My quarantine roots while I'm jamming out to "my hair" 👁👄👁
Y'all better show this video some love after dragging me for trying to cut down my previous album reviews to under an hour 😭 **EDIT I'm sorry I cut out the end of love language by accident 😩
Hey, idk if you finished the entire track, love language but in the video you ended it prematurely. Again, maybe you just edited out your reaction of that part or didn’t have anything to say about it, but I just wanted to let you know it was there! Awesome video and I love your perspective on the album, typically I always see vocal coaches reacting to her music so it’s cool to see the breakdown of the songs from an instrumental and rhythmic standpoint!
lol watched every minute of it! thx for keeping it long 🤗❤️
@@Yeahhhbabbeeyyy right! All the other reactions I see really focus on vocal production mostly with a little about the beat and stuff so it’s so great hearing this perspective! Loveeee it. And omg yes I would love to know her thoughts on that little added piece at the end of love language (although I just go to the next song before I hear it 🌚)
My hair took me by surprise with all that whistles notes, I'll be waiting for you reaction 🔥💖
Pls react to little mix confetti album

Thank you!! 💖💖 stay safe ❤️❤️

Your ability to point out what’s going on in the mixes of each track is astonishing to me! YOUR EARRRRR🔥
Thank you bud! 🙌🏾❤️😭 when I listen to music I hear layers and I love sharing these layers with you guys
Pov literally makes me feel like I’m in love. Even if it’s just with myself. My favorite song of hers now.
I fuck with this comment so much! 😭💯✨🙌🏾
mhmmm 💙🙏🏼✊🏼😇
@@kojikali3381 It’s THAT special of a song! 🤍
love that this comes from an actual music analysis perspective rather than the perspective of a fan.
not saying you’re not a fan LOL just saying you clearly value the music more :-)
I see what you mean no worries bud lol. I do definitely care about the music, every layer is important for sure. 💯🙏🏾✨
Safety net is my favourite song right now 🔥
Same off the album tho not of all time
Snow yung same thi
same
a piece of me withered away when the end of love language was missed
Just like magic info:
1.The crickets in just like magic was a cute reference to a project by Mac Miller called Crickets
2. She also has a line in just like magic “and write some love letter to heaven” meaning sending love to mac
the more you know 🤍
Just like magic is about law of attraction/manifestation. I’m sure that’s probably a nod to Mac but it’s not the message of the song
Not to drag u,but why must u always reference her song to her ex's.just like magic doesn't have anything to do with mac miller(at least I don't think so). The real reference to mac miller was from "off the table" even the last part of "off the table" is from his (mac miller's) song called "2009" I think(I don't really listen to him.)
@@crops2983 no yea just like magic is definitely not about mac miller but it does have subtle hints about him, ‘love letters to heaven’ which is clearly about mac miller, the others are definitely theories and are questionable if they were intentionally supposed to be like that. but yea that part is definitely referencing mac miller. and the end of her song obvious has the same chord progressions as mac millers song ‘come back to earth’ these are only theories tho, dont take them by heart if u dont want to
@@crops2983 its only references but that doesnt mean that the song is about him i think is what you’re saying
@@K1RA795 come on now,I wasn't (directly) saying that this song has nothing or has something to do with mac miller,it's just people keep referencing him to every other song,for me "just like magic" has absolutely nothing to do with mac miller, except maybe that line(emphasize on maybe). If he doesn't have anything to do with the song,then why mention his name??? It's just getting repetitive,as I've said in my (previous) comment that the real reference to mac miller is on "off the table" and nothing else...
edit:I don't mean to come so offensive I'm just trying to tell people that they should stop always bringing up his name.
You ended love language too soon! There’s a part that you missed
she said that she accidentally edited it out I think she said it after you made this comment but 5 months later just wanted to let you know
@@cupidre1 thank you for letting me know!!
LL kinda reminds me of successful
This is my favorite album by her, it’s so R&B-ish.
Some songs have those nostalgic sounds (I’m addicted to those sounds for sure) especially the end of 34+35 and you noticed it! My fav song is Obvious ‘cause have that nostalgia on it. Subscribing for sure 💛 you’re so beautiful and your ear OMFG
No one:
Koji Kali: The Cadence! THE CADENCE!
🤍
😂😂😂👀💯
When I first heard My Hair I thought of India Arie. And apparently idk for sure but it's an India Arie sample. She most definitely tapped into that neo soul sound
Whoa!!! Didn’t know it was an India Arie sample... India is queen for sure 💯🙌🏾
ariana also met india arie in 2015! india said ariana was telling her abt how she grew up w her music and looked up to her for years. ariana has covered a couple of her songs on her channel when she used to only upload covers. so cute. she also sang a bit of video for an interlude on her dangerous woman tour in 2017
Her ability to hear all this stuff is AMAZING
A lot of 90s Mariah (+ Caution album) vibes from this one. The moody R&B production plus the obvious vocal influence. Love it.
Nothing on here sounds like 90s Mariah, nothing.
@@codywalsh2075 I'm a stan and it does.
@@cr3413 caution yes, 90s no. Literally what 90s songs of Mariah's?
@@codywalsh2075 Several. Bliss, other parts of Rainbow, parts of Butterfly, a dash of Daydream.
@@cr3413 I said songs and you still can't provide and my hair is nothing like bliss.
this video felt so casual like we’re literally just having a conversation it was really nice to watch
Id love to see you react to her Sweetener album because it has Pharrell, Max Martin, and her usual Tommy brown crew !
you should try giving her sweetener album a listen ! i think you'd enjoy it
You have the kind of ear a music producer must have. Love this.
I love your expectations vs reality with my hair. One of the best album reaction videos I’ve ever watched. Your ear is impeccable 🔥🔥🔥
This means so much, I appreciate you for tuning in! Got more on the way! 😄❤️✨
Luv the way u break down the entire record Koji. 'my hair', 'westside', 'positions,' n 'pov' r the best tracks especially the latter which made me feel super nostalgic.
Saaaame the nostalgia was so real in this record. Thanks for tuning in love! It’s always a pleasure 😆✨👍❤️
‘pov’ deffo hit that funny butterfly feeling ☺️🥰🥺
the main reaction I’ve been looking forward to!! I just love the way you break everything down and still vibe with it at the same time. Incredible! Love the content and loved the reaction ❤️
Thank you dear! I appreciate your time watching this, you’re amazing. ❤️✨💯
I love how deeply nuanced and detailed your review is. You can see how deep your knowledge and understanding of the history and scope of music is❤️❤️ this was such fun video to watch!
just me or Does everyone love this album
I loved it off the first listen but hear a lot of people saying it’s their least fav album of hers (because they’re comparing it to her previous bodies of work)
@@PrimeTimeMel listen to thank u next and dangerous woman
@@ilovewemorsemore uhhh I’ve listened to all of her albums already
It’s really good. People just like to compare it to her more pop albums. It’s one of my favorites definitely.
as a music lover and aspiring music producer this type of break down reactions give me life. lookimg forward to your content
I hope you have heard the Love Language outro haha. Probably one of my fave moments in the album it should have just been a separate interlude. I was on the edge of my seat hoping you’d react to it 💀.
YOU NEED WAYYY MORE ATTENTION so much better than other producers I’ve seen reacting to music your ear is amazing
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate the energy and good vibes. You all have been so amazing 🥺✨❤️💯
I love your reaction! It's dope to see something like this from a producer/musician, and especially a black one.
my hair is the best song on this album NO QUESTIONS
YES
OFF THE TABLE is definitely a runner up
POV NO DOUBT!!!
I agree! I like my hair, west side, and motive ✨🙌🏾
For me pov
This video makes me cry cuz you appreciates every single piece and details in each track of this album, which most of the reactors doesnt hear.❤️😭
My hair immediately brought India Arie to my mind. And i know Ariana listens to her music.
On off the table,the weeknd didn't give his everything because he is supposed to be a feauture so ariana has to be the main voice
6:30 is when the sun sets. She is basically asking is he going to be here through it all, through every good and bad moment, the Light (the day time) and the darkness (night time) and everything in between (sunset-6:30). She's also describing her life, she life is never just good or never just bad, its always in the middle.
this is why she is describing her antics as well as his, and the fact that they both understand each others bullshit and reason for driving each other crazy.
(i'm like a year late sorry lol) but I thought it was bc when both hands on a clock are pointing directly down, its 6:30
safety net man, that song hits me so fucking hard
i really think you should dive into Doja Cats catalog, she’s a rapper but she features a lot of singing and experimental rap in her music! her older stuff is a lot more out there if you’re willing to listen to something different.
I LOVE THIS REACTION SM!! She literally hears everything which is very fun to watch bc not a lot of reactors notice the parts which I want a reaction on, thank you for doing this!! You should react to her previous album "thank u, next" Sending love from the Philippines!! 💝✨
I’ve just arrived to this channel and I’m AMAZED on how you break down every single detail of every single song, keep going!!
Also, you should react to whole Future Nostalgia album if you haven’t
Thanks for tuning in Alex, and I appreciate the recommendation! I have lot heard that album yet, but I’ll have to give it a go! 😆👍✨❤️
I LOVE that you actually know music and aren't just someone spewing out uneducated opinions. Lol
For My Hair she actually sampled India Arie😍 I love this reaction!!!
You ended POV before the best part. But you did have a very insightful video! Very educational . Thank you 🙏🏻
I would love to see a "best produced songs of 2020" video from you! Also a list of your favs from this year!!
I had that same stank face when the drums came in on Motive. Favorite song off the album for sure
Ariana’s cadences in Just Like Magic like the second part of her verses are those triplets? I can’t place the rhythm 😫 it’s so good though!
Yeahhh the rhythm on that is a bit different for sure. That’s not a triplet rhythm from what I hear. Not sure what rhythm it is but the way she word vomits over her verses are insane
I would love to hear your take on Bree Runway! Whether you do just one song or her new EP!
I’d gag!
West side gives me a brandy vibe especially verse 2
Got the whole band class waiting for this video and we loved it your ear! You got 2 clarinet players one flute (me) and one jazz guitar and we loved it! Your ear! Thank you!
That’s so awesome! Wow I’m honored that you guys watched the show! Good vibes to you my friend ❤️✨
@@kojikali3381 can we get you to watch brandys performance at the soul train awards the performance and the instrumental was incredible 😭 we need your ear on it
@@armanimarcel301 ahhhh lol. Okay. I got a few things in the cue, I’ll have to set aside a special day. I already know That anything Brandy touches is fire 🔥😭👍
AHHH WHY AM I NOT SUBSCRIBED. I'VE WATCHED LIKE 10 OF HER VIDS ALREADY!!!
Dooo it! 👀🙏🏾💯✨🙌🏾😂
@@kojikali3381 Ahhh I did!!!💯🖤
It’s the details for me! You always nail it.
Yesss i was thinking the same thing about the weeknd thanks for pointing that out. i couldn’t figure out what i was hearing about his voice that kinda made my voice go🥴
Yeahhh lol not trying to knock him down but he sings from his nose a lot. He just needs to sing from his stomach
I’m going to save this video for after work bc I can’t get invested the way I want to 😩 I haven’t listened to the album yet for reasons but listening via your ear? I will do that.
I've been waiting for this!!! New subscriber but I'm obsesssssed 😍😍
me too😍
This completely made my day! Thank you so much love ❤️✨
@@kojikali3381 you're welcome! Love you!!❤️❤️❤️
@@_brunoduarte_06 I love you more ✨❤️☺️
I love this reaction, keep goin gilr, sending love from Colombia
Much love to you my friend 😆❤️💯✨
Hey Koji!
I thoroughly enjoy your reviews! Your ear is so keen and sharp! Also, thanks for picking up my Sawayama recommendation.
That being said, I have another recommendation. I'm not sure if you analyze albums in Spanish, but I really would love to see your interpretation to "Miss Colombia" by Lido Pimienta. It's an album that brings African roots to the forefront with all the percussive instruments, yet manages to sneak some experimental in there. I feel like it is such a new sound, not to mention her voice is incredible. I will say, there are two songs in there that are very bare and raw where she gave the spotlight to the Sexteto Tabalá she used to record her album. If you want a taste I'd recommend "Nada" from the album.
Also, love to see your channel growing!!!
This is the first video I’m watching of yours. Subscribed so quick! Excited to watch more! ❤️ love your vibe!
You need to react to her album "Thank u, next" it has no skips. It's a masterpiece
Hello human. Firstly, your hair is exquisite. Secondly, thank you for the content, it's awesome. I appreciate your educated commentary, it's a nice change from your typical 'reaction channel,' that just gasps every 0.1 seconds. lol. anyways, your energy is super magnetic nd I wish only the best for u, and ur growth on youtube!!!!
Wow this is the most awesome comment! Thank you so much for it brought me so much joy! I definitely have more stuff in the way for you all! Thank you so much for the love ✨
i've been SO excited for this! love your stuff and reviews! you're freaking a genius!
I’ve listened to this album like a thousand times and I’m noticing so many new things now. Even more appreciation now after watching your vid
I was waiting for this one😌

Yessss!! Love your work
I loved this reaction so much✨💜💜

You should check out Dojas cat albums “ Hot pink”!! I love your channel lol
Been waiting on your reaction mama . I loved this 😍❤️
Thank you for tuning in again dear ❤️❤️❤️😭
really love these Producer Reacts you do!!
I’m glad you reacted to this
every song was like “ *mmm* this music production isn’t it *but* the song *is* it!
I can't like a song if I don't like the production. and i wasn't into this video as much because it didn't feel like a real deep dive, for that reason. I wasn't expecting a little more detail in the things she was talking about.
I love how critical she is
Love your reaction! Thank you!
My personal favorites from the album are: My Hair, Motive, Pov, and Westside. 💕💕💕💕
love ur reactions
Please do Mariah Carey’s Butterfly album it’s a very complex album with a lot of different sounds
They never do, don't except them too.
I came to see the reaction, especially at 40:58 👀
👁👄👁
😂😂😂😂
So glad you liked westside as well, i think it also has an Aaliyah one in a million sample
Love your insights.
This was my fav review so far!!!!! Subscribing!
Damn I love your vids you're amazing and so is your magical music...I would love to see you become more exposed and slowly but surely you will. And once again I'm here to ask you to react to the whole album Women in Music pt.3 by the rock sister trio Haim. I have a feeling you would like it. Keep doing what you're doing you're great.💕💕💕
Wow thank you so much. I needed this good energy today. Thank you for giving me that. It’s truly a gift and I appreciate your time to watch these videos 😆❤️✨💯
I love ur hair
Watching your video was very refreshing. I loved your reaction and how you hear all the pieces of every song🤍 thank u!
My fav song this year
I'm a little late but I'm so glad I found this video and your channel! Your breakdown is like a sister to Nina Schofield's breakdown of the album. Always happy to see some 'my hair' appreciation.
"Over it" Next!!
when i saw the notifications of your react, i said: wait lemme listening to this shit again and again, now im ready to absorve every information you'll give to us. also, i fucking love you so much to watch 1hour of video (i can't even stand watching this much in my classes )
Yahhhsss! I love! Thank you hun, I love you too ✨❤️💯😆

@@kojikali3381 Had some waffles and bacon! I had to show out! loool
@@MsAnnsBanans that’s right queen show out 😂💯✨🙌🏾
Gotta react to Giveon’s album
You should totally react to summer walker tooo!!😍😍 love her music
Incrediblly talented
Love this reaction! I would recommend reacting to BLACKPINK music!! As a music producer, I think you would have a lot of say to the songs because their music has just so much going on, unique transitions and the production is chef's kiss. I would love to hear you break it down. They just released their debut album, BLACKPINK THE ALBUM, pls check it out.
Can you react to Promiscuous x Motive. I just want to see your reaction🤣 It’s surprisingly good. And I Wanna Be Down but it’s the Ungodly Hour instrumental. It’s also really good
Late to see your reaction but awesome video and i like how you tell us how the song is going.
Six thirty means the clock facing down at 6:30 haha!
But maybe there’s a deeper meaning 👀 *tries to be deep* 😂😩💯✨
Kinda late to the party, but I LOVE this video! Could you maybe do a shorter video highlighting the additional tracks on the deluxe edition? I have no idea how I've never seen you on my recommended before!
Yay!!! React to Kylie Minogue's Disco too please!!!!!!
