Important back story to this album:
Porter Robinson explained in an interview that this album might’ve never even happened because of his previous album worlds, Porter Robinson thought worlds was the best he could do on an album, so he got really depressed and stopped and delayed the release of nurture. Porter Robinson didn’t want to upset his fans by releasing something that couldn’t hold up to the same energy as worlds. The only reason why this album happened is because of his mom, Rika, his brothers and his dad. His mom taught him the meaning to nurture (care for and encourage the growth or development of.) telling him to be easier on himself, Rika bringing him happiness and telling him to look at things with optimism and hope rather than cynicism, his brothers having a taste that he can rely on when he’s lost his own perspective on his work. Porter Robinson also spent tons and tons of time working on this album not experiencing life, not going out and doing activities, falling in love, etc, which also led him deeper into depression always working on Nurture taking no time to actually living and doing other things. That’s why this album is so beautiful, Porter Robinson explains that this album is about him getting out of that depression and finally going out do living and experiencing the beauties of life other than working on this album and finally finding peace within himself and realizing that life is truly beautiful and he shouldn’t take that for granted and he should spend time realizing the beauty of the world and the beauty of life.
If you get the Nurture vinyl Porter Robson writes inside of the vinyl saying “Nurture is about the things in your life you can change. There’s little we can do about our nature, because that’s what’s given to us, so we have to turn our focus to the things we can affect. For me, it was the decision to confront the anxiety, uncertainty, and fear of failure to charge on in pursuit of writing meaningful music even when it seemed impossible, I think the best thing that we can do is to find something that gives us a strong sense of meaning, and pursue it relentlessly. There was -and is- a strong temptation to succumb to despair, irony, and nihilism, because it’s not hard to find suffering in our world, especially when it’s incessantly served to you, but there’s also so much beauty, hope, and joy out there if you seek it out. My wish is that when people listen to Nurture, they’ll be reminded that life is worthwhile, that there’s a purpose in your existence, and that you can meaningfully change things for the better.”
“Only you have you’re memories your relations, and your talents. All of those things are worth cherishing and preserving.”
This is why this album is so special
This album could make a grown mad cry in front of his children, and thats okay.
cheeleader review imminent
THIS ALBUM SAVE MY LIFE
i refuse to believe that this masterpiece was released almost 3 YEARS AGO!!
FINALLY YOU REACTING TO MY PERSONAL ALBUM OF THE DECADE! You love to see it!
This album feels like spring mixed with intrusive thoughts lol Which is why I love it 😂 When you say parts of it are sweet it’s usually when it’s actually dark… he refers to “mother” as mother nature and Look At The Sky is about surviving not wanting to be alive… so it’s this sweet sound with dark thoughts.
He said mother is about how much he loves his mother! Unless it's both
@@bed7610 I think it’s a double meaning but one part of the song says about going back to “Mother” which I interpret as we all go into the ground and become one with nature again.
to what you said about there being a separate singer, that's just a pitch shifter, it's still him and is a pretty core part of his sound for a long time! the new song he just put out is really interesting because he uses it way less
As a huge Porter fan it was nice to hear a fresh perspective on this album.
Your thoughts about dull scythe were very similar to mine on my first listen, over time I grew to love it, and it became one of my favorites on the album.
I heard somebody describe the song as "something desperately trying to exist, but doesn't know how, and eventually figures it out and shows its true self"
It hits home a lot.
The vocals are all Porter on this album. Except for the bonus track on the Japanese version of the album "Fullmoon Lullaby", and the sample on Musician is from Kero Kero Bonito but i'm not sure which song. I actually forgot Unfold was on here nvm lol
The KKB sample comes from an unfinished collab, but Porter gave up working on it after the pandemic hit.
See I wasn't sure if it was all Porter and just a lot of vocal effects/pitch changing or not.
Yeah it's all him, he does it live too and switches between the two voices. It's crazy@@ShelbyShuffleMode
@@ShelbyShuffleMode He's mentioned in interviews that a lot of the pitch shift vocals are his inner monologue/the voice in his head. His fears, his doubts.
Hey Shelby, I think you missed the overall message of the album in the lyrics. Yes the feeling and mood is unique and has a dainty quality, but people love this album so much for other reasons too. when you take a deeper look into the lyrics of songs like Musician, Get Your Wish or Something Comforting, it speaks to how the artist had to overcome depression, success fantasies and self-doubt in order to write what you are listening to now. And Trying To Feel Alive is about how it all doesn’t matter and its just a part of his personality that is a gift. I didn’t hear many comments like this in your review and encourage you to listen to it again through this lens! Or watch a podcast or interview like his with Fantano
Thanks for the insight! I make my reviews as “initial” reviews so lyrics wise I usually need more than one round of listening to catch all lyrical complexity, especially with albums like this where the music in itself is so ear catching on a first listen. It’s hard to catch it all in one full listen. Hope that makes sense!
Porter almost needs a Porter Iceberg video tbh.
I appreciate you listening to this album very much! EDM (though I’m not sure how other people classify Porter’s music in Electronic) is a genre that not many people like, but Porter put’s his own twist on it and I love it! Understandably, it can be hard to take in this album’s message on first listen, especially with how the songs are laid out. But I do hope you can, in your own time, go back and really take it in! Thank you for the reaction, Shelby! Have a good day! Stay safe!
This is an album that for sure requires more than one listen to catch all lyrics. The music is so captivating at first it’s hard to get the whole theme lyrically simultaneously on a first listen.
@@ShelbyShuffleMode It truly is! I hope you can come to enjoy his music as much as we fans do!
I love all types of EDM, and Dance too. Sadly the problem with EDM compared to other genres is because how saturated the landscape has become, everything sounds so alike, and even though this can be said about other genres, it feels a lot more so true with EDM. Thousands of sound alikes, it’s like a needle in a haystack getting tracks from people like Porter Robinson, Madeon, Odesza, Flume, Skrillex, KOAN Sound, Noisia etc. in between the releases we’ll hear from so many other artists in the landscape.
@@Cohen- I think the difficult thing, too, is that those EDM artists, that we love, had to change with the times and make more mainstream type music. Not to say their music isn’t good, we just wish we had the original stuff back
This album is absolutely beautiful, the album cover says it all
I listen to this album when I need a "hug" through tough times, it's so positive, sweet and pleasent to the ears 🥹
Edit: YOU ALSO SAID IT'S A HUG LMAO
The sudden piano solo in Wind Tempos makes me burst into tears every single time and I have no idea why
One of the best albums of 2021. Glad you’re reviewing it and keep up the great work ✌🏾✌🏾🔥
Shelby, I'm so glad you reacted to this album. A few years ago, I discovered Nurture when I hit rock bottom. It changed my perspective of life and has made me want to live life to the fullest. When I see people here reacting to this album, I find joy in watching their faces light up. It's really odd and different from what you hear on the radio. But that's truly the beauty of it.
I've been to two porter robinson sets at the last two second skies and I gotta say that hearing these songs live really push the impact of them. One of my favorite memories of being at one of his concerts was him mixing up his own lyrics to Bloom because he was so lost in the moment and trying not to cry- as the song is about his now-fiancé Rika. It was SO sweet.
I really love Porter Robinsons music, I hope you end up checking out Worlds. Also all the vocals in his music are done by him I'm pretty sure with editing and such.
That’s what I keep hearing which is wild!
First!! 😂
I'm excited to see your reaction. Porter Robinson is fantastic
Tw// Porter has helped me through so many tough times. Every time I think about/try to end it all, to end the misery, clear the burdens I carry, for when I watch the sky or for when I walk and see how small I am to the world, seeing how meaningless my life feels, and all the things I've lost, I listen to Porter's music. I embrace that darkness, that loneliness, the emptiness, and it makes me treasure what I do have, the experiences I've been through, without them I wouldn't be who I am now. I look at the sky and see the beauty of the colors and not the loneliness the vastness of it brings me. It makes me feel ok to cry because I can now embrace the warmth of life. I will always struggle with these thoughts, but the music will always help to give me hope, for when I'm alone.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time and the album that got be back into EDM after a 10 year hiatus. EDM can be so much more than you think. Seen Porter twice on the Nurture tour and twice as DJ sets now and every time he delivers like nobody else can!
one of my favorite albums of all time!
This album is incredibly special to me. I want trauma dump but I’ll just say it came at a very hard time in my life and it was just a very important of my healing process. I was tearing up while watching this video but in a good way. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this album. It was nice to experience it again through someone else
Sweet Time is my absolute favorite from this album. Something Comforting and Unfold get me in my emotions.
The vocals are mostly just Porter's own, pitched up, pitched down and layered with a fair bit of reverb. Aside from Unfold of course, where he has the Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs feature.
YESS we finally got here
My favorite artist ❤
If you turned out to be a fan of his and starting to listening all of his discography and ask does the albums was made by Porter, then youre in the right track. Each of his project didnt sound like its the same people that made it and yet you'll knew that its him lmao, soo much appreciated for this content❤
This is easily one of my favorite albums of all time
also theres a extra track in the Japan version of the Album
13:50 well... as far as I know he uses quite complex vocalizer to remix his voice into female sounding one. You can spot it while he is singing these female parts live during his shows - while having pitch changes typical to not singing off the tape.
The “eh eh eh ah eh eh eh oh” in Musician is a sample from an unreleased 2019 demo.
to complete the holy trinity you should react now to his alter project "Virtual Self" the selftitled album and a song that is not in the album called Angel Voices (important!!)
yessirr
check out worlds later too
I can’t really explain the feeling this album gives me. But all I know is that is beautiful
yesss finaly
We all want SMILE! Review after it’s released!!!!!!!
i can't wait bro i'm going to be in shambles 😭
yesss!!
Which songs is your favourite for me musician is my favourite song
worth noting that the tracks Sweet Time and Blossom are about Porter's girlfriend (now wife) Rika. They got married right after the album came out!
I love Porter❤ and this album is 10/10.You should react to Madeon too.
Wish you could do the same thing with Good Faith by Madeon!
