    God dam it that vocals surprised me..

      @jangtheconqueror 5 лет назад +3

      I was even more surprised when I listened to what he usually sings. It's completely different to this

      Me too, kept looking for the cat with it's tail caught in the door.

    Pretty funky. A horn section would take the funk up several notches though

  • @urbankaizerz
    @urbankaizerz 5 лет назад +153

    I think his voice would make a good jamiroquai-esque funk cover.

    Three years later, the RUclips algorithm thinks I need to listen to this again.
    Once again, it was right 😁

    When the original is already funky and you don’t imagine it could get any funkier

    This is so syncopated, it's insane, and wonderful. I thought the title was impossible, but you actually did it!

      the point is to arrive late. the later the better. the trick is mark the time signature /32 and if you can /64.

      I think shes the sound engineer, I've seen her do back up vocals in the Gnarls Barkley cover, credits show Rett Madison.

    • @83alpinab9

      my bad.... Sound engineer is Caleb Parker.

      african music is riff on top of bass on top of percussive & it's all rhythm no matter how complex

  • @chrisf8904
    @chrisf8904 3 года назад +5

    I think a lot of todays 'bands' would be horribly exposed if they recorded live songs in this one take method. The fact that you can do this honestly & effortlesly in one take, enjoy every moment, and make most of the world smile and 'air' instrument of choice while your at it..... envious respect. Kudos

  • @Venezuelangel
    @Venezuelangel 5 лет назад +1

    that last moment when the keyboard player nods like "yeah, that's finally the one that goes on record" is gorgeous... So glad you guys kept it in the edit.

  • @lamusicamerodea
    @lamusicamerodea 5 лет назад +6

    Light on the snare, great idea. I like how they soften the feel of the song by making it slower.

    I hope you do more songs with this vocalist. His style is original and engaging, and the song really works. Not so enthusiastic about the video on this one, though.

    • @sakinakhan-le6wl
      @sakinakhan-le6wl 6 лет назад +3

      Charles Perigord although he sounds good, I feel his style is a lot like Adam Levine’s. Could be his inspiration.

    Damn this is sweet too. And the new guest vocalist is fantastic - everyone I've shared this with so far loves him as well - would love to see more of Paul in the future :)
    Also I would like to second a comment I read somewhere requesting the addition of some instrumental solos! You all seem super-talented and an extra 30 seconds here and there to show off wouldn't hurt lol. I actually really love the jams you guys have included in Wonderwall and I Feel Good etc :)

    @ZT--- 6 лет назад +20

    I'm torn because I like how the video turned out on this one but at the same time I really enjoy being able to see all members of the band playing at all times throughout the song so if I want to go back and watch a person do a certain riff I can.
