Was wondering how quick you’d review this gem! Fusion shuffle funk? Henrik was insane. Aaron might have some chops! Jonah has the runs! 🤔👍🏽 Am I hearing some George Benson in this?
Great re-harmonization & great performance as expected! These guys are all virtuoso grade musicians in their prime so I would expect nothing less. As a pre boomer male from Chicago I remember when this song was 1st released. Although I was fortunate enough not to live it some of my friends weren't so lucky so I witnessed this deprivation on a daily basis in my youth. That's why I'm surprised that they sanitised this song by leaving out one of the most powerful and potent verses in the song. For me this reflects a lack of integrity on the part of everyone connected to the production including Stevie Wonder who must have had final approval. This song is a mini documentary of the conditions then and rapidly returning now! It's a song of protest to be heard and acted upon, not some happy little ditty! One of the 1st of its kind! For me this could have been killer if they would have fully embraced the gravity of the original work! That said it's still not too bad Ha Ha!
Couldn't have said it any better. The context of the lyrics matters and the musicality seems to matter more here. Should've just done an instrumental the whole way through or choose a different song to cover.
They left the entire story of what the song is about out! If they didn't want to do a song discussing racism, poverty. and the "justice" system, they should've picked another song.
@@HannahBanahah-zo8xs Wow! Someone that shares my concerns! Didn't expect validation of my views. Thanks or as I now say in the UK "Cheers"! They did. However, make a mini musical reference to "Signed sealed delivered". I wonder what they would have done with that little ditty, Ha Ha!?
I'm flying from Denver to London in March to see them again! I saw them in 2014, then again this year, but I'm not waiting another 10 years for them to come back to the US! They're my favorite band of all time! 🥰
L'EP est assez court, mais il n'en est pas moins incroyable! Et le fait qu'ils en fassent un ne me gêne pas du tout puisque ce n'est pas leur premier, et que le précédent (phoenix) était tout aussi excellent! En tout cas, j'espère bien les voir en live. Si tout se passe bien, je serai à paris le 13 mars. Ce sera la première fois!
You’ve said it all, Jeff! No more words left…. And this thing swings so hard, and is so in the pocket! Man, Henrik, as much as he doesn’t think so himself, is my new jazz bass god -how freaking amazing is his solo in there?? OMG! All three of them are stupendously amazing……! Aron’s ‘solos’ in the bridge sections, oh lord… 😱 Jonah’s singing, -come on!, going up a semitone with each verse - what the…? His keys 🤯 the whole freakin arrangement 😵💫😵💫😵💫 And if that’s not enough, they’re having so much fun with this… And yeah, who gets to shed in that outro?? I wish to high heaven that Stevie Wonder will hear this one day 🔥🧡🔥 Thanks for being there when this dropped, Jeff. Your comments and your appreciation are one of a kind 👍🧡👍
The first time I ever heard of Dirty Loops was watching a young lady by the name of Marta Altesa do a bass cover of "Circus'. I was blown away and everything I've heard by them is out of this world. They are on a another level.
@@EeJayLiveries whoa 2014, way back in the beginning! They would’ve changed, also their concert format, since then -but still they’re three of the nicest dudes on the planet 💥☺️👍😎
Great reaction to their outstanding cover! I have not heard of this group before watching your reaction, I will be heading over to their channel to hear more of what they have done. Your comment about learning their own cover to be able to do the video shoot and make it look perfect is the same thing that i have heard Audra, the lead voclist from First to Eleven talk about as well. They do the same thing for their videos. One of these days i will have to send you a behind the scenes video from Concrete Castles which is made up of three of the members of First to Eleven It shows them filming a video and you can hear them actually playing to a click track in order to keep their timing. I'm one of those guys who is interested in the behind the scenes technical stuff.
@@georgepozega5267 me too, I’d be super interested. Thanks for that heads-up of Concrete Castles’ behind the scenes work. Btw, I always think that it can be very funny, that process, and those three Dirty Loops guys always seem to are having a lot of fun when making their vids -suspicious 😉
So, Jeff my friend, here we go again. Amazing of course, seconding everything you said, but I was also so blown away by Jonah’s singing, his brilliance and respect to the original. It’s hard to find any singer doing a Stevie song this beautiful, and I’m sure Stevie will listen to it. One question, do you think they’ve asked Stevie Wonder for his blessing to do this? Or you could ask Jonah next time if they had any communication with him? In my mind, being as old as I am, Stevie Wonder has always been the best singer of all times, together with his songs. Anecdote: I jumped school in 1976 and began working in a record store in August, and soon after ”Songs in the key of life” came out. Still remember what an out of this world experience that album was. Hope you had the time to read the credits, the craziest so far, especially the schedule for celebrating Henrik’s 40:th birthday. Hilarious!
Holy cow!!! Wow!! The groove, the vocals, the keys work, That bass solo!! Magnificent. The whole thing P.S the fact they have to redo the stuff/licks/solos for the videos.. is mind blowing. That’s absolutely insane.
I'm so glad this EP came out before the concert they're giving in about a week in Aarhus - which I'll be lucky enough to attend. They are amazing live. Can't wait! Thanks for a great reaction/analysis! And definitely check out those credits for a good laugh 🙂
As soon as I saw this video come out I knew you'd be all over it. Let's pray these guys stay together cause one can only imagine how much more incredible they will be over time
Oh no! The water slide again! Hearing you react to DL gives me joy. Jeff! If you haven’t reacted to Ben Abelman with friends, doing a medley of the Loopified Album. Please do. With blessings Micael
WOW!! He sounds just like Stevie, Amazing. The vibe is crazy good. Keep em coming. The jazz feel is pure musical genius. Two thumbs up from me 👍👍. Cheers from Tucson.
DO READ the credits part with Henrik's 40th birthday schedule. Observe the length of each segment. Hilarious! This song is sort of laid back, for being Dirty Loops, isn't it, or is it just so in my head? Nice form of laid back, indeed! It is so nice hearing you talk about Aron, Henrik, and Jonah! Thanks for expressing it so well!
I knew you would be the first reaction to this video. It had just came out for a hour when i got the notification. Its always like Christmas when they release a new song.
I agree, it seems shooting the videos is the hardest part of the DL work flow. It's interesting to see how their music has developed over the years. It seems to me it started out as an earnest attempt at mainstream pop success, and over the years they have adapted to the fact that a large part of their fan base consists of musicians. Of course they haven't abandoned pop, but they do appear to play to their strengths - they know what type of bones to throw us. Thankfully it's a large enough target group. But I still think they nab their share of "civilians".
I love how they always mix the snare like +1.5dB from where you might expect... and he hits the drums pretty hard, so there's always a nice snappity thwack from the snare in their tunes...
Here we go again!!! I so love their take on classics of different styles their incredible musical knowledge which expresses itself in the reharmonization and all the rhythmic shenanigans they are able to pull off. To be frank (I´m an old bloke) this stuff and also their "Phoenix" project speaks more to me than the newest 2 songs "Run Away" and "When The Time Is right". There is too much happening on these ones for me, although masterly done, no question. When it comes to DL reviews, there is only one who I put on 1st place and that´s you Jeff! Btw - and this is linked to DL and MJ amongst many other artists that shaped my musical life - today I learned that the great Quincy Jones died today, Oct 4th with the age of 91... man what a titan he was!!! Rest In Peace. You lived your life to the absolute fullest devoting it to music and supporting so many people which chose their way to being artists.
No doubt you would have gone back to have a closer look at the credits Jeff? If so, you would be so amused as I was at the telling of events at Henrik's fortieth. Sounds like it would have been a hoot. 🎉🎉
Now here's the thing, I've looked at just about all the reactions to this amazing rendition by Dirty Loops (yours first of course Jeff 😋) and still no-one has queried the toilet roll at the front of Aaron's kit? What's that all about? 🤨
Hey Peter, I’m no drummer whatsoever, but the toilet paper roll could have to do with a quote from Funkadelic’s song ‘What Is Soul?’, where they mention something being rolled up in toiletpaper…. But then, also maybe not at all! ☺️ Also, some drummers (and they say, nothing works just quite like it) have used large amounts of toilet paper to dampen their sound. Here Dirty Loops are sitting in the same room (just for that vid), and Aron’s 🔥 playing most likely would be blowing Jonah’s and Henrik’s ears off, would he not muffle his drum sounds with copious amounts of toilet paper 🤣😂 Oh my god, these guys, honestly ;)
@@fiddlestix3025 Ha ha, yeah. who knows with these dudes. Could mean anything at all. Maybe he (Aaron) had a dose of the "trots" and the roll was there just in case!🤣🤣
09:12 Regarding their humble nature - I am thinking this is the Scandinavian upbringing. Generally Nordic people don’t like to boast, but prefer to let their work speak for itself.

Wow. Fantastic 🔥🔥🔥
Outstanding Jeff !
They Do Not Miss...
More , please & thank you !
Hahaha loved the toiletpaper roll and Henrik’s last slap ending the song.😂😂
Was wondering how quick you’d review this gem!
Fusion shuffle funk?
Henrik was insane.
Aaron might have some chops!
Jonah has the runs! 🤔👍🏽
Am I hearing some George Benson in this?
The jazz bass solo sounded like a lot of 90's jazz guitar, Chuck Loeb, Rony Jordan, Metheny, Huges, all of them influenced by Wes, and Benson.
@@zatoichiMiyamoto was also thinking Stanley Jordan.
