I prefer to think of it as TS swooping in at the end of the year to put a stop to Ed Sheeren's year of madness. There's a key difference between the two artists: I can easily avoid Ed Sheeren. TSwizz is inescapable, which is ok with me because she is a national treasure.
I think he was responsible for giving the songs those melody lines that were independent of the lyrical melody. Since his departure we get rhythms and mood, but the melodies are entirely driven by the vocal. If you sat at a keyboard and tried to play 'Just Can't Get Enough' or 'Never Let Me Down Again,' you wouldn't play the vocal melody. That's what's missing for the past 20 years, IMO.
Me too. Not only is it cheesy af, but it was better when it was "let me hear you
make decisions/without your television" 31 years ago.
The song is corny and lethargic, although I'm feeling the instrumentation. I wish Alan Wilder were around to give the instruments some melody.
Trivia: Spirit will come out 31 years to the day after Black Celebration.
In this instance, I think Solange misread her surroundings. Kraftwerk tour as a high-art exhibit, not a dance act. The venue in New Orleans (seats should be a clue) is where you go to see the symphony, classically-trained Society of Performing Arts-type shows. I don't think race is the factor here, just a misunderstanding of the event's decorum.
As someone who's new to this performer, can anyone tell me what's powerful about this performance? Is it because he had an ending? I don't feel like I experienced "a moment," and so I'm curious what the author is talking about.
