    The rhythm of Beat It, the riffs of Dirty Diana. The soul of Prince, the grooves and vocals of the Police. This is the recontextualisation of some of the best moments of the 70s + 80s for a modern audience. Really, really incredible songwriting and performance.

      His live performances overall are unreal. Saw him perform live in October and it’s just like every single song is elevated in his live versions. His song how many miles is one I enjoy, but I didn’t really come back to it often when I’d listen to his album but after hearing it live, I fell in love worth it. It’s like that for every song live.

    • @MrLukec16
      @MrLukec16 Месяц назад +1

      I saw him live as well, and he is one of those artists that is truly better live. Its so much more full sounding and makes you fall in love with songs maybe that weren't in heavy rotation on the studio version. For me, it was Little Bit More and How Many Miles. Both great songs, but I would gravitate more towards Candy, DNM, Rylee and I, I Want, and Dream Police when listening to his album, but hearing Little Bit More and How Many Miles live just made me appreciate the artisty of them more and got even more hooked.

      @ it’s because half of this album sounds like farting. It’s a demo, a very promising and soulful demo. More like a low fi Prince knock off with a bit more authentic blue eyed soul with good marketing. However, I must admit, the songs do stick. I like Mk.Gee! Brat is no skips.

    Discovered him earlier this year when "Are You Looking Up" was used on The Bear soundtrack. I became instantly obsessed, so much that I bought 2 VIP tables (8 seats) to see him live in Hollywood, and dragged a bunch of friends with me to the show. His sound is influenced by The Police, Genesis, Prince, and so many more, but is never derivative of them. His unique production style and guitar modulation really make him stand out from other artists. Can't wait for my vinyl to show up next week!

    • @Grawlix_Jungle
      @Grawlix_Jungle Месяц назад

      imho it’s because for a lot of the songs (like this one) he streamlines and rearranges them to be in a more guitar-forward and arena rock-esque package, whereas on the album he’s more interested in exploring and experimenting with different textures and fidelities. Which a lot of artists do ofc, and he’s really adept at it
