same, never played this game in my life, but man...the OST is absolute fire, pure feelgood 90s SEGA. yeah i think this is citypop? the funky bass, the soul. RIP my man Etika, he always played bangers on the streams
My personal favorite from this soundtrack is Can You Feel the Sunshine, but they're all amazing. Sonic never misses with the soundtracks even if the game is mid.
I think the main influence for this soundtrack is the early/mid-90s Eurodance scene. It's very cool to see so many music & gaming fans continue to discover Richard Jacques's incredible work slowly but surely over the years
Holy hell you remember Etika's Breakout reaction vid, that's insane! I remember that vid came out of left field but it genuinely put me on to an amazing song and artist. RIP man, he really did know good music and loved to share it. And in a beautiful way, it seems you're carrying that legacy with you in your channel with the feel good vibes and everything. Appreciate you bro!
NO WAY! You reacted to Sonic R songs!!! And my favorite is Work It Out!!! I even remixed Work It Out on my youtube channel because it's such a banger!!! Dude these songs are fire! You gotta react to more Sonic R songs! Super Sonic Racing, Can You Feel The Sunshine, and Back In Time are my other picks for you to check out from this game. You also should react to other Sonic game soundtracks, like Sonic Generations, Team Sonic Racing, and more of Sonic Mania! Catch you later, dude!
Thanks for remembering Etika, i bet he would be jamming with you to this~ It's not uncommon to hear people say that Sega games are glorified Music Albums. If SEGA focused on just music, i bet they would be doing so well. (I still love sega games)
This OST is a total gem. I have it in my daily playlist and can listen to all of it ♬, ALL I NEED IS YOU! ♫♫So we can be together! ♪ ♪ All I need is you! ♫
Bro it’s cool that you reacted to the Sonic R OST! It rare to see people do full on reactions to the soundtrack. Your reaction was amazing too man! Glad others are loving the Sonic R OST!
Breakout doesn't really sound anything like Living in the City. The heavy swing is completely different, the style is different, the tempo is different, and it's considerably higher energy.
I know this is a couple months old but man thank you fro listening to the Sonic R OST these two are personally my favourite in the game and my friend dislikes the whole soundtrack like man he tripping
This was the first Sonic game I owned because it had a PC release (I never had a Sega console), so it holds a special place in my heart. I also think the game influenced my musical tastes because I cannot get enough city-pop in my life (even if classical and jazz are my favorite genres in general). If you're still looking for more city-pop, a Hololive member loves to do this style for her original songs, as well as her karaoke streams. Her name is Houshou Marine.
Damn. Listening to my favorite songs, from a game I love and hold dear, talking about citypop and mentioning Etika, and the love for the song Breakout… wooow This was a way more emotional video for me than I expected. Love it. Richard Jacques killed it dude, and definitely look up TJ Davis’ other works if you’re trying to find more of this vibe.
If you like this check out the Metropolis Street Racer soundtrack, composed by the same guy Richard Jacques with TJ Davis singing. Some amazing bops on there with similar vibes!
To think there was a time when this soundtrack was fairly disliked; I've always loved it. I think my favorite of the 7 vocal themes is either Back In Time or Diamond In The Sky, but honestly all of them are absolute bangers. If I had to choose a least favorite It's probably Super Sonic Racing solely because of there not being many vocals during the latter half of the song, which is a shame when it's very clearly the main theme (an instrumental version of it plays on the title screen). I wish these songs got more remixes but I think the only official one is the Super Sonic Racing remix in Sonic Generations, which I'm not a huge fan of. A few of them were brought back for the second major update of Sonic Frontiers at least, where they and a bunch of other older songs play in some new challenges.
I have some songs I think you would like from Fire Emblem Three Hopes, a warriors style game. Fodlan Winds [Inferno], Tempest of Seasons [Inferno], Corridor of Tempest [Inferno], and Profound Ties that Bind [Inferno].
Might give these a listen cause I played Three Houses and love it but never Three Hopes and warriors games soundtracks are always incredible! Even though admittedly I’ve still yet to play one!💀
City Pop is dope. If you get the chance, listen to its more upbeat relative Future Funk. You'll like those vibes if you like the Sonic R songs so far 👌, and its super nostalgic even if youve never heard it before. (P.S. My fav song is a tie between Work it Out, and Diamond in the Sky)
I recommend “just another dream” and “all night long” by Cathy Dennis. It is the exact same genre as these tracks, they’re not city pop imo. City pop is older these tracks are like mid early 90s
Swing Out Sister AND Sonic R AND City Pop? I think we share a similar musical taste. If you give me a feedback about following recommendations, maybe I can help you pinpoint your favorite musical style(s) better: video game music: Ridge Racer - One More Win (100% chance you would like it) Burning Rangers - We are Burning Rangers Cosmic Eternity - Believe In Yourself not video game music: Moloko - Sing It Back Basia - Drunk On Love Lisa Stansfield - This Is The Right Time Loveland - The Wonder Of Love La Bouche - Be My Lover

yeah i think this is citypop? the funky bass, the soul.
RIP my man Etika, he always played bangers on the streams
Nah it’s prolly more akin to Dance-Pop and House but there’s prolly some City Pop influence
Also RIP Erika
THIS SONG IS TO PEAK
My personal favorite from this soundtrack is Can You Feel the Sunshine, but they're all amazing. Sonic never misses with the soundtracks even if the game is mid.
This stuff sounds like something that'd be at home on a "Best of the 90s" compilation - which I ain't complaining about.
yea definitely listen to more music from this game, genuinely one of the best osts in the series
The Singer TJ Davis also did the vocals for Metropolis Street Racer OST. Be sure to check it out after Sonic R.
Diamond in the Sky is my personal favorite of this soundtrack!
This was a great listen. Awesome video!
thank you for reacting to my favorite sonic R song, work it out, not many people reaction to that song when they listen to Sonic R songs :(
They missing out!
I think the main influence for this soundtrack is the early/mid-90s Eurodance scene. It's very cool to see so many music & gaming fans continue to discover Richard Jacques's incredible work slowly but surely over the years
Sonic once again comin in with the amazing (vocals) music.
Holy hell you remember Etika's Breakout reaction vid, that's insane! I remember that vid came out of left field but it genuinely put me on to an amazing song and artist.

Your reaction was amazing too man! Glad others are loving the Sonic R OST!
You gotta check out Can you feel the sunshine, other than Super Sonic Racing, it's basically the defacto theme for Sonic R
Dance music is the reason we stayed in shape in the 90s!
Breakout doesn't really sound anything like Living in the City. The heavy swing is completely different, the style is different, the tempo is different, and it's considerably higher energy.
Sonic R is known for it's OST and for being a fairly bad racing game.
It’s funny because this game is bad but kinda in a fun way lol
it aint bad, people just thought the game would control like a platformer, even though it controls like a race car
Game plays just fine as it is.
Expecting the controls to be like that of a platformer is the issue.
I know this is a couple months old but man thank you fro listening to the Sonic R OST these two are personally my favourite in the game and my friend dislikes the whole soundtrack like man he tripping
Definitely one of my favorite gaming OSTs! I highly recommend listening to the other vocal themes, they're legendary status 🔥

Diamonds in the sky is a banger must listen ❤❤
Hey man, new fan and I can tell in gonna be a big one! Such genuine appreciation
Glad to get this game in the Gems Collection, so good.
Love this reaction video, Sage. Will you react to other Sonic R songs? 😊

One of my favorite reactors 👏
Diamond In The Sky is my personal favorite
YOUVE GOT TO MAKE IT REALLLLL

Neat
Oh listen to Dayton 2000 OST if you like some old school Sega =D
City Pop is dope. If you get the chance, listen to its more upbeat relative Future Funk. You'll like those vibes if you like the Sonic R songs so far 👌, and its super nostalgic even if youve never heard it before.
(P.S. My fav song is a tie between Work it Out, and Diamond in the Sky)
Bro please react to the rest
The whole of the ost is an absoloute bop
I recommend “just another dream” and “all night long” by Cathy Dennis. It is the exact same genre as these tracks, they’re not city pop imo. City pop is older these tracks are like mid early 90s
Very 90s
Swing Out Sister AND Sonic R AND City Pop? I think we share a similar musical taste. If you give me a feedback about following recommendations, maybe I can help you pinpoint your favorite musical style(s) better:

Burning Rangers - We are Burning Rangers
Cosmic Eternity - Believe In Yourself
not video game music:
Moloko - Sing It Back
Basia - Drunk On Love
Lisa Stansfield - This Is The Right Time
Loveland - The Wonder Of Love
La Bouche - Be My Lover
Amazing selection 🤩
From that same soundtrack, react to Super Sonic Racing!!!
