Piano Restoration Melbourne: Revitalize Your Instrument

Pianos are not just musical instruments; they are cherished heirlooms, centerpieces of homes, and gateways to artistic expression. Over time, even the finest pianos can experience wear and tear, losing their tonal quality and visual appeal. For those in Melbourne, preserving and revitalizing these beloved instruments is now easier than ever with Hendry Pianos’ expert piano restoration services. Here’s why restoring your piano with Hendry Pianos is an investment worth making.

The Importance of Piano Restoration

Piano restoration is a meticulous process that involves repairing, refinishing, and rejuvenating an instrument to bring it back to its original glory or even enhance its quality. Here’s why you might consider restoring your piano:

Preserve Sentimental Value: Many pianos are family heirlooms, passed down through generations. Restoring these instruments preserves their sentimental value and keeps family traditions alive.

Enhance Sound Quality: Over time, pianos can lose their tonal quality. Restoration can bring back the rich, vibrant sound that made you fall in love with the instrument in the first place.

Cost-Effective: A full restoration can be more cost-effective than buying a new, high-quality piano. It allows you to retain a superior instrument at a fraction of the cost.

Aesthetic Appeal: A restored piano is not only a musical asset but also a beautiful piece of furniture that can enhance the décor of any room.

The Hendry Pianos Difference

At Hendry Pianos, we understand the deep connection pianists have with their instruments. Our restoration services in Melbourne are designed to honor that connection, bringing each piano back to life with meticulous care and attention to detail.

The restoration process begins with a thorough assessment of the piano. Our experts examine every aspect, from the soundboard and strings to the action and exterior finish. This detailed evaluation helps us understand the unique needs of your piano and develop a tailored restoration plan.

Skilled Craftsmanship

Our team of skilled craftsmen has years of experience in piano restoration. They use traditional techniques combined with modern technology to ensure the highest quality results. Whether it’s replacing worn-out hammers, repairing the soundboard, or refinishing the cabinet, every step is performed with precision and care.

Quality Materials

We believe that the quality of materials used in restoration is just as important as the craftsmanship. Hendry Pianos sources the finest materials, from premium-grade wood for soundboards to high-quality strings and action parts. This ensures that your piano not only looks stunning but also performs flawlessly.

Refinishing and Rebuilding

The aesthetic restoration of a piano is as important as its mechanical repair. Our refinishing process restores the piano’s exterior to its original luster or can even enhance its appearance with custom finishes. We also rebuild key structural components to ensure the piano’s longevity and stability.

Tuning and Voicing

Once the physical restoration is complete, our technicians focus on the piano’s tonal quality. This involves tuning the strings and voicing the hammers to achieve the perfect sound. Our goal is to ensure that your piano sounds as beautiful as it looks, offering a rich, dynamic range that meets your musical preferences.

Maintaining Your Restored Piano

After restoration, maintaining your piano is crucial to preserving its condition and sound quality. Here are some tips to help you keep your piano in top shape:

Regular Tuning: Schedule regular tunings to maintain the piano’s sound quality. Ideally, a piano should be tuned at least twice a year.

Proper Environment: Keep your piano in a stable environment with consistent temperature and humidity levels. Extreme fluctuations can affect the wood and tuning.

Cleaning: Dust the piano regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the finish.

Professional Maintenance: Periodically have your piano inspected by a professional technician to address any minor issues before they become major problems.

Blake Shelton has 28 career No. 1 songs on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, and another seven that have reached the Top 10. It'd be easy just to stick with the singles in making a list of his best songs, but who likes easy?

Find plenty of deep cuts on this list of Shelton's 50 best songs, including his spiritual songs. Those are sprinkled all over the playlist — The Voice coach is a rare singer who can sing about drinking and heartache with as much conviction as his relationship with God. Fans will find a new one called "Bible Verses" on his Body Language album. It does well on this staff and reader partnership.

Songs with ex-wife Miranda Lambert and fiancee Gwen Stefani make the list as well, but the Top 10 Blake Shelton songs are all solo efforts ... with one exception. Is it strange that his most convincing bedroom ballad was a collaboration with a different "Gwen"? Cover songs by George Jones and Conway Twitty, collaborations with RaeLynn and Trace Adkins, and a co-write with Earl Thomas Conley all make this list of Shelton's top songs. Which is your No. 1?

Top Blake Songs: His Greatest Hits + Best Deep Cuts

Taste of Country staff opinion, and the commercial success of tracks from Shelton's 12 studio albums were certainly considered in making this list of the top songs. More than anything, we sought fan input, via sales and direct input. What's your favorite Blake Shelton song, and does it agree with our No. 1?

Below are the The Voice coach's 50 best songs. Lyrical integrity and production were also considered in this ranking. Really it's hard to argue against any of the Top 5, but we understand if there's a debate about placement. Heck, we encourage it!

Warner Music Nashville

No. 50: "She's Got a Way With Words"

Songwriters Andy Albert, Marc Beeson and Wyatt Earp wrote a clever country lyric, but the problem is, it felt too personal from Blake Shelton in 2016. This is the song that stopped Shelton's impressive streak of No. 1 singles. Sonically, very few songs from this era stand apart from one another.

No. 49: "Gonna"

" isn't a bad song — a strong case could be made that it's better than some of the singles ranked ahead of it on this list of the top 50 Blake Shelton songs, actually — the love story from 2014 just isn't memorable in any way. Think about it: At best you said, "I remember that song" but more likely thought, "which one is that?"

No. 48: "The Wave"

" is a unique metaphor for how a good love can wash away all of your troubles. Blake Shelton's song from Texoma Shore is another fan favorite. The mid-tempo track displays his voice nicely.

No. 47: "When the Wine Wears Off"

," an album track from Texoma Shore that could have been a single. The song's structure and flow is very similar to so many hits from this era of Blake Shelton.

No. 46: "Anyone Else"

When asked which deep cut they like most, Blake Shelton fans chose "

," an album cut from Bringing Back the Sunshine. This ballad shows a bitterness that's rare across the singer's discography, and certainly this list of 50 songs. It's packaged in a fairly unoffensive arrangement, but his lyrics really sting.

No. 45: "Over"

Blake Shelton gives a great vocal performance of a fairly ordinary song during "

," his fourth straight No. 1 single from the Red River Blue album.

No. 44: "I'll Just Hold On"

Shelton relied on a sitar to make this song stand out. It only worked to get him a Top 10 hit. The remainder of "

" is arranged more conventionally, making the outsider instrument something of a gimmick.

No. 43: "All Over Me"

" will always hold a special place for Shelton, as he co-wrote it with an idol, Earl Thomas Conley. The piano-led ballad finds the singer doing something truly unique: Showcasing a timid falsetto during the chorus of this poignant, pure country single. Lyrically it's difficult to keep up with, but sonically it's bold, like so many of his early hits.

No. 42: "Every Time I Hear That Song"

In retrospect, very few songs from Shelton's post-divorce album stack up against his earliest and most recent singles and deep cuts. "

" relies on a vocal hook, but the performance lacks urgency. Still, it hit No. 1 easily.

No. 41: "Sure Be Cool If You Did"

Shelton's Based on a True Story ... album started with "

," but every single that followed is far better and more engaging. This love ballad doesn't hurt for warmth, but the arrangement is milquetoast at best.

No. 40: "Drink on It"

Real life couple Jessi Alexander and Jon Randall joined Rodney Clawson for this track from Shelton's Red River Blue album. While still a No. 1 hit, "

" gets a little lost among other more dynamic performances and arrangements on this list of his 50 best songs.

No. 39: "I'll Name the Dogs"

" cast Blake Shelton as a husband in waiting, something his fans and the world in general were hoping for in his real life. The No. 1 hit from 2017 went Platinum on the strength of a pop-rock chorus and a charming lyrical hook.

No. 38: "Happy Anywhere"

" — the second of two straight single collaborations with Gwen Stefani — hit No. 1 and is a total earworm. It's hard to criticize the feel-good jam, but we'll say "Nobody But You" is a superior duet for the country couple.

No. 37: "Neon Light"

In a vacuum, "Neon Light" — a No. 1 hit, released in 2014 — is a funky, country and hip fusion that works. Across Blake Shelton's full catalog of hits and album cuts, however, it tries to do too many things that this singer does better elsewhere. For that reason, this track rates a bit low on this list of Shelton's best songs.

No. 36: "Granddaddy's Gun"

Aaron Lewis' version of this same song was more convincing, but Blake Shelton's "

" wasn't trying to act tough. The more sensitive singer's rendition was more sensitive and polished. The two men were targeting different country audiences.

No. 35: "A Guy With a Girl"

Blake Shelton celebrates his woman during "

" a No. 1 hit from If I'm Honest. The song is a sweet gesture, made atop a radio-ready arrangement.

No. 34: "Nobody But You"

The first of two straight, Gwen Stefani duets to country radio finds the couple trading lines as they tell a love story that can only be described as genuine. The No. 1 hit reached a very pleasing one million downloads quickly. "

" should not be confused with another song on this list. It's a progressive, pop-friendly ballad that truly simmers.

No. 33: "When Somebody Knows You That Well"

Of all of Blake Shelton's official singles, "

" faired the worst. It barely cracked the Top 40, possibly due to an outdated, string heavy arrangement. But it's not a bad little song. Harley Allen co-wrote this ballad and Shelton does OK in finding the right perspective. 'A' for effort, big fella.

No. 32: "Doin' What She Likes"

This charming No. 1 hit is best remembered for a music video in which a bumbling Blake Shelton burns the house down trying to cook a romantic dinner for Miranda Lambert, who makes a vocal cameo early. Sans video, "

" is a warm love song that's fit for a squeeze.

No. 31: "Just South of Heaven"

Another fan favorite from deep in Shelton's catalog, "

" finds the singer relying on a familiar mood over a welcome acoustic guitar and fiddle combination.

No. 30: "Came Here to Forget"

If you expected Blake Shelton's post-divorce album to include some heartache, you were right. "

is a dark country lyric atop an R&B-infused guitar line. His twang keeps it country, but the song is among his most progressive No. 1 hits. Often when he stretches the genre, it's done with a wink — not this time.

No. 29: "Sangria"

Few songs on this list of Blake Shelton's best smolder like "

." The love song rides a warm melody that covers for a barely-there hook. This 2015 hit was one in a string of No. 1 hits for Shelton, most of which went Gold or Platinum.

No. 28: "Jesus Got a Tight Grip"

When Blake Shelton does sit down to write, what comes out is often spiritual. Deep love songs and reflections on a higher power make up his short songwriting catalog. Jessi Alexander helped him with "

," a plucky country-rocker from 2019.

No. 27 Draggin' the River

" tells a dark story of two lovers escaping together, and in that way, it's very Miranda. Shelton's polished vocals and a sweetened production make this track from the All About Tonight EP very Blake, however. While not a single, it was a fan favorite back when they were a couple. We still dig it.

No. 26: "Minimum Wage"

Blake Shelton's blue-collar love song is no "Friends in Low Places" but the spirit of this song still hits today. There's not a lot of love-conquers-all messaging across his catalog, at least not as much as that of storytellers like

" is a mainstream effort that did its job of introducing a new album, but it's hard to put it high on this list of Shelton's 50 best at this point.

No. 25: "Footloose"

Blake Shelton didn't deviate much from Kenny Loggins' original version. The country "

" wasn't a radio hit, but it went Gold and introduced the country singer to an all-genre audience that was just beginning to learn of him via The Voice.

No. 24: "Some Beach"

One could make a case for "

" as Shelton's most important song, as it saved a career that was spiraling after a trio of Top 40 country airplay hits. This is the first time fans got to witness his sense of humor and sarcasm — remember, there was no Twitter in 2004. A pre

Rory Feek co-wrote "Some Beach," showing how wide the singer reached for great songs early in his career.

No. 23: "Bible Verses"

" is the faith song on Blake Shelton's 2021 album Body Language, and it's truly a highlight on the project. The singer approaches the topic with genuine humility that feels as honest as any love or drinking song he has recorded. A great play on a phrase pushes the song higher up on this Top 50 list.

No. 22: "Hillbilly Bone" with Trace Adkins

Blake Shelton proved he's a dynamic duet partner with this partnership with Trace

" is among his most well-known songs, even if it's not a Top 10 song on our list. Amid a catalog of songs with sexy, delicate women, this rocker with tough guy Adkins stands up and demands you pay attention. Even the haters have to smile!

No. 21: "Nobody But Me"

Did you even know that Shelton has a hit song called "Nobody But You" and "

"? The former is his most recent hit with Gwen Stefani, but the 2005 love ballad is the one that deserves a celebration. A jazzy piano carries the country singer atop this pleading love song. It's both memorable and effective.

No. 20: "Savior's Shadow"

Jessi Alexander returns to this list of the best Blake Shelton songs to offer a gentle message about faith and peace. "

" is Shelton's only Hot Christian Songs hit, reaching No. 14 in 2016. He's rarely, if ever, performs the song live.

No. 19: "The More I Drink"

," a Top 10 hit for Blake Shelton in 2007. The singer's early rompers are unmistakably genuine. In his later years, a certain polish would change the raw messaging, but that doesn't exist in this Brent Rowan production.

No. 18: "Playboys of the Southwestern World"

This is a song about best friends. "

" is a critic's pick for this list because we can recall him playing it live. The song is largely shelved now, but it still cooks. As a storyteller, few artists do better than Shelton, as some of the highest ranked songs on this list will prove. Playboys (No. 24 in 2003) is a different kind of story.

No. 17: "Lonely Tonight"

Give Shelton credit: At a time when few solo females could break in country music, he was doing what he could to celebrate talent.

is just one example of the hitmaker looking past stars who would have furthered his career to support Nashville's best. This dark ballad about a one night stand is a provocative conversation that just burned in 2014, a time where Blake Shelton was king. During "

No. 16: "Turnin' Me On"

Blake Shelton hasn't written very many of the songs found on this list of his 50 best. "

" is a rare case where he set out to write a song that became a hit, albeit a minor one. The simmering love song only reached the Top 10 after its 2018 release, but charts aren't everything. Years later it really stands apart from the rest of the songs he released to radio. You can feel his passion as he sings a song that he clearly had girlfriend Gwen Stefani in mind for.

No. 15: "I Lived It"

This Top 5 hit for Blake Shelton seemed to come and go, but we wish it would have stuck around as a catalog cut for the singer. "

" is among his best late model songs as it treads into new, nostalgic territory for a singer who is so often singing of love and love lost.

No. 14: "The Baby"

Blake Shelton cemented himself as one of country music's most promising young storytellers with three of his first four singles, including "

." The heartbreaking mother-son story is a gut punch for older country music fans. Melodically, the chorus gives it wings. This song from The Dreamer would become his second No. 1 hit.

No. 13: "All About Tonight"

" for Blake Shelton, and it's a song that will forever hold a place in his live show. It's kind of the theme song for any country concert, isn't it? In truth, Shelton hasn't released too many all-out jams like this one in the last decade, so it stands out a decade later.

No. 12: "Boys 'Round Here" With Pistol Annies and RaeLynn

Every once in awhile Blake Shelton drops a song that reminds you he doesn't take himself too seriously. It's critical to his artistry and an integral part of his longevity. "

" was his early 2010s version of that song. It's a sort of hip-hop-inspired redneck stomp with callback lyrics and his then-wife's supergroup supporting him. The song is just so much fun to bop along with, even a decade later.

No. 11: "God Gave Me You"

Blake Shelton took Dave Barnes' "

God Gave Me You

" and turned it into a Grammy-nominated, chart-topping country song. But that's just part of the story. The emotive love ballad is also what gave the singer the kick in the pants he needed to propose marriage to then-girlfriend Miranda Lambert. This is a tremendous vocal performance and certainly worthy of a high placement on the singer's best songs list.

No. 10: "My Eyes"

Blake Shelton and

Gwen Sebastian

kept a brother-sister kind of relationship after her time on The Voice. She even joined his band. That changed with "

," a true bed burner that beckons, "Come a little closer, come a little closer / Come a little closer, love the way you look tonight / My eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you."

"My Eyes" was the last of a trio of great male/female collaborations that truly put new female artists on a pedestal. RaeLynn and Pistol Annies joined him for "Boys 'Round Here," Ashley Monroe jumped in for "Lonely Tonight" and Sebastian for "My Eyes." This was a time when women struggled mightily at country radio, but the singer did what he could to help introduce new talent.

Warner Music Nashville

No. 9: "Home"

You see a real change in Blake Shelton's commercial success beginning with his cover of "

" in 2008. One could argue this is his most important radio release, and his vocals stand up to anything else he's put out. Prior to his version of the Michel Bublé song, Top 20 was where he lived. After that, he rattled off a string of No. 1 hits as long as anyone ever: Nineteen of Shelton's next 20 singles hit No. 1.

Warner Music Nashville

No. 8: "Goodbye Time"

There is more than one famous cover among Blake Shelton's 50 best songs. "

" was a

Conway Twitty

hit in 1988, and the younger singer did it justice with a piano-led arrangement that showcased him as a premier vocalist. This song also exemplifies why he was hit-and-miss at radio in the mid 2000s. It followed the chart-topping "Some Beach," which followed a Top 40 song called "When Somebody Knows You That Well." It's good to go back and forth between good times and heartache, but with Shelton, the pendulum swung too far every time. It was hard to figure out who he was for most of a decade.

No. 7: "Ol' Red"

" is not Blake Shelton's best song, but it's his signature song. He can't play a live show without telling this story of a prisoner, a dog and a warden who gets fooled. Early in his career, Shelton wasn't shy about covering other artists, including Conway Twitty and (in this case) George Jones. His tie to the past has loosened in recent years, which is a bummer because songs like this are far more interesting than anything on the radio today.

Warner Music Nashville

No. 6: "Honey Bee"

There's not an easier song in Blake Shelton's catalog to enjoy than "

," his slightly saccharine, but still grinning love song from 2011. The track went triple-Platinum and is perhaps his most recognizable song worldwide today.

No. 5: "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking"

Joe Nichols

cut this song several years before Shelton would make it his best love song. Both versions are exemplary. It starts with the songwriting. Lyrically, "

" is more sensitive and poetic than anything else on this list. Each line is phrased as a question, and each question is one any woman can relate to. The magic is in this hitmaker's personal delivery. His range isn't needed for a subtle romancer that the greats would be proud of. Few country women will resist a warm smile when this No. 1 hit begins.

Warner Music Nashville

No. 4: "God's Country"

God's Country

" rejuvenated Blake Shelton's career. The country-rock song paints a vivid picture but it works so well because everyone who touched the song went for it 100 percent. The chart-topping hit is arguably his best of the last half-decade and an easy pick for Top 10 on this list of his greatest songs.

No. 3: "She Wouldn't Be Gone"

There's no song in Blake Shelton's catalog that paints a breathtaking picture with the same ease of "

She Wouldn't Be Gone

," his No. 1 song from 2008. He begins with, "Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you / Took you home set you on the counter" before his second metered stanza that goes, "Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view / Oh, how she'd love to sit and watch you / I could have done that a whole lot more."

The chorus of this song is where the tension lies, however. Shelton has told great stories before and delivered strong vocal performances plenty of times, but few songs find him so recklessly emotional as this ballad. It's almost unnerving to listen to.

No. 2: "Mine Would Be You"

" is a Top 5 Blake Shelton song because of the twist at the end that just crushes your heart. It's a love song, until suddenly it isn't. Jessi Alexander and company wrote it, but it's the singer's energy that makes the song special. As with "She Wouldn't Be Gone," there's a sense of panic so rare on the radio today. Shelton seems like such a cool character most of the time, but moments like this remind us of his gifts.

No. 1: "Austin"

Fans have, and will continue to, make a case for "

" as Blake Shelton's best song. It's certainly an all-time great debut single — one that would work in any era of country music. Early in his career, the Oklahoma native relied on veteran songwriters and producers like Bobby Braddock to shape his sound. These days everything comes with a little more polish, which is fine and probably even necessary.

You can't compare 20-year-old tracks like "Austin" with modern songs like "I'll Name the Dogs." Lyrically, his newest material lacks depth when held up against the rich tapestry of these early hits. So many songs from Shelton's first two albums make the Top 10 or even Top 20 of this list for this reason. "Austin" at No. 1? It's tempting to select another for the sake of being bold, but doing so would just be dishonest.

The second half of the 1960s ushered within the era of music festivals — culminating with the granddaddy of all of them, Woodstock, in August 1969. Scary Movie was a fairly good film that started a horrible pattern. You realize in your heart what I communicate of, for it haunts the dark corners of every Netflix and Hulu menu. Someday in the early 2000s, filmmakers completely forgot what the purpose of a spoof was. Instead of parodying broad genres, like The Naked Gun did with detectives and Austin Powers did with spy movies, folks simply started putting nouns in entrance of the word "film" and http://www.audio-transcoder.com shitting out ninety minutes of determined actors recreating scenes from pop culture like your worst co-worker.

After crafting 14 albums worth of earnest, guitar pop, Sexsmith developed a cult following despite many of songs becoming mainstream hits for others reminiscent of Feist's ‘Secret Coronary heart' and Michael Buble's No matter It Takes'.

Rock - Referred to as one of the vital famous genres, this one is used to describe many various musical types. Initially, rock was fused collectively by two different in style genres, valoriesandridge.hatenadiary.com blues and nation, and even specific elements of jazz. The style was additionally typified and particularly recognized utilizing the snare drum. From this unimaginable genre, which was developed at its peak, in the 1950's, it also developed into many various sub-genres.

Music can be divided into genres (e.g., country music ) and genres may be further divided into subgenres (e.g., country blues and pop country are two of the various nation subgenres), although the dividing traces and relationships between music genres are often refined, sometimes open to non-public interpretation, and sometimes controversial. For instance, it can be arduous to attract the line between some early Eighties arduous rock and heavy metallic Throughout the arts , music may be classified as a performing artwork , a fine artwork or as an auditory art. Music could also be played or sung and heard live at a rock live performance or orchestra efficiency, heard live as a part of a dramatic work (a music theater present or opera), or it could be recorded and listened to on a radio, MP3 participant, CD participant , smartphone or as movie score or TELEVISION present. Michael Jackson , with the possible exception of Elvis Presley, was the epitome of bigger-than-life pop music figures. He hit the pop highlight as a toddler of eleven in 1969 along with his brothers in the group Jackson 5. At the finish of the next decade, he emerged as a young grownup recording artist. Michael Jackson recorded "Thriller," still the second best-selling album of all time in the United States (and the highest one around the globe), and was the world's largest pop star in the late Nineteen Eighties. His profession grew to become mired in tabloid rumors and felony investigations. However, his star nonetheless shone brightly when he died suddenly at age 50 in 2009. How do standard artists type their public identities by mobilizing existing stylistic kinds? Strong evidence suggests that specific imperatives" 1 impose penalties on producers for illegitimate position performance, particularly when performance is evaluated by critics and discriminating audiences, as it is in the music business. Much analysis, furthermore, argues that musical style expectations particularly profoundly arrange the music industry 2 - four , shaping how band members meet 5 - 6 , producers select and venues e-book bands 7 - eight , radio stations select what to play 9 - 10 , document label divisions are organized, music information is reported, in addition to how fans discover music to get pleasure from and people to take pleasure in it with 4 As such, style designations and expectations present crucial reference points that inform the way in which musicians construct their public presentation of self.

Within the words of P!nk (whose first album was R&B) "No one desires to listen to a love song that you do not mean". Not just the genre itself however arguably the love and romance of Modern R&B is dead. Changed by songs dealing with trashy cleaning soap opera, Jerry Springer subjects. With extra vocal gymnastics and a few obscure, treacly excessive-pitched sound within the background. The fusion of recent R&B to hip-hop tends to dilute each these Genres. Interestingly enough, Up to date R&B pushed soul music off the charts.

R∃/MEMBER (Individual Song Thoughts) - SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] 3rd Album

I made a review on the 2nd album, 2V-ALK a while ago so here is the next installment. This is mostly for the Sawano Discord server but I’m posting it here for convenience and safekeeping purposes.

01. Glory -into the RM- (violin: SUGIZO from X Japan; vocal: Yosh)

I really love the instrumental parts of this track. It works well as an introduction piece and is up there with ~prologue~ for me. The vocal parts with Yosh are a bit weak and turn the track from a badass instrumental piece to a stadium football game chant. The track can do without it. However, there is that one section after the chorus where Yosh whispers like he’s singing in a 2000′s alternative rock band and the vocals do this cool panning effect. SUGIZO from X Japan is on the violin and his parts are really good and have a lot of synergy with the sampled bagpipes and piano. The guitar chugs are also pretty cool and remind me of TBFworld a bit. Overall, it’s a good track despite the vocal section being a bit unnecessary. Speaking of, them lyrics. “Honor of dying alone”? Was this made for Thunderbolt Fantasy or something?

02. EVERCHiLD (vocal: Akihito Okano from PornoGraffiti)

I admit the track has grown on me a bit and I definitely like it more than I did when the first preview video of it showed up. Still, as I’ve stated many times, I don’t really like happy and bright songs too much and prefer something with a stronger emotional impact. Still, the track is nice and again I’m glad Sawano did something different with the drums for once rather than layering electronic beats over an acoustic kit. My biggest problem with the track is the last chorus and the outro. “Tiny world is so stuffed all day, but nothing’s gonna change my story” is sung 6 times back to back and gets repetitive after the 2nd one. Should have just kept it as an instrumental. Other than that, I’m not the biggest fan of Akihito Okano’s voice. I like him more in the first Bnha OP for instance.

03. never gonna change (vocal: SukimaSwitch)

One of the tracks I’ve been most hyped for since the preview has dropped and boy does it not disappoint. I love the guitar and the drums and SukimaSwitch’s voice is really nice. It honestly reminds me some of the pop-ish music I used to listen when I was younger. The “2nd chorus” in the original PV was actually the bridge, to my surprise. The 2nd verse, which is new here, is really good. Love the guitar that comes in after the first few measures. Overall, the track is great.

Lastly, that instrumental outro section with the piano and guitar was completely unexpected but it’s amazing. It sounds like it would be a track rearrangement if never gonna change was an OST piece. Really good and honestly adds a whole new dimension at the end of an otherwise great track. My favorite so far.

04. narrative (vocal: LiSA)

Now we get to some of the tracks which have already been heard before in other releases. I’d be repeating myself if I go in detail like with the other tracks so the tl;dr version would be that I don’t think LiSA’s voice fits this type of Sawano music at all. Not that it’s a surprise considering the track wasn’t even composed with her vocals in mind. The instrumental is, for all it’s worth, actually not that bad. I don’t really mind the strings, or “casio pad strings” as dante calls them and it makes the song at least a bit more interesting.

05. i-mage (vocal: Aimer)

It’s been a long time since an Aimer and Sawano collab and unfortunately I don’t think the wait was that worth it. For the record, I really love Aimer’s voice but the song composition itself is what I dislike. Similarly to EVERCHiLD, the song just doesn’t have enough emotional impact, at least for me. I can see the appeal of it otherwise but personally it doesn’t do much on my end. The intro and verse are alright but the chorus is where it gets too playful for me to take it seriously and I found myself spacing out and losing focus on the actual track which hasn’t happened with the other songs so far. The 2nd verse has some cool bass going on but it sounds really noisy in the mix for some reason. Lastly, again, same problem with EVERCHiLD where the standout English portion of the lyrics, in this case “Light and dreams that children hold tight, now you have them in your right hand” repeats way too much in the last chorus and outro portions. Same formula.

Despite all of these complaints I think if I listen to the track enough it might grow on me. Might. But other than that, a bit underwhelming and personally my least favorite Sawano and Aimer collaboration for now.

06. NOISEofRAIN (vocal: swan with nishi Takanori Nishikawa from TM Revolution)

I’m gonna be honest here, it’s really hard for me to talk about this song without any irony and memes to go with it. This song just slaps. That’s it. I listen to it on an almost daily basis and have been doing so since it came out at the end of November. Can’t really say much other than it’s my favorite [nZk] song and Takanori Nishikawa is the OG.

One thing I have to point out though is that the mix in this album’s version is slightly different than the one in the narrative/NOISEofRAIN single, specifically the start of the first verse where there’s two synths that are either made really quiet or missing. Yeah, I’ve listened to this track way too much in order to notice the smallest things like that..

OUTRAGERS DRIVE ME NUTS

07. Binary Star (vocal: Uru)

This is the one older [nZk] song I can’t put my feelings into words for. I really like Uru’s voice and I hope Sawano collaborates with her again in the future, but the song itself is just... strange. Specifically the instrumental. It’s just really weird, having the strings and piano portion at first and then adding drums later on. I just don’t know what to think. I definitely don’t dislike it and I do enjoy it but that’s it. I actually really need to listen to it more often... 

You know what, Binary Star is really nice.

08. ME & CREED <nZkv> (vocal: Sayuri)

Okay... so... uhm. I guess this is it. This is the track. I’ve made fun of this song a lot back when we only had PVs to go on. I called it a lot of things and overall shared the server’s opinion that it’s not that great. But you know what? I listened to it once today, in the full album. Just once, didn’t really need to listen anymore to open my eyes.

By the way, little fun fact: It’s actually spelled Me & Creed in the original Blue Exorcist OST, or I guess if you want the full name.. “Exorcist Concerto First Movement”... something like that, don’t !songtitle me... but yeah I’m just delaying the inevitable here.

So, I have finally been able to have a fresh, reformed opinion on ME & CREED <nZkv> and express my true feelings. Because, well, the truth is...

...

It still fucking sucks.

Honestly... just.. why? First of all, out of all of the “High Pitched Jpop Vocalists That Do Not Match Sawano’s Composition Style” category members, Sayuri is by far the worst. And, you know, that might just be be for not preferring this kind of voice that a lot of Japanese singers, but I’ve listened to some of Sayuri’s own stuff and it’s not bad because the SONG ACTUALLY FITS HER VOICE.

Now, despite all of this the verse is alright. The chorus is where the harmonies really get out of hand and only make the already bad vocals worse. And it wouldn’t have been as jarring if the instrumental was decent but it’s not. Me & Creed is not at all the type of song that would benefit from overly punchy kick drums and toms and it loses its entire flavor just with the drums alone. It sounds like a below-average pre-rec demo of the original track and doesn’t even respect what kind of song the original is.

Also, this is made for a mobile game. I don’t know about you but if this was in a game as its main theme that would not give me a good impression.

Fun fact, this is the only track on the entire album that is under 4 minutes long. I guess you can say it came short in multiple departments. I give it an Aldnoah Zero out of 10.

09. Unti-L (vocal: ASCA)

After the traumatizing experience that is the previous track, I come to something that is actually good. Unti-L and never gonna change are my favorite new tracks from this album. I’ve been looking forward to this one since the first 5 second PV and I’ve been listening to the short version a lot for the past week. The song is incredible. 6/8 time signature, ballad-y sound, strings and good sound design in general makes for a solid and near flawless track. ASCA’s voice is very enjoyable and I find that it works well with the song since it was probably made with her vocals in mind unlike narrative and... the other thing.

I can’t really say much else, really. Great intro, verse, vocals, melody and overall sound. The instrumental break/bridge is also very pleasant with the simple guitar. Probably the most emotionally impacting track on the album and I love it.

10. Cage (vocal: Tielle)

The original Cage is interesting but I have to say I find it inferior to the <NTv> version from the narrative/NOISEofRAIN single. I’m not the biggest fan of the synth in the intro and the electronic drums don’t quite do it for me in terms of the overall sound. The <NTv> version is still superior in every way and has fits more with the melody and Tielle’s voice. Overall though, the composition is great but you can’t really look at the instrumental alone in both cases since Tielle’s voice makes the track what it is.

11. REMEMBER (vocal: mizuki, Gemie, Tielle, naNami, Yosh)

Should have just credited it as [nZchoir]. 

On a serious note, this sounds like something you would hear in a Disney Channel movie, especially the chorus. The track is surprisingly pleasant to listen to and I find it really catchy and easy to jam and sing along to. Also like the parts where there’s just one vocalist singing and the choir effect in the chorus is really nice as well. Again.. Disney movie.

I actually want to say more about this track but I definitely need to listen to it a bit more to make other comments. Other than that, it’s nice.

Conclusion

As a whole, this seems like a much more fresh album than 2V-ALK. It still doesn’t compare to the diversity and variety in o1 or how solid UnChild is, but I still think it’s at least on par with 2V-ALK despite not having all that many songs. Still, the new original tracks here (well, almost all of them) are interesting and despite my comments on some of them I do think they do their thing and make the album.. work, I guess. I definitely have some tracks I want to go back and relisten to a few of them though, which is a good sign.

I don’t have individual ratings for the tracks but in terms of ranking, a few hours after my first impressions and a few listens I would order them in the following fashion. The best is at the top and the worst is at the bottom.

A song that makes you want to dance

Dance Around the World

There’s nearly an endless well of Eurobeat tracks from the Initial D song library I could’ve chose for this question, but the first one I thought of was Dance Around the World. As soon as you play this track, the relentless tempo takes your body hostage, commanding you to rise to your feet, and igniting your blood like gasoline inside a car’s engine. Be forewarned...listening to this track while you’re driving may get you a speeding ticket because as we all know, listening to Eurobeat adds at least 50 more horsepower to your engine! 

A song that is a cover by another artist

Fly Like an Eagle

I mean no disrespect to the original artists who wrote the lyrics and composed this track, but Seal’s cover of Fly Like an Eagle is far and away the superior version. Seal’s powerful, velvety voice coupled with the gospel/r&b inspired arrangement of the song turns this song into a religious experience. If the weightless sensation of flight had a musical equivalent, this would be it. When you close your eyes listening to this, you can practically feel the wind hitting your face at snap-neck speed.

A song by a band you wish were still together

The Best Thing

There were a tonne of pop groups in the 90′s all vying for the top spot on the charts, composing infectious, upbeat, pixie dust songs about love, but the group I thought who performed them the most sincerely were Savage Garden. Their lyrics were unconventional, and like a well brewed cup of tea, were steeped in pure, emotional honesty. Their song, The Best Thing, beautifully recreates the first rush of adrenaline when you get when you meet someone and fall head over heels for them every single time you listen to it. 

A song by an artist with a voice that you love

I Don’t Have Anything

And now, for the opposite end of the spectrum. If you’re in the mood for some deep, introspective songs about the crushing loneliness of lost love, look no further, because I’ve got the band for you. VAST, led by front man, Jon Crosby. His sorrow filled voice singing about lost love will cut right to the marrow of your bones, but his haunting tone sweetens the bitter in your mouth. In that category, I Don’t Have Anything is a standout track. The string instruments complement his voice perfectly.

tvxq were one thing when they were five and they were another thing when they became two. and i'm telling you right now this song alone is proof enough that 2vxq are superior to the original lineup in every possible way. this is what this group were always meant to be

before u go..... before u go is a song that could literally be taken straight from the boyz ii men vault of r&b panty dropper jams. i'm not sure SM has ever been able to make such a perfect r&b song again. and that comes from a company known for its great mastery of that genre

the instrumental is exquisite - from the strings to the piano to the amazing syncopated beat. but the star of the song is the vocals. this arrangement is incredible showstopping amazing brilliant etc. changmin pulls it off perfectly as expected but yunho is NOT left behind. man they just don't make vocalists like the 2nd gen anymore.

BEST OF 2017: SONGS OF THE YEAR (PART 3)

This year’s SONGS OF THE YEAR list is compiled of tasty tracks from albums that didn’t make the TOP TEN Albums cut, press play & enjoy….

THE HORRORS

“SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ME BY”

WOLFTONE  /CAROLINE

 THE HORRORS have finally embraced full on 80′s Pop and may have written their greatest song ever as “SOMETHING TO REMEMBER ME BY” is here to brighten your day and restore your True Faith.

While the group have always had a dancefloor vibe, even when hidden under Goth Rock anthems or Britpop by way of Ride dalliances, “Something To Remember Me By” is a true exercise in dance-ready delight. Simply put, this is the moment where the Essex born quintet merge the heyday of Reagan Era New Romance with Cut Copy-like bliss-pop.

The epic 6:30 track is a step in a whole new direction for the group, one aided by Paul Epworth’s production, as this thing’s a candy coated beast. The rousing howl of singer Faris Badwan has been replaced by something a little more straightforward, somewhere between a soothing whisper & euphoric plea, that floats above the propulsive New Order-esque arrangement (and good luck trying to get the sticky refrain of “something to remember me by” out of your mealy mind)…..

KEEP

“WELCOME TO”

CITRUS CITY RECORDS 

 “WELCOME TO” is a dour piece of guitar laden post-punk courtesy of KEEP.

The Virginia based duo call on some of the darker elements of guitar rock, from shoegaze & goth, to 90′s Alternative on their latest LP ‘For Your Joy.’ While the band’s prior offering would’ve sounded right at home alongside emo-gazers like Nothing, “Welcome To” finds Keep embracing the bigger Alt and Goth sounds of contemporaries like Creative Adult and Fearing.

“Welcome To” shows a group unafraid to bring healthy doses of noise to their gothier moments, with big six-string distortion competing with icy synths for your attention. Dreary vocals giving way to gorgeous harmonies atop crushing instrumentation….

THE KILLERS

“WONDERFUL WONDERFUL”

ISLAND

 Yes, you read that right, how’s that for contrarian!

Look, I understand all the hate and vitriol for THE KILLERS. That being said, “WONDERFUL WONDERFUL” is a fantastic song, sorry but not fucking sorry.  

This is the Las Vegas boys being “out there” and downright experimental in their own weird way, and by experimental I simply mean its quite different than what they’ve been up to the past few years and quite frankly, it’s good. I’ve always had a soft spot for The Killers, and if people are literally going to try and convince me that Drake, Beyonce, or any other shite 90′s indebted R&B is legitimately good, then I can do same for The Killers. 

That being said, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that their new album is good, what I am going to tell you is that the 90’s era U2 / Depeche Mode trip that “Wonderful Wonderful” is on is well, wonderful. The synthetic strings, the menacing bass, the huge chorus, and the fact that frontman Brandon Flowers manages to not be overtly corny across a solid 5 minutes is a huge win.

If I had played this for you without saying who it was, I can almost guarantee you you’d either say it was decent or OK and you’d definitely have to agree that it’s far superior to anything Moz has shat out this year. In fact I actually tried this experiment on a buddy of mine and he had no fucking clue who it was, he just bobbed his head…..

KING WOMAN

“HIEROPHANT”

RELAPSE

 KING WOMAN, the Bay Area based doom merchants, finally unleashed their debut LP ‘Created in the Image of Suffering’ and we’re all better off now.

Created and lead by vocalist Kristina Esfandiari (rounded out by guitarist Colin Gallagher, drummer Joey Raygoza, and bassist Peter Arensdorf) King Woman marry the dusky stylings of Mazzy Star and doom metal, resulting in a heavy shoegaze (or oft-cited stoner-gaze) feel. After a few EPs, most notably 2015′s ‘Doubt’, the project’s profile began to rise, which lead to signing with Relapse Records and enlisting a top-shelf producer in Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker).

“HIEROPHANT” is truly the album’s centerpiece, built around 8 magnificent minutes of slowcore doom. Heartbreakingly beautiful, the track reaches heights that are impossible to reach or maintain across an entire album, which takes nothing away from the other 6 songs and merely illustrates how powerful the track really is. Starting off in a slog, before giving way to the best thing King Woman has been penned. 

Every distorted chord, ping of the ride, ringing string, and echoed syllable is draped in haunting clarity. Esfandiari unleashes a haunting refrain of “If you’re a holy church, I wanna worship…..If you’re a sacred script, I am the Hierophant.” The time stopping breakdown only pulls your further down before spitting you back out amongst mounting instrumental doom….

LEA PORCELAIN

“A FARAWAY LAND”

LEA PORCELAIN RECORDINGS

 The German post-punk duo LEA PORCELAIN are here to do-you-in with the dreamy and moving “A FARAWAY LAND.”

The duo aim to bring you something different as they settle into a throbbing and romantically goth-tinged banger. The overall sound of “A Faraway Land” is very cinematic and grand in scale, with Markus Nikolaus’ vocals elegantly soaring above the proceedings (as well as driving a forceful melody over the verse), yet the execution is built upon little intricacies like the Bernard Sumner like guitar splashes. 

Lea Porcelain are operating in some serious New Order meets Tears For Fears territory here, while carving out their own niche and anyone who doesn’t need some of that in their life is no friend of mine…..

Covid Sitayana

Ramayana was an epic scale epic. Since we did not have the bandwidth for more than one Ramayana or Mahabharata - we decided to ensure another Ramayana never happens. 

So every other potential Sita was trained - a clear Line drawn - stand inside, well within the line. 

“How many times should i tell you! Stay inside”

Sita - “but the cow…”

“What cow? No cow! Stay inside. Always remember the line. Everything outside is Ravana.”

Notes on Kalari -- Dr. Priyadarshan Lal

Warm body- warm up

Being able to stand on two feet requires great balance. Not any other mammals other than humans - who start erect. Core- balance ( like cycle/swimming)

Drawing associations of etymology. Letter of Tamil are distinguished as.

Mei-ezhuthu-  Consonants. Mei --> Body

Uyir-ezhuthu - Vowels. Uyir-->Breath

---> Mei- payattu

8 types of postures:

Lion - cross legged and paw connect. Cross core

Elephant - simultaneous movements of the side. All of left shifts. Then all of right shifts.Strength.

Fish - turn. Flash turn.

Kukkuda/ rooster - flutter up and land

Horse straight

Boar -stright. lift.

Snake

Cat

All the postures appear in the meippayattu, obviously or subtly.

(*noticing how barteniff similarly constructed fundamentals based on evolutionary stages of embryo. In my experince so far, the manipulation of the jelly like that is strong and flexible and can contort and expand and realign etc, in connection with the breath, creates a posture if extended to the extremeties)

(pic courtesy: https://www.leisurepro.com/blog/explore-the-blue/5-harmless-species-jellyfish/) 

___

Empty handed combat. Win over the enemy without fighting. (*love and empathy)

___

Adhara chakra

(*he didnt elaborate, but from the adishakti workshop of many years ago i remember that each posture has an associated chakra basis. Maybe the movement originates or is held or passed through that particular chakra. Im yet to experience it. For fish and horse and elephant maybe i sense it, but i cant be sure)

___

I feel close to being done writing about myself. And my vantage at this point. I feel it would be nice to explore a subject in writing.

Like kalari. And where kalari meets ramana. Not scholarly sense, but for me. So that i can discover for myself the connections i have made. And the questions and blind spots are clearer to me. 

Looking at a dance journal called FUSE, i caught a glimpse of the dancer’s notes...the notes, the scores, seemed closer to my way of enquiring. Scores. Questions. Frames of observation.

What of the archetypes and narratives and characters? 

“We’ll isn't it interesting, that as well as you know your characters and the relationships between them, you aret compelled by dialogues - what they say to each other seems to be of no import to you.” 

 Yes. I cant seem to care much for dialogues insipte of all that auditory hallucinations. 

I feel - The dialogues are not spoken. They are actions. And in the body, their very being itself there is something alive and exchanging and transforming. SOmething that doesn't lean on words to do preliminary negotiations. Something that is, and goes in, and is being from the very start all they way.  Like mom keeps saying, actions speak louder than words.

Yes. And in their moving around and relating back and forth to the space and movements and changing landscape of their emotions/memories/ etc… changes takes place… in ascertain  kind of quietness. Cant call it silence.  Or in a certain kind of silence. Cant call it quietness. Or is it a certain kind of silence. 

But dialogues have no place there. Expect as inner soliloquies. May be as monologues. When it comes to rapid energy exchange, it physical. Not words.  Because words are diversions at best.

Most of the time. They appear when there is no choice, but to speak. And then  the words appear, and they appear crystal clear, to illuminate, to clarify. Not to veil and hide.

Form is created by tension. Last night i was watching the mind. Or rather something was watching the mind. And i was in the mind trapped in its incessant chatter and looking from outside. The incessant chatter seemed to originate from a tension at the base of the skull. From something taut, like a string of a musical instrument. Though not wholly a pleasant feeling. 

In this tension, between this points of tension space is created and form appears. A is the tension between the two slanting lines whose base is pulled apart and wedged by a shot line. Form. Uyirzhuthu. K is the inclined upward and inclined downward push, directed to a particular single point on the vertical line.

Not sure if i would have been able to finally get a sense of the symbols used to denote english alphabets, if wasnt for my conversation with DK, aka Quirky.

Me: wait... i have more technical question ...how do you remember what you did on the floor?

and when does meaning emerge?

He: It's all in the flow

And it's the experience and the environment that the movement create that in turn gives the watching person to make meaning

Technically it's all about the flow and muscles memory

Me: but what of the mover? where is he/she finding meaning?

or is the meaning purely an experience of spatial truth?

He: Meaning is subjective isn't it

Me: yuss

He: It's like the color red and the redness of the read. Red

I guess redness of the red is what I am interested

Not what meanings people associated red with

Of course one can use association of the red to creat an emotion or mood but as a core the ness ness of something is the research

Me: do you at any point at all, as a mover dancer, remember being interested in what meanings people associated with red? or was it always about redness of red?

He: When is create it all about the Ness nesss but ofcourse once the composition and presentation of the idea start I do play with association of the given ideas or objects to create tention. 

But I also know if I considered the association I am closing a lot of other posibal reading

It's a balancing act

Me: mmmm

He: If I address the association more often them not I will be taking stands and sides

Which may be use full for certain works

But as a for being true to the work I find it enriching to look for the nessness of the idea

Me: Ness-ness is nice. very nice. i supoose it the most neutral position available to you while fully innit - if i must intellectualise. but ya... when i was asking you, how do you rember, i was coming from a simplistic space of notaton and mnenomics. but this redness of red gives me a btter answer tothe unasked question.

He: I don't remember I am not wired like that

Dicklessli. Lol

Its all in the flow and muscle memory

And ofcourse repetition

Me: relieff

just came acrosss this https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/read/63113284/fuse1

He: The useal lol . Gay and tamil mami

Lol. I know of the person who runs this project

Me: trust you to massacre! Nut!

___

I dint quite understand what he meant by this “ He: When is create it all about the Ness nesss but ofcourse once the composition and presentation of the idea start I do play with association of the given ideas or objects to create tention. “ yesterday.  This idea of creating tension using associations etc for the compositions and presentations and sharing… the point of outer reflection and feedback from the larger whole , as mirror.  Like R says, “only when the play meets the audience does it become a play”, audience provides that vital energy - that space- witness. ANd thats when the possibilities of the play star unfolding. 

What of traditional performers such as koodiyattam then? For whom the lamp is the only witness?

Also https://www.brainpickings.org/2015/07/06/the-aesthetic-of-silence-susan-sontag/

“Art is a technique for focusing attention, for teaching skills of attention… Once the artist’s task seemed to be simply that of opening up new areas and objects of attention. That task is still acknowledged, but it has become problematic. The very faculty of attention has come into question, and been subjected to more rigorous standards…

Perhaps the quality of the attention one brings to bear on something will be better (less contaminated, less distracted), the less one is offered. Furnished with impoverished art, purged by silence, one might then be able to begin to transcend the frustrating selectivity of attention, with its inevitable distortions of experience. Ideally, one should be able to pay attention to everything.”

“So far as he is serious, the artist is continually tempted to sever the dialogue he has with an audience. Silence is the furthest extension of that reluctance to communicate, that ambivalence about making contact with the audience… Silence is the artist’s ultimate other-worldly gesture: by silence, he frees himself from servile bondage to the world, which appears as patron, client, consumer, antagonist, arbiter, and distorter of his work.”

Both of which i resonate with to whatever degree of my experience  has been. This struggle of audience. And a certain withdrawal and dismissal and a sense of pursuit of something much larger than popularity or appreciation of peers. Which is questioned very starkly here by Sontag like a slap on the hand

“

Sontag recognizes that the gesture of silence in abdication from society is still “a highly social gesture.” She writes:

An exemplary decision of this sort can be made only after the artist has demonstrated that he possesses genius and exercised that genius authoritatively. Once he has surpassed his peers by the standards which he acknowledges, his pride has only one place left to go. For, to be a victim of the craving for silence is to be, in still a further sense, superior to everyone else. It suggests that the artist has had the wit to ask more questions than other people, and that he possesses stronger nerves and higher standards of excellence.”

Is that why i am still around. Hanging on nail and tooth. Because i havent proved myself in this world. That the way to Griffindor is through the corridors of Slytherine?

Ramana says, not necessary. 

Kalari says, if necessary, come to the pit.

Eitherways, the presence and absence of a living fluid core makes a difference to the experience and perception of reality and the energy to keep observing past its frames. So i show up the pit everyday. One way or the other.

Valentine’s Day Album Review

Those who were expecting a rap heavy album from the Goddess of Rap were justifiably upset when Skyler Valentine-Griffin’s “Valentine’s Day” dropped on February 14th.’Valentine’s Day’ over all has a pop and R&B feel, with only a few rap tracks sprinkled in. Skyler has been known to experiment with her music and sound before, however it doesn’t seem like we were ready for a complete change like the one she just did. The album is likely to be equally divisive, and often seemed more like a low-key mixtape than of the most-anticipated records of 2020. Still, there are moments of brilliance, which we’ll explore in a track-by-track review.

1.‘Feeling Myself’ feat. Maya Karim

 Like a great opera or short play, "Feeling Myself" has a beginning, a middle, and an end. First, there's tough Skyler, who delivers masturbation puns and an indictment of competitors who aren't even in her tax bracket, all in the same sentence. And then there's sassy Skyler, who boasts about sexual prowess while still flexing on her rivals: "Bitches ain't got punchlines or flow/ I have both, and an empire, also." Softening out the flex heavy song, Maya becomes a mediator between Sky’s personality shifts, cooing out a sultry hook that keeps the vibe soft seductive and smooth. The track is playful and fun, while also keeping in style with the Rap Goddess that we all know and love. If the rest of the album followed this style, it would probably have been better received by the fans and critics

2. ‘Never Ending’

In what seems like it came out of no where, an acoustic guitar ballad that could have been sung by almost anyone in the last decade comes next. It does feature the affecting line “I knew your face once but now it’s unclear” and the song isn’t bad but it sits quite uncomfortably as the next track following ‘Feeling Myself’.

 3.’If It’s Loving That You Want’

This one was a vast improvement from ‘Never Ending’, and it’s R&B style plays well to connoting a summer-esque theme when you hear it. Skyler’s vocal ability in the song is average, although she does have some shining moments, overall, the song has simple, pleasant vocals, but her voice sounds too light and thin at times. The composition of the track that really makes it stand out, and it is  pleasurable to the ear.

4.’That La,La, La’

In what sounds like a clap back at the media for the headlines about Blaize’s infidelity and any other ladies who are wanting to take their shot at him, Skyler croons ‘What me and he have got is solid as a rock, so take your shot/Don't even waste your time/'Cause a love like ours is hard to find.’. It appears to hit its target, but overall the song is repetitive and sounds too much like the baseless music that has flooded our airwaves over the years. It’s forgettable.

5.’Crazy Little Thing Called Love’

In ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’ Skyler explores never having felt this type of love in her life and she can’t even express the exactness of it to her fellow friends. She’s so in love that it makes her do and feel the craziest, when it’s never been something she’d do. We can guess that this song was written about her husband, Blaize Griffin and their marriage as it reportedly wasn’t supported by that many people originally. Over all, it’s average as a song, but the lyrics are nice.

6.’Selfish Girl’

Skyler throws us back to a pre marriage and baby time when her and Blaize kept us all on our toes with their on and off again relationship while still managing to show us all yet again that they were end game, after all. It’s a cute song, and she has some nice vocals in it.

7. ‘Hate That I Love You’

This R&B song comes out smooth like butter and leaving tingles down our backs. Skyler delivered a catchy, breezy duet. It really shows off the vocals that Sky is capable of, despite the lack of them displayed on this album thus far.

8. ‘ Sell Me Candy’

“Sell Me Candy" features jumbled and noisy production with chaotic beats. I don’t know what she was thinking with this one, but it’s a definite flop.

9. ‘Rehab’

With its pillowy acoustic guitars and strings and rattling percussion, "Rehab" is definitely one of the favorite’s from this album. Skyler’s vocals are warm and smooth, while also being hauntingly beautiful.

10. ‘Question Existing’

‘Question Existing’ instantly conveys an eerie, smoky, destitute, emotional, and a sonic sidestep from the Skyler we all know and love. To hear from a softer, more personal side from the Rap Goddess who frequently boasts her superiority to her competitors is a shocking change, but she pulls it off well.

11. ‘iPhone’ Feat. King

King and Skyler Valentine-Griffin have proved that they  work very well together over the years. "iPHONE," is an infectious hit that will undoubtedly be in heavy rotation for the rest of the year. King and  Sky rap about their side pieces, and opt to place their side dish over the love of their main. King lays down a truly catchy chorus, a talent that he has exhibited in the past, and also gives fans a comical yet realistic verse, and Skyler comes through for the second verse and employs a rapid flow to illustrate her love life. Sky sounds more like her old self than almost anywhere else on this album, with the exception of ‘Feeling Myself’ and ‘Yikes’,which is welcoming to hear. This collaboration works very well. It's rare that a hip-hop song finds strength in both the lyrics and the instrumental in 2020, but it delivers both immaculately.  

12. ‘Yikes’

Skyler asserts that despite this different style, she is still the Queen of Rap as she fires jabs at her haters. The song is catchy, and we wish we would have heard more like it on the album.

Overall, we give the album a 3/5,  but it’s only mediocre, and kind of a let down from what we were all expecting from the talented Skyler.

Genres in music are like branches of a tree.

A 12 months later, Memphis†Three 6 Mafia released its eerie, lo-fi debut Mystic Stylez, www.audio-transcoder.com a druggy exploration of 35mm, oversaturated haunted-home music. ItвЂs an album of just about ambient violence, its warbling synths a pink fog that creeps in from underneath your door and subtly normalizes its lyrical malevolence, like the gradually reworking worlds of JacobвЂs Ladder or Silent Hill.

RED VELVET - PSYCHO

[6.18]

You drive me crazy...

Ryo Miyauchi: Mania as portrayed in "Psycho" is too choreographed to feel like genuine anxiety or horror watching the crash-and-burn narrative unfold. It plays into what you'd expect from dark Red Velvet: goth brass pomp, orchestral plucks, vocal trills that show just enough crack in the otherwise pristine performance. The ease with which they summarize their experience with that titular hook doesn't help either. It's all too controlled for it to come off as the mess they try to make it out to be. [5]

Ashley Bardhan: I do kind of wish we were past the point of self-identifying as "psycho" because we're in love, but since I don't know Korean, I will assume this isn't "Sweet but Psycho" levels of egregious and let it slide. The synth loop sounds like a sugar-high waterfall, which I like, especially when it pours into that brassy, jump-roping chorus. It makes me think of people dancing in slow motion. Nothing too crazy about that. [7]

Jessica Doyle: For those delicate strings, the restrained singing, and the closing refrain that everything's going to be okay, "psycho" is the wrong word to repeat. (Pabo, which means "fool," might have been better.) I suspect the goal was to reach that sense of skewness that powered previous singles -- think the self-deprecating, amused depiction of infatuation in "Dumb Dumb" and "Rookie," or, more to the point here, the combination of menacing lyrics and early-video-game innocence of "Russian Roulette." But here the suggestion of a relationship gone dangerously out of control never quite convinces, and Red Velvet come across as less desperate than bored. [5]

Joshua Lu: I feel like I should be more excited about what's being heralded as a return to form for an excellent girl group with a middling 2019, but "Psycho" isn't nearly demented enough to match Red Velvet's peaks. A title like that coming from a group like this sets expectations of what kind of craziness is to come, but instead they deliver Ava Max levels of psychosis, with bland verses that are too neatly set and a chorus that's mushy and lethargic, with or without the music video version's added strings. Not even the lyrics are capable of adding any tension -- "Hey now, we'll be okay," they chant, but I'm left wishing otherwise in the off-chance that some turmoil leads to something more interesting. [4]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: The music video version is superior: the strings, alluring for their dizzying intensity, add flair to the prim arrangement. Still, the song's chorus isn't quite complete; it could use some affected vocalizing or a catchier hook or some flashy pyrotechnics -- anything to break Red Velvet free from their stuffiest single to date. Still, this sense of suffocation is apt: a reflection of how trapped they must feel in wrestling with (the optics of) a not-so-"romantic" relationship. [7]

Michael Hong: Typically in modern media, when a woman is portrayed as a "psycho," portrayals shift between two phases: 1) the cool, even-tempered women, one who appears to be completely accommodating to the whims of the characters around her; and 2) the unstable woman, prone to random acts of aggression and manipulation, and a general lack of control. Red Velvet's "Psycho" is fixated on that first phase with the instrumental tamped down to a chillingly placid state. Wendy and Seulgi's falsettos adorn the strings and arpeggiating synths with the grace of a tightrope act, but it's the breathless "psycho" that gives "Psycho" a hint of menace. Even the rap, despite Irene bragging that she's "original visual," lacks any surprise and feels relatively tame, even after the bland "Umpah Umpah." The tension is dramatic, but "Psycho" still leaves me yearning for Red Velvet to completely lose it. [7]

Alex Clifton: Red Velvet have now written the quintessential K-pop song about being in love with your straight best friend. It's less experimental than some of their other material, which is disappointing, as I love the wonky moments in Red Velvet's discography where the melody takes an unexpected turn and surprises me. It is, however, super-gay, and I am here for that. [6]

Brad Shoup: When I saw the news that an English version of "Psycho" did not, in fact, make the Birds of Prey soundtrack, my first thought was I guess they already had an Ariana Grande song. This is good Grande-core, sure: the major-label orchestral arrangement woven into the processional click-and-pause R&B. The title is almost incidental, or perhaps refers to the level of detail. [7]

Alfred Soto: The chorus builds to a convincing rattle and blare: the sticky-sweet vs sour dynamic Red Velvet has often handled with aplomb. [7]

Will Rivitz: A few years ago, Red Velvet became my favorite K-pop group thanks to their deeply compelling uncanniness: Their eerie, off-mainstream electronic influences (I maintain that "Peek-A-Boo" remains the best song Murlo never produced; ditto "Zimzalabim" and SOPHIE) consistently speak to me like no other K-pop I've heard has. "Psycho," by contrast, draws its intro from Julia Michaels, its verses from OneRepublic, and its chorus from every electronic-friendly pop singer in 2017. Interchangeable pop from a group I love dearly for their iconoclasm. [5]

Thomas Inskeep: The nearly-classical, stately pace, the surprising oompah horns on the chorus, the swirling keyboards on the verses, the strong vocals: Red Velvet is at the top of their game right now, ladies and gents. "Psycho" is one of those records that sounds like 4 or 5 different songs at once, and gets all of them right, and knows how to blend them. [8]
