Pro Pianist Anomalie Hears Taylor Swift For The FIRST TIME🔥

[@anomaliebeats]

Thanks so much for having me!!

[@Foodgeek]

No, thank you 😍

[@KevinCastroMusic]

Bro, you crushed this!!! I want every song to have an Anomalie version. Can’t wait to have you back 🙌🏽

[@rdennisdom]

Bravo man!

[@peergroning7556]

That was awesome, loved it

[@Mr.TeETH78]

You’re awesome!

[@staccatoabeat]

Anomalie is absolutely underrated.. He deserves more..I’m Pumped up for this! 🙌🏻

[@PianoteOfficial]

Agree🙌🏼 he’s something else! 🎹🔥

He needs to put out another album

[@mikedunn2793]

Anomalie, Jacob Collier, and some Snarky Puppy would be crazy

[@TTinari]

@piotrgoacki9070 they have multiple key players, as well as guitarists, drummers, and musicians on the same instruments on the same songs. Also plenty of collaborators. Jacob already has collabed with Snarky Puppy, including on keys.

[@zerodotmachina]

They can't bring Corey Henry because anything he plays automatically replaces the official version

[@Chris-px2gf]

@@zerodotmachina Cory will turn this into a gospel harmonic insanity. Anomalie's ear is incredible as well though, such surprising harmonies and chord choices.

[@Guinevere4399]

I need the 3 of them to collab fr

[@felixquaye7471]

Jacob will make it into a whole new genre and change keys like 6 times.... and it would still sound divine

[@Haywyremusic]

Yes!!!🔥🔥🔥

martin u goin next? 🧐

Omg it’s haywyre

[@jbowers56]

So cool to see that Anomalie's playing is just as cold given next to zero preparation. Such a beautiful blend of jazz, gospel and modern electronic music language.

[@justyntime_]

Shout out to the editor(s) who painstakingly colored every key red every time he played it 😂🔥

[@originaali]

I think they recorded the midi notes also and used those to trigger the program :)!

[@justyntime_]

[@eraz0rhead]

I honestly loved this take. I'm not familiar with the original, but to me, the thematic changes between the sections were fluid, natural, and extremely well structured rhythmically and harmonically. This is a great series. I was hooked when I saw the Huey Lewis episode, and this is yet another great showcase of talent

[@FillyNouch]

I had the pleasure to work for Anomalie 10 years ago (I was the technical director on a show he was part of). I've heard his stuff way before I knew he was part of the festival, I was already a fan. Such a sweet and kind human being, his success is truly deserved.

[@mahefafenmore3498]

My god imagine if Taylor decided to send Antoff for a vacation and work with musicians like him. Like she could write the songs and then send it without chords so the musician can harmonize it however they want - she would win every single professional musician in the industry

[@jonathanhenderson9422]

AFAIK she uses Antonoff more for his productions than input on chords and music structure. I agree though; she has such strong hooks but most of her songs could be even better with some harmonic spice. Plus I think she's really gotten into a samey monotony working with Antonoff (and Dessner) too much. She really needs another style refresh.

[@djkoelkast]

Anomalie is such a great artist, but also a great guy. I had the honor to meet him after his concert in Amsterdam a few years back and I will never forget that. He was so nice to talk to, I still cherish that he took the time to do that and be such an amazing artist and person.

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

To be honest, If Anomalie and Taylor made an album with Taylor’s producer to help them with the structure… that would be an genre transcendent, all-time album that no one would be able to deny.

[@oli7173]

Anomalie doesn't need help with song structure lmao

[@adrienaliphon5384]

I beg you swifties to stfu about Taylor like she's done talented out of this world icon😭 This guy deserves to play with someone that can actually sing and perform

[@TicoTorres]

@@adrienaliphon5384 im not a swiftie but saying that she cant sing or perform is just dumb lol

[@DangerousGuitarist]

This was incredible - love Anomalie’s ear for harmony and extensions! Supergroup request: Henrik Linder, Anomalie, Larnell Lewis, Jacob Collier (vox + harpejji) and Justin Lee Schultz (guitar + keys).

[@garethryancreative]

It is so refreshing to have a keyboardist who is actually listening to the music and not just soloing for 3 - 4 mins like a lot of the other musicians that have done this challenge. You can tell that Anomalie is such a fantastic artist who should be celebrated for these creative choices!

[@benjaminlandrail]

Anomalie is a monster musician. This has to be the best rendition of all the "for the first time" episodes I've listened to, on all instruments. No showing off, no mindless shredding, no overcomplicating - just pure class, taste and musicianship. This can easily be turned into a streaming-friendly official arrangement of the song. Amazing job.

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

These are all so amazing. It's just hilarious NONE of them can conceive that selected tracks are Pop. It's like sandblasting a soup cracker.

[@RebaGould]

I enjoyed Anomalie's version so much more than the original!

[@paulthiebaut]

OMGGGG yess thank you for inviting Anomalie, please do another episode with him !

[@metehanemir7981]

CORY HENRY PLS!!!!!!

[@lindsaylor]

As a longtime Swiftie, I have to say Anomalie killed it! It's different from the original, but a neat vibe. I'd love to hear more artists put their spin on her songs, but I'm a fan of this series no matter what. Fantastic content!

[@CharlesIsOnYT]

He got Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Rob Araujo in his hands… Love him so much

[@fiddlestix3025]

What an absolutely monstrously brilliant take on this song by Nico! I don’t have enough words. How much fun to watch his creative mind in action. And his hands and fingers! Like water all over the keyboard. This was so beautiful 💜 Thanks again y’all for a happy day 👍✌️🤘👍

[@hitsounds]

This channel has some brilliant interpretations from phenomenal artists, but honestly this is my favourite. Just the way he complimented the song was perfect. Managing to establish a landing point for the chorus, but also transitions that actually work with the vocal - blimey - so impressed! Hats off to Anomalie.

[@spalding1968]

That was absolutely amazing . Now I am going to spend the next 5 hours watching anomalie performances 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@RyanLafford]

So awesome to see Anomalie doing one of these!

[@PianoteOfficial]

🎹🙌🏼✨

[@fortabule]

Thank you thank you thank you! I had never heard of Anomalie until this video....and now my musical life is now complete. He is beyond insanely gifted!!

[@dvclasico]

Anomalie is one of the best producers and pianists in the world

[@michaelbeeministries2020]

I think his version is perfect for a live setting. Her version would be good for radio listening. That's my opinion. 😀

[@VijayMarshall]

honestly makes perfect sense, also ramping up the percussions would make for a nice concert number

[@skaposzczet]

So much funk! Loved this way more than the original version.

[@milkyway2128]

anomalie gave a lot of different colors to the song ❤

[@GHRiz]

Jeeze! You guys just keep bringing in all the obscure big guns! I've been following Nico for years on YT and Twitch. He's an absolutely amazing player and I can't wait to hear what he's going to do with Taylor!

[@ChrisFoster-r3r]

Do you ever send the "new" versions to the artists? I thought this was amazing!

[@byadyatama]

YESSSSS when it comes to rearranging a song anomalie never fails!

[@PianoteOfficial]

👆🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@MatNewtonTrio]

Nico is bloody awesome. Big fan for many years. Lovely reharms.

[@BullytraxMusic]

He such a great musician and artist. And so humble.. I don't think he went overboard at all, he provided a new foundation for the song which greatly improved and made it a lot more interesting.

[@touchthatdial]

He is an absolute wizard. Seriously great player.

[@JasiuBC]

Anomalie is most underrated key player of all time

[@charliebarredafriends61]

Loved it! I wish she gets to hear your take on the song and the possibilities with your production ideas.

[@clydekaila123]

Greg Phillinganes and Kiefer on these please? Also, never heard of this guy till now..WOW!

[@Martial-Mat]

If the point is to showcase the guest's interpretation, it would be great to have their performance mixed higher. The drums/bass were so dominant, it masked half his performance out.

[@SuperNikel97]

I agree with you apart for the fact that the bass you are hearing is played by him actually. He had just Drums and Vocals. I think he did multiple tracks to add layers

[@PianoteKevin]

A lot has to do with the timbre of the Rhodes! He layered a Piano Track and Synth "Sparkle" on top but the Bass you are hearing is the low end of the Rhodes. Might I suggest listening with some headphones? 😍

[@Martial-Mat]

@@PianoteKevin Oh that was an excellent suggestion, thank you. The individual elements are pulled out much more clearly, and the spatial separation does wonders. What a difference!

[@Martial-Mat]

@@SuperNikel97 Thank you.

[@miguelaguilera1653]

Super agree, i get the sound of the Rhodes but it could be louder in the mix, like drumeo, the drums are always louder than the actual track cause that’s what it’s about

[@cookiemastergamez]

That sound on the keyboard has some panning, and it sounds awesome with earphones!

[@invisiblecurious856]

Everything is better when jazz.

[@cooldebt]

Yes! I also realised this about 10 years ago when I discovered The Consouls' vgm jazz covers. (Hmmm, maybe Pianote should invite Zorsy?)

[@DiogoBaeder]

I didn't know him, and this is now my favorite episode in the series. Amazing stuff, such a good taste in chord and sequence selection!

[@Heavyperro]

He “handled it beautifully.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tunamusic6540]

Great Job. We would like to see Rai Thistlethwayte on this concept❤

[@djhansol4224]

Can you make these episodes longer?!?

[@benfrancois2924]

Saw Anomalie in Calgary a few months ago! What a legend

[@error9900]

Super cool take. Some awesome harmonies and voicings. It sounded like Anomalie but still tastefully fit the song.

[@guywithdogs]

How long was the full session where this was done? Just curious in terms of how much time some of these folks use getting the whole flow. It's amazing, humbling and inspirational to watch.

[@kpag3030]

Damn, is Taylor Swift a dope ass Jazz Funk singer now?

[@ReadAndReturn]

This was actually a really great vibe. strip away just a bit of that pristine vox mix and boom, you got yourself a groovy/jazz version. Love it.

[@Steveobrine_Official]

Huge fan of Anomalie's music, this was so cool to watch!!

[@isaiasgabrielhuichaqueo7380]

Finally, Taylor Swift sounds interesting

[@anxee]

“I feel tricked”. Love this dude.

SO fire and fun to hear this come together in such FIRE ways!

[@ricebowl3]

wonderful rendition very subtle character with our overdoing it, but keeping with pace of song

[@lalystar4230]

is there a way to find these reimagined versions of the songs from this series on like spotify? They're so much fun to listen to!

This guy have a monster master mind

[@nugglife3035]

Anomalie is absolutely incredible. If you're not familiar with Anomalie and Gramatik... Do yourself a favor and get familiar. 🤙

[@tommurrayGTR]

Very busy, but as he saif if he was recording it and not doing a live take it would be a lot more to the point. Some really cool chord choices though connected with those seemingly effortless runs. This guy👌

[@thewaldfe9763]

If all Taylor Swift songs would sound like this, I might start getting the hype.

[@thomasreuter1968]

🤣🤣🤣 same here!

[@theofanmahmuti1053]

Weird, what he did before knowling it at all worked better than after working it out. Like that bit @2:33

[@IWannaGoMissing]

Haha I love everything he does but he’s so good that often his noodling is brilliant and could be an entire song on its own. If you watch his steams he noodles some ridiculously beautiful parts. One of my favorite musicians :)

[@tomekkolanowski6643]

Oh, this L/R modulation is exhausting

[@saguntandukar940]

Show us what exactly he did with notations with chords and notes what he did during the song...

[@Azuremane]

My question is how many of the folks that they bring in have perfect or relative pitch. Cool Video and nice musical interpretation.

[@IWannaGoMissing]

Well everyone has relative pitch!

[@xiansamurai774]

This is f**** awesome . 🎉 love it

[@MrMizr]

Anomalie is great ! Please please get Justin Lee Schultz and/or Jesus Molina !

[@Bashanvibe]

I love this guy brain!!!

[@polarpigs_oficial8808]

You should have Jacob Collier it would be amazing

[@ryanstephanus]

a perfectionist chord wizard period.. but sometimes collides with the vox
