  • Philly songwriting duo Marian Hill’s 2016 single “Down” was first single off the duo’s debut album, Act One.
    It was featured in an Apple commercial for the new AirPods and has blown up in the weeks since. One half of the duo Jeremy Lloyd recently sat down with Genius for the latest episode of Deconstructed to break down the hit.

    Producers do so much but are still slept on.

    • @gottagorant507
      @gottagorant507 7 лет назад +112

      Well he's not slept on if he's actually the co-main artist
      Marian Hill is a duo of him and the singer (Samantha Gongol)

      GottaGoRant most ppl think "marian hill" is just the girl

    • @ransmomebloke1949
      @ransmomebloke1949 7 лет назад +1

      Reminds me of the same confusion when Karmin came on the scene. Everyone thought Karmin was just the girl.

    • @soundvault6856
      @soundvault6856 7 лет назад +1

      Skratchtube still, many people think that. These duo's management teams dont help since they almost only show the singer on the music videos (old karmin music videos)

      True,but sometimes band members don't want to be in the forefront.Pharell has always been the front man for the Neptunes but Chad still shares the same success without the vanity. A lot of producers and musicians choose to live a recluse lifestyle.

    I hear the song when it came out and thought it was ok. I just listened to it today on some great speakers and wow! the song is amazing. The vocals are perfect and when the beat drops, I am in heaven. Please put on some good head phones or listen with good speakers to appreciate the song.

    They need to add a 'love' button now - I freaking love how he broke this song down - 'production is the songwriting as much as the lyric...' as the channel says - genius. They will make great music for a long time to come if he keeps producing like this.

  • @goddesszunique103
    @goddesszunique103 6 лет назад

    This is kind of like an ASMR video itself. He's not the most specific, but each of the individual sounds and how he breaks down the process of arranging the music is very fascinating. And soothing.

  • @youngsuit

    i like how marian hills songs like this one and I Got It, have these pretty involved "beat drops," but they don't conflict with the song or sound like someone just pasted a drop onto a verse like a lot of remixes seem to do
