- Musician Reacts to Surface Pressure from Disney's Encanto!
With a more hip-hop vibe, this has to be one of my favourite songs from this film. Lin Manuel-Miranda has another stroke of genius when writing this song, which is beautifully performed by Jessica Darrow. I may have to do a cover of this song one day...
Be sure to check out my previous video where I react to We Don't Talk About Bruno:

Hope you guys liked the video! Let me know what other songs I should react to in the comments 😊
Детерминизм это Свобода 🤙
I saw a video of Lin-Manuel Miranda, the song writer, explaining that every song have Hispanic influence. This song have the reggaeton influence, and Isabella (the flower gifted sister) her song is more of the latino rock.
The call(2022) or Warriors(2020) by league of legends is great singing and orchestra. Opens up a whole new world of cinematic songs. Especially warriors.
React to what else can I do next?
The character is extremely strong because that’s her “gift”. I have never seen a muscular woman in Disney animation before, and her voice is so gruff- it’s just so cool!!! (The gifts in the movie are basically magical powers each character in that family has. The girl with glasses did not get one though.)
I heard kids are wanting more merchandise of her rather then Isabella (the fancy flower girl)
Yeah I heard about her toys being the most desirable! Just proof that kids have been waiting for a visibly strong female character for a very long time! 😊 It definitely helps when they have an amazing song 👍🏾
One of the animators mentioned how much they had to fight to actually give her muscles, and I'm SO HAPPY THEY DID
Luisa also actively trains as well. In the opening numbers she's running on a 'treadmill' and lifting weights, she's still very strong when she loses her power
I adore the fact that Luisa is just as feminine as she is buff 💪
Also I think Isabella would do better if she wasn’t in her “princess” Señorita Perfecta dress and either punk rock dresses she has towards the end
Can you blame them? While she look like she can snap a man like twig (and she can). She also have one of the most relatable struggle in modern society because of her power.
While Isabella also have her own issues, Isabella is still the “princess” where as she is the “warrior”. Something that are so rarely portrayed in female. Of course she would have her own fan base. Hell, I kind of wish media would show more female “warriors”.
Her initial workout was touching a candle, then opening a door. :D
Haha exactly, then she never really needed to work out again!
Underrated comment 😆
Wonder how much protein powder she had to down for such results 🤣
Детерминизм это Свобода 🤙 🤙
Nah, that just gave her the strength, the daily workouts she does in the first song give the body.
that moment when you switch from enjoying how awesome the song sounds then realise how depressing the lyrics are
I know!! This girl is genuinely crying out for help here! 😩 Still a great song though!
The Titanic and donkey imagery were perfect. Titanic was the "unsinkable ship" that wasn't, and Louisa is expected to be the "strong one," but doesn't feel very strong. Mules are associated with manual labor, just like she is, and the unicorn donkeys are just as fantastical as the idea of having some time for relaxation. Everything about this movie is incredible. So much attention to detail.
Furthermore, the 'Titanic' says Madrigal on the side where the name would be. She says the ship (the family) won't swerve. They refuse to deviate and barrel ahead trusting Louisa to just *handle* whatever is in their way, even if it's an iceberg several times the size of the ship. Not even touching on the metaphor that is the iceberg itself, referencing many things not the least of which is the 'more below the surface' linking to wanting to be more than just 'the strong one' and so many other things.
@@ArloMathis Absolutely! The lyrics and the fact that the ship says Madrigal really drive home the metaphor, it's so good!
I love the relation to the fact that there is so much more to an iceberg under the water than what you see above the surface of the water. There’s so many layers to the lyrics, imagery and beat production.
@@Hilo-gk3ix true
I call the unicorn donkeys ”donkeycorns”. It just makes me laugh
The unicorn donkeys are a representation of how unrealistic her dreams of being able to relax
Start - Jamaal "I don't know why would someone need to be that strong"
Middle - Jamaal "I want her workout"
End - Jamaal "I LOVE HER"
Something to consider in this song, her voice starts out low and gruff, and gets higher during her vulnerable parts. It hints at the disparity between the surface she presents outwards and how she feels inside.
I just cannot get over Jessica Darrow's vocal versatility in this song. Utterly spectacular.
Don’t apologize for being excited about how good this is, we all feel the same way.
Hahaha ok that’s good, I’m glad I’m not alone in this 😂
Детерминизм это Свобода 🤙 🤙 🤙
me: such good song
me noticing the lyrics and feel the same: pain... only.pain
Haha yeah that’s the problem, you want to enjoy the song but it has a less pleasant meaning behind it 😬😂
I feel the same way about the ‘drip drip drip’ part. Man, Lin Manuel Miranda is amazing
Right?! As soon as I heard it I knew it would be my favourite song 😍
The way she can take that driving rhythm and melody and make it so delicate and even fragile is masterful.
if you go through more of these reaction videos to this song you can see how many people emote with it.. how many elder siblings and particularly children of first generation migrants feel this kind of pressure and can relate to it.. the nr of people who sobbed through half the song or had to stop watching altogether is exceptional... I think we should commend Disney for having the guts to break stereotypes they help create...by making a movie that has no villain but deals with intergenerational trauma in such a powerful fashion. I feel that this is possibly the most adult oriented animation movie they have ever created, and it also does a lot for representation of non stereotypical femininity and female protagonists..
Personally I love how low this song is because it's one of the first disney female songs that fits perfectly in my singing vocal range
I sing tenor(technically contralto since I'm female) and alto
I got super emotional when I watched this song. But really the best song in the movie in my opinion. Straight 🔥. And who wouldn't want a flying unicorn donkey?...
I completely understand why you felt so moved watching this video! It really is such an amazing song 😊 And haha they do look quite fabulous, so I can’t really moan! 🤷🏾♂️😂
I don't know how many times I've listened to this song on a loop and Luisa is my favorite character. Thanks a lot for this video I loved how you react and explain everything. Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴
I’ve listened to this song a lot too 😂 She’s such a great character! And oh thank you so much!! 🥰 Thank you for supporting the channel 😊
Shes my fav too :D
2:17 The genre is Reggaeton - The Latinized version of Jamaican Dancehall.
"I'm as strong as the crust of the Earth is" is a great line because the crust of the Earth is its' weakest part. We just assume it's the toughest part because it's the only part we interact with/see. We assume Luisa is tough because she's buff, but she's just as emotionally vulnerable as anyone else. I feel like most families have a Luisa in them. (Also to answer your question: the movie takes place somewhere inbetween 1940-1955 according to the director and the artbook, so the Titanic sinking would've already happened and would be accurate to the timeline.)
Maybe my very favorite thing about watching fellow singers/musicians react to stuff like this is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for us vocalists to NOT try to copy the bits we like 😆 like in this one, every musician reactor just HAS to copy Jessica's little riff at "the crushing weight"
Luisa:telling madrigal how her family expect so much of her
Him:💃💃
Hahaha it’s too good of a song not to groove to! 🤣
Hi this song reflects how powerful we feel to do anything for your little brothers and sisters. I am colombian, aldo the oldest sister, and yes, I see myself in this song, but it is not bad. There are expectations as the oldest child but you feel good beeing a model for your sibilings and helping them to overcome any obstacles 💯🥰👨👩👧👦👍🏻💪
I love the music reactors that have a piano or other instrument just off to the side to better explain what they're hearing.
My favorite song of the movie! 😍
It’s such a good song! I’ve listened to it so many times 😂
I really enjoyed your reaction!!! *Surface Pressure* is definitely my favorite of all the amazing music in *Encanto.* I hope you watch the entire movie (if you haven't already). Much love! 🎵🤗🥰🎶
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 I have watched it now; such a brilliant film! 😃
The symbolism of the Unicorn Donkey speaks directly to her character it is in itself a visual oxymoron where it is both a fantasy and a workhorse. The unicorn is a fantasy and not practical, whereas the Donkey is anything but that. The pressure of the Anxiety she feels to maintain being the bigger sister and taking on the burden from the entire family when she would rather just relax and live a more fantasy life in her eyes. Great reaction to this song. Liked and Subscribed.
i love this movie all the songs have a grate beat and meaning to them i recommend listening to all of them. First time hearing this song i didn't know how deep it was, but rehearing it again on you tube with the words on screen and reading whats being sung hits you in the feels, i hope they make more songs like this.
Honestly having listened to all of them now and having watched the film, I can truly appreciate how brilliantly written they are! 😃
Amé cómo sientes la música… 🥰🥰 además viste el unicornio burro!! Te ganaste mi suscripción 🥰🥰🇨🇴🇨🇴
Haha how could I miss the donkey unicorn?! 😂 Thank you for subscribing! 🥰
It was this song when I realized the music was LMM when I was first watching this movie having avoided the music posted all over YT.
Those donkeycorns underscore the idea that getting to experience peace, relaxation and pleasure is just a fantasy to her. She'll sooner experience flying donkey unicorns than relaxation.
The "Oh yes girl " reaction has me! 😂😂
I call the unicorn donkeys ”donkeycorns”. It just makes me laugh
Lin Manuel Miranda and his team pulled a lot from reggaeton and latin pop for this song. That's the vibe you can't quite put your finger on.
Loved your reaction!! Look forward to more videos from you😊
Thank you so much! 😊 More are definitely coming!
"There's a unicorn donkey."
Anyone else rewind this part multiple times?
Something off topic, but it's funny and it proves that he is a musician when he was looking for some music notes while doing an amazing random melody
When all those rocks were coming at Luisa her face looks sooo cute
Didn't expect to find another Jamaal (spelled with two a's at the end) on RUclips! Just happened to find this video after watching Encanto. This music is gonna be in my head for at least a couple more weeks!
Encanto is inspired by the clothes, the food, the fauna and landscapes in Colombia South America and the magical culture of Colombia. I really liked your reaction
Subscribed! Great video :D
Thank you for subscribing!
🤣🤣 I get it but it's a Tuesday calm down 🤣🤣 lol I already love this channel Iam 30sec in
You seeing unicorn donkeys is an issue? What are unicorns supposed to look like? Have you seen a unicorn before? 😄 What about seeing the name Madrigal on a ship that looks very much like the Titanic? What are these things doing in this movie? What could this all be about? What pressure? Lol Good reaction Jamaal! I LOVE this song!
Hahaha could there be something deeper going on here?! 😧😂 Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
Breaking a boulder was just to make a points; this teen literally moves stone bridges and churches.
Just pay atention in the lyrics, is literally there what the song is about
Oh yeah the lyrics were written brilliantly to convey that message 😊
i really don't understand how so many ppl get the vibe to dance while listening to this song, it just makes me sad, because the lyrics are so touching lmao
Me too. I was like dude are you not hearing the lyrics. The woman is this close to breaking completely, it's not a pop dance number.
It could be because it has a very reggaeton sound to it during the verse. Even Louisa and the mules are dancing to it. Dancing in and of itself is freeing which is an aspect to this song. I definitely wish people would pay more attention to the lyrics because they are beautiful but I wouldn’t say it’s out there for people to want to dance to it.
I feel the same but with some ppl it didnt register too him how this song had a meaning behind it cause when I first listen too it, it didnt register too me until I listened to it again and I almost cry
Wonderfull Job!!!!
Thank you! 😊😊
Tik tok dancing was actually done by performers who go on Tik Tok and do that. They brought them in and motion captured them and imposed Donkys and Louisa over them.
Omg I love you!
Nueva suscriptora!!!
Muchas gracias!! 😊
I honestly cried when I first heard this cause I relate-
This song was so deep.
Oh it is, almost too deep for how good the song is 😂
Yes Jessica sings this
I love from 🇨🇴🇨🇴
She is strong, as a tribute to a Colombian olympic weightlifter.
It's totally a tiktok challenge. It's amazing.
The movie takes place at the turn of the century so if it happened it only just so, but they probably wouldn’t have heard about it being a little isolated
One thing thats americans dont stand are about the donkeys.
Here in South America, donkeys are
are synonymous with slave labor, animal for heavy load. That's like Luísa, a character from Latin America, for that are donkeys in her songs. She feels like them.
ur so underrated
7:34 idkw but the repeated pressure reminds me of Oompa Loompa's song.
Luisa ❤️ relatable
Please do a reaction video of Voice Play singing We Don't Talk About Bruno.
It's her power to have super strength🙄🙄
Jamal:When your the golden child or perfect child They (idk bla bla bla) but under the surface thats not how you feel
Me :HOLD UP THATS LITERALY ISABELA-
You need to react to Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton and In The Heights
Have you seen the movie @Jamaal X Music? The movie is sooo good I’ve seen it like five times already it’s so good it’ll have you cry
I love 🇨🇴😘😘😘👑🤩😍
Ya check out “ what else can I do”
I have! Go to my channel to check it out 😊
This song is about Luisa who is the strong one
Haha she is also not nervous 😉😂
Unicorn donkey, or has been dubbed in a fb Encanto group “Unidonks” XD
#Donkeycorns
She is very much NOT ok
I feel like you missed a lot of the meaning of the lyrics. I understand it’s musician reacts but you kept pausing and it chopped up the lyrics so much you didn’t seem to be paying attention to them at all. I think you’re great and super entertaining but some songs you have to listen to the lyrics And they can transport you
i like this song but it feels to much like everything else thats out there right now and more forced. not my fav of the song
