I love how she is just starting to really come into her own and hit peak in her mid-late 30s. Thats inspiring to me. Its never too late. Of course she was doing stuff before, but ever since 2016 she pushed the Yasss-Button and establishes herself as one of the greats.
you know how people say freddie mercury had some physiological advantage that made him such a spectacular singer (my memory is that he could do vibrato better than most and his range was better than most which is where this theory comes from). well this is how i feel about caroline's mastery of her voice. like there's an inhuman advantage, really incredible to listen to. the next stage of human evolution
@@RhythmAddictedState she does yodel but even when shes not yodelling her voice is incredibly smooth and she can go up and down the riffs really well. tho i dont listen to a lot of professional yodellers so maybe they do all sound like that
@@brittanyearl8298 I listen to a lot of yodellers and I yodel myself. Anyone with good pitch and decent breath control can learn how to. In yodelling, one uses the passagio between chest voice and head voice (the "crack" or voice break), which EVERYBODY has. I'm not trying to discredit Caroline, but what I'm trying to say is that people yodel NOT because they have some physiological advantage. Literally everyone has a voice crack. The reason why people find yodelling "extreme" or "extraordinary" is because most people find it unusual as they don't listen to a lot of it, if any at all. It's all a matter of acceptance, really. In Western modern and classical music, making your passagio sound obvious isn't deemed "acceptable", so we don't hear a lot of it in general, but in other musical traditions, it's acceptable. And although most Western singers try to hide it, the voice crack is still heard everywhere, but in a more subtle way (Rihanna uses it for dramatic effect, for instance). Sorry for the long paragraph. My point is that with some training and some courage, anyone with good pitch can yodel and record it in a song, just like with "normal" Western pop or R&B singing.
@@RhythmAddictedState this is all really interesting thank you for taking the time to inform 😊 even when shes not yodeling though her voice does sound special to me (hard to tell what's post production though), but a good example of what I mean is her oooOOOoos from sunset- not yodeling, just a pure and well controlled sound
Major Kate Bush vibes for me, which is a huge compliment. A true artist, operating on the edges of pop doing her own interesting, elfin-like, fantasy-and-sci-fi-influenced music with lots of interesting visuals, costumes and movement.
I don't know much about Kate Bush's discography but I grew up listening to her music as she's one of the only pop artists my father would listen to and I definitely agree. I also recently discovered about Imogen Heap and her early band Frou Frou and she's the most similar-sounding artist to Caroline I've found so far.
I can't begin to explain how much her music has ment to me. I never grew up in a music house hold and chairlift was the first ever band I ever got into and learned their discography and heated them from Romeo on nba2k16 sound track. And pretty much she has been the only artist I ever really listened to religiously. I got to see her live in March 2022 in Saint Louis and it was the second greatest moment of my life only second to the birth of my son. I was front row and she looked right at me! Moment I could never forget, I'm glad she's getting the reconituon she greatly deserves. I have every chairlift album and all her albums, plus billions signed and her new album preordered.
Wow. i remember really enjoying Romeo on 2k as well but forgetting about it when the games cycle ended. i got back into Caroline’s stuff around 2021 and It was only then when I realized i’ve always been a fan of hers without even knowing! Ever since then I’ve seen her at Lollapalooza and I’m trying to get tickets to the spiraling tour if the price is right. cant wait for the album
she gives a lot of insightful information on Charli's Best Song Ever podcast. She was actually trained as an opera singer for many years, and she even released an aria from a new Royal Opera House piece along with Sunset that really shows off her skills ;)
I heard the chairlift song ‘I belong in your arms’ in heartstopper and fell in love with it, and then found out it was Caroline’s band! I had no idea she had such a big history in music. Love her.
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm going to Paris for a family trip this week and, if caroline was touring in London this week, I figured she would be in Paris around the same time- hadn't even thought to check earlier. Got my ticket and am so excited! Thanks!
It’s always had its moments…people just act like hyper pop is legit because of fashion magazines who work with the largest record label in the world (Sony)…y’all drinking kool aid with pedialyte
You lost me a few seconds in with "corporate friendly indie pop". That Chairlift album was important for me !!! a breath of fresh air at the time. Anyway, she is such a talented, dynamic gem of an artist. Bless.
Yeah, what a weird way to describe Chairlift. Nothing about them was corporate aside from the Apple commercial that they didn't exactly lobby for. I saw them on every tour from their first album onward, and they didn't exactly draw massive crowds.
i wish i could go back to the first time i heard the chorus of so hot you're hurting my feelings on tiktok in 2021. it was my absolute first experience with caroline's voice and music and i've been obsessed ever since, i get chills and tingles EVERY SINGLE TIME
She's EXTREMELY talented and has such a command of her voice that it borders on unreal. Has anyone stopped to consider how much of Imogen Heap stuff she's been listening to, though? That vocal manner and some of the visuals sometimes seem like lifted straight off "Speak for Yourself" or "Ellipse" : )
She’s highly creative and I lover her style the way she uses her voice to as it’s own instrument and melody reminds me so much of the late Dolores O’Riordan
Caroline, yassification and persona music. I’m sold! I’d love an expanded more in depth version of this video, but this is a nice summarized gist of everything!
Chairlift started like any other Myspace band back in the day, they co-rented their apartment AND studio with MGMT. it took some time for the Bruised-iPod ad. Then, aaron leaving the band, her working with Jorge Elbrecht in tons of collaborations while working on Something… and then the Ramona Lisa project which was extremely important and spearheaded her solo career :) about Pang, she starred touring the second the album came out so from October to Feb 2020 she was able to tour a bit (and even perform some new material), snd then during the pandemic she did a LOT of virtual shows where she performed one time covers and stripped down versions of her music@@beantherapy
Finally some good channel talking about really important things! Caroline is Mother, period. She's on another and own level and deserves all the appreciation in the world.
This was good, I'd heard So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings before and it was nice but didn't really catch my attention, but I saw Charli's remix to Welcome To My Island a couple weeks ago and checked the original out and i was just fascinated with everything. I've since then listened to Pang and it's incredible, Hit Me Where It Hurts just captivates me, i had it on repeat for a while last week it's so good. I'm so excited for the new album, i've been listening to the new tracks basically every morning and they're all so good. Also the horse girl thing does explain her aesthetics a bit lol, a lot of leather indeed hahaha Also if you could link the interviews and the performances you use in the video and all that before or after the videogame soundtracks it would be helpful, i've found a couple thru the tags but not everything
The new album is great. But for me, the real standout is the song Billions.....which she released this time last year, and is the last track on Desire. Billions is SO good. It's an alt pop masterpiece....period.
I got to experience her live for the first time on the Dua Lipa tour and she was amazing. I first heard her on Charlie xcx new shapes and loved her voice/writing
Thank you for this very interesting video. Yes, "Desire, I Want to Turn into You" has been out for one week and, well, I'm pretty much obsessed now. It's a crown of shiny pearls. It's being acclaimed by music critics and rightly so.
I love your use of VGM here. There's a definitely a video game vibe in Caroline's music, some of it feels like it would fit perfectly in 00's Final Fantasy.
I went to see her live yesterday in Paris and this video showed up on my feed. Her voice is just otherworldly, it was a fantastic experience. Also, she spoke french throughout which for the french people was an amazing surprise haha it was cool to see their enthusiasm
I met her at Thalia hall after waiting for her after the concert and she took photos with me and was the sweetest. Her energy was truly indescribable and comforting.
I just don't agree with you calling the first album corporate-friendly. Besides the two singles, this is the most left field sound they probably ever had.
She’s honestly incredible, I can’t even put it into words. Wayyy too underrated, she’s the future of indie/ electronic pop music, it’s awesome how she kept reinventing herself, yet no one seem to rly know her
Odd to refer to Does You Inspire You as "corporate indie" with songs entitled "Evident Utensil" and "Earwig Town" and utter bananas lyrics. Also, it's pronounced Caroliiiiine. Anyway, Chairlift is now legendary. One of the best band of the 10's. Caroline is wonderful.
Desire, I want to turn into you album just came out a day after my birthday I discovered her and love her music Her vocals are really angelicals, really gets to me and my ears She's so talented, I wish better things in her future PS: LOVED THE CATS GIFs AT THE END🩷
Enjoyed nearly everything about this video except for the extremely oversized VGM for the background music. Surely there are some indie chill beat folks that would let you use their music.
I first heard of Caroline when “So Hot You’re Hurting My Feelings” was trending on TikTok and she was also recommended on Spotify. She was my #1 on Spotify Wrapped last year because I had Pang on repeat. Her voice is incredibly captivating and she never fails to amaze me. I can’t wait to see what she does next because Desire, I Want to Turn Into You is everything I wished for 😊
Great work on Caroline (btw, her sister has one of my favorite music blogs of all time). I gotta mention, though, that persona 4 music selection was fire :)
@@beantherapy look for "listen to this" blog, by Jen Monroe. Ambient, leftfield pop, japanese new wave, new age, gold after gold. A great influence in my listening habits at the time
I am posting because a particular final reason and I am glad to say I loved this video cos this is what I have been talking to ppl about pop music, I love and follow her since I saw that trippy video clip around 15 years ago. It feels weird but joyful that the world is loving and recognizing her now (finally). Personally, my fav work at this time is Arcadia, it's incredible and so inspirational for me the atmospheres, record "techniques", choreos for every single track, and the references she took to do that Album. When I heard Pang I knew that would become the sound of a big part of pop actually music because was a step beyond mainstream hand in hand with hyperpop. My initial thoughts about D,IWtTIY are that she is positioning herself as an avant garde pop star but for me is not as organic as Pang. My love for Grimes is back and forth and I never had an interesting in Dido but how they gather their auras on Fly To You is just another proof of how Caroline is a Colab and producer master. So the final reason for this post is while hearing D,IWtTIY it reminds me in some moments of Persona's marvelous OST, and ... There you are using it at the end of this video. I am more than glad we share more than particular tastes.
I've been listening to Caroline since Chairlift, "Bruises" was a cute song but I really loved "I belong in your arms" and "Amanaemonesia" I also produce and have a musical ear so I can only hope other not mainstream artists will become appreciated at some point.
I came here to learn what yassification means... I still have no idea but I'm really glad that the live video where Caroline sings a duo with a goose in a public park was included. Definitely was a peak moment in her creative career.
I saw her live yesterday in Amsterdam, and it was an etherial experience. truly she was amazing, her live vocals were so fucking good, like obviusly we know she can sing but to acually hear that live , absolutly breathtaking. I felt like I was floating, being guided by her vocals and performance.....😳 cant wait to see her live agan in the future if she ever does another tour
i had the luck of catching the first show from the handful of 2019 gigs and it was so brilliant. small, intimate venue and incredible performance. ag cook dj'd after. strangely, beforehand was one of the weirder most stressful experiences i've had in an uber with a total rager driver so it was a huge contrast to the tea light lit ethereal show after.
great video, loved it. and absolutely love caroline, saw her live at primavera sound buenos aires last year! she cried during billions and i started crying like a baby too, life-changing experience!
i feel grateful EVERYday for being alive at the same century as caroline, since i discovered pang it literally changed my life, and now i cant see me alive without hearing her music
I love her and I’m so stoked for her new album which as of this writing, it will be released in an hour. I’m anticipating this will be one of the best albums of 2023 given how awesome all of the singles released so far (especially billions and blood and butter)
A few of my favorite things in life 1. Tiny digestible docs for the ultra busy 2. Tiny digestible docs on non mainstream extremely talented indie music artists 3. Music video Visuals 4. Mega man 5. Persona 5 6. Carolina Polachek This video has managed to incorporate all of these things. Perhaps the creator of this video and I are meant to be friends...jus saying.
Of the two, I don't know which warrants a bigger reaction on my part A. Discovering that Grimes had chosen and had been using the exact same avatar as me at the same time last year. Morgana (who WE both know is NOT A CAT!) Or B. Despite saving the track " Backwards and Upwards " into my "Likes" playlist on my premium youtube music subscription months & months back...had NO FREAKIN CLUE this was Carolina! (frankly I'm a little disappointed in myself) Thank you for the revelation kind sir...I'm going to go find the nearest mound of sand to bury my head in now. Good day!
I love how she is just starting to really come into her own and hit peak in her mid-late 30s. Thats inspiring to me. Its never too late. Of course she was doing stuff before, but ever since 2016 she pushed the Yasss-Button and establishes herself as one of the greats.

I've been listening to Caroline since Chairlift, "Bruises" was a cute song but I really loved "I belong in your arms" and "Amanaemonesia" I also produce and have a musical ear so I can only hope other not mainstream artists will become appreciated at some point.
RIP New York Noise.
I came here to learn what yassification means... I still have no idea but I'm really glad that the live video where Caroline sings a duo with a goose in a public park was included. Definitely was a peak moment in her creative career.
Loved her in Chairlift years ago and I'm loving her solo career and seeing her flourish!
She’s been my nonstop crush since Bruises, damn she’s really so damn hot it actually hurts my feelings. Amazing voice and music.
I saw her live yesterday in Amsterdam, and it was an etherial experience. truly she was amazing, her live vocals were so fucking good, like obviusly we know she can sing but to acually hear that live , absolutly breathtaking. I felt like I was floating, being guided by her vocals and performance.....😳 cant wait to see her live agan in the future if she ever does another tour
Ramona Lisa everything about that project was amazing!!!!!!
Yessss!!! So underrated! Arcadia Reprise into Izzit True What They Tell Me is one of my favorite experiences in music.
i was not ready for the persona music nearing the end
Butterfly Net has been on repeat for days !!!
i had the luck of catching the first show from the handful of 2019 gigs and it was so brilliant. small, intimate venue and incredible performance. ag cook dj'd after. strangely, beforehand was one of the weirder most stressful experiences i've had in an uber with a total rager driver so it was a huge contrast to the tea light lit ethereal show after.
thanks i hate it
truly thorough exploration, and goddamn: you better get some recompense for this promo. i'm gonna find the kexp vid now
I saw Chairlift open for Yeasayer in Toronto in the winter of 2007, what a great night. There may or may not have been acid involved.
In some ways I like Chairlift more than her solo work. Still awesome to see her take off, especially at her age (I’m 38)
great video, loved it. and absolutely love caroline, saw her live at primavera sound buenos aires last year! she cried during billions and i started crying like a baby too, life-changing experience!
I'm ready to go to Carolyn's Island, lol
DESIIIIIIIIRE
Carollin' Pullachek ♥️ ❤️
i feel grateful EVERYday for being alive at the same century as caroline, since i discovered pang it literally changed my life, and now i cant see me alive without hearing her music
I LOVE caroline sm. Her, AURORA, and Hayley Williams are like my top top topppp artists. Have been for years now fr I love their expression
opening w a shot of the twin towers is CRAZY 😭 great video tho
THE ALBUM IS OUT!!!! STREAM DESIRE I WANT TO TURN INTO YOU ❤️❤️❤️
What's your favorite song from it?
Blood and Butter but its rly close. Whats yours?
Smoke
Good picks! I really love Crude Drawing of an Angel and Blood and Butter
I love her and I’m so stoked for her new album which as of this writing, it will be released in an hour. I’m anticipating this will be one of the best albums of 2023 given how awesome all of the singles released so far (especially billions and blood and butter)
AOTY is so close to being released
4 days waaaaaaaaaaa
Caroline is literally super awesome. I met her after a concert in Brooklyn. She was humble and amazing. One of my favorite artists and songwriters.
love the stardew music :)
thx me 2 😺
This is actually a really good video. Big W, I really liked this
thanks so much!
Her music is so gripping! Very grateful for this vid. Very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ending with Persona 5 jams GOT ME!!!!!
This is a very insightful video! I never knew all that much about her past
A few of my favorite things in life
1. Tiny digestible docs for the ultra busy
2. Tiny digestible docs on non mainstream extremely talented indie music artists
3. Music video Visuals
4. Mega man
5. Persona 5
6. Carolina Polachek
This video has managed to incorporate all of these things. Perhaps the creator of this video and I are meant to be friends...jus saying.
I think we would get along :)
Of the two, I don't know which warrants a bigger reaction on my part
A. Discovering that Grimes had chosen and had been using the exact same avatar as me at the same time last year. Morgana (who WE both know is NOT A CAT!)
Or
B. Despite saving the track " Backwards and Upwards " into my "Likes" playlist on my premium youtube music subscription months & months back...had NO FREAKIN CLUE this was Carolina! (frankly I'm a little disappointed in myself)
Thank you for the revelation kind sir...I'm going to go find the nearest mound of sand to bury my head in now. Good day!
Lol
Chairlift fans have been knowing for decades, welcome young children to music
she went to and recorded her first album at CU Boulder, my school :) Sko buffs!
how did you get the pang font???
Really put the p5r victory screen music as our endcap, unexpected
