Ole Børud is the Norwegian Steely Dan's Donald Fagen. Absolutely fantastic artist. World class, but then the market for such sofisticated music is not big in 2018. One chord rap/hip hop and infantile babe pop has conquered the world. As Keith Richard in Rolling Stones put it: There’s an enormous market for people who can’t tell one note from another
I regret I just learned about this group from their cover of Jay Gradon's (composer of After the Love Has Gone) song Nothing You Can Do About It. Great musicality, they songs, vocals, the whole band. Phenomenal!
I can't believe this guy has a Progressive Metal influence (I am a huge fan of Prog). This guy converted me to love this kind of music not just Metal and Rock music. This guy is diverse! Love his Keep Movin' album! One of the albums that changed my life as well!
Absolutamente Sensacional, essa mistura de Michael Jackson, Donald Fagen, Stevie Wonder que Ole Borud consegue ter em si, e ainda imprimir sua maneira de compor, tocar e reunir toda essa banda maravilhosa, e para mim o principal, o respeito ao "álbum" executar o show com a perfeição do álbum! Fantástico!
Feels like I'm shopping in the greatest candy store in the world. Best waiting music ever :-P Can't believe this dude also has several heavy metal projects...total wunderkind!!
Started as a 5 year old kid singing and making records in a christian context with his parents. Still does some of those things, and is a strong believer. Great guy, and a huge musician.
Chord progressions and lyric timbre is always a pleasant surprise. So many other artists' musical contributions in the compositions. Love the horn arrangements. Micheal Leonhart would be jealous. Great work guys! I'm smiling big!
This song is harmonically more complex than a Coltrane's tune, surely it has more tonal/modal centers and... It's just so beautiful, love it!! Ole is a terrific singer/songwriter/guitarist, he's just amazing! :))
Décidément un grand musicien . Peu connu en France quel dommage. C'est parfait et bien arrangé, la voix sublime digne de figurer parmi les plus grands comme Donald fagen , Al Jareau . J'adore.
Thierry Dargent je suis entièrement d’accord. Il est digne qu’on parle beaucoup plus de lui. Je suis de l’époque de Donald Fagen, Al Jarreau, James Ingram et encore pleins d’autres. Ole Borud a un talent monstre.

All fantastic musicians playing progressive, timeless pop inspired by the most symbolic figures and styles of the genre. Ole Børud is top class and I dig him. However, if there’s a hope that this music, in the present context, should travel much wider than Norway, it could perhaps stand a better chance if it is packaged with some visual concept and interest beyond musos with great chops. Musicianship alone counts for almost nothing in the world where this music sits. Sadly, musicianship alone doesn’t sell music, but stars do. And that goes for just about every genre of music. So, how to make a musician a star... P. S. Visualise Jamiroquai, circa mid-90s, performing with the stage presence of Ole Børud here - great as they were, they’d have been dead in the water.
Hur låter en sån här sångare på en "dålig dag", som Aaron Neville, Michael Jackson, Mark King, Philip Bailey, eller Maurice White? Take a pick... Heeeelt off grid-skills.

Well put! The Steely Dan aura is specifically strong in this tune.
Very welldone spoken words of you.
Yep, I agree with you Mr. K

Esqueceu da banda Pages, cara!!!
Faltou a mistura de Jamiroquai também, pagada muito parecida!
Ainda tem o Prince na jogada ... rs
Essa música lembra muito Incognito!!!
They pick up the style of Pages, so glad there are top musicians playing this style of music still today!!😍
Great music from great musicians. So much feeling and meaning as well!
OMG - this track could just fit so snuggly into Sunken Condos - Thank goodness I found this musician - life just got a little sweeter
Hearing some Level 42 in there as well. Simply awesome
u r right!....Mark King must be proud!
And, of course, Steely Dan.

Or buy the CD's! Fantastic records when you are blessed with ears to appreciate it.
Sounds like a cross between Donald Fagen and Gino Vanelli…which is a good thing!

Letra Tradução
There goes Mr. Achiever
He's a living example of success
The breed of a perfect one-track mind
He's a fortune believer
Status made to lend us in demand
And the world revolves around his head
That's all he needs to know
Everything is fine in wonderland
He's an uptown citizen
Living in the cold city
Making sure that everything is alright
There goes mr achiever
On his way to a another ladder climb
Constantly aiming for the sky
Desperately seeking a purpose
Status quo has yet to satisfy
Assinar e remover anúncios
He's an uptown citizen
Living in the cold city
Making sure that everything is alright
He's an uptown citizen
In the land of illusion
He maintains that everything is alright
And the world he knows is just a game
Of keeping up the score
Everything is fine in wonderland
He's an uptown citizen
Living in the cold city
Making sure that everything is alright
He's an uptown citizen
In the land of illusion
He maintains that everything is alright
He's an uptown citizen
Living in the cold city
Making sure that everything is alright
He's an uptown citizen
In the land of illusion
He's afraid that every
Things not alright
If you like this West Coast stuff like I di, listen to Tomi Malm!
They did some stuff together.
@@bjrnwinnss4521 He's on Tomi's album coming out on the 15th!

Listen another Acid Jazz band called Incognito... It's very similar this track!!
Dig legendary Incognito with Bluey, Maysa and others. Much of the 80s-90s acid jazz scene had so many great musicians.
@@innercirclemusic1 , I agree! Incognito is my favorite acid jazz band!!!!
