@ALCHESTERTAGWALAN okay...everything is a campagin and promo for smth now, i just like vids like this
Check Mixing With The Masters! They also do breakdowns on the process. :)

Personally this video is the reason why please please please is superior than espresso, the vocals, the production is totally genius
@@sadman1143 I always felt that way! The Grammy museum performance of espresso slaps tho. Before that performance I was MEH about espresso
Now let's not pit two absolute divas against one another 😭 I refuse to turn Espresso and Please Please Please be made rivals
@@SalmaGhanem-b7v i love espresso it's such a funny pop song but please please please's vocals are another level
@@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices hahaha yes i agree but i wanted to speak from a vocals perspective
@@sadman1143 yeah the vocals are great! I love when sab shows them off!! I also rlly like the story and production in please please please. It makes me love it even more ! Also the mv is sooo well-shot
There is nothing cooler than listening to creative people explain their process. His passion is contagious! I love that jack acknowledged Sabrina’s dreamy vocals. She does not get enough credit!
i love just how absolutely nerdy he sounds. like he just starts going off and trying to excitedly explain how they work
You know, of all the pop girlies jack works with, i think sabrina is the one who fits his style of dreamy shimmery synth pop the best
This particular song has 80s synth tho, not dreamy sparkly lol, unless you want to call it an 80s version
..
@@lessismore8533the 80s invented dreamy shimmery synth pop lol… what are you on about
Not sure why Jack gets hate, he’s an exemplar of a great music producer. Recently fell in love with his work. Great work Jack
His work with Taylor is mid
@@lucasb9285Says more about Taylor than Jack tbh
@@whydidimakethis9417 exactly, he can clearly flex his capabilities but sometimes the artists or songs don’t require the vast possibilities. It’s maybe why he stays busy because of his flexibility and not an ego driven style or approach to every project.
@@lucasb9285Taylor isn’t Mid Incel
he is a one trick pony and his sound is getting old
people can say whatever they want about jack, but he really is a musical genius
What do people say?
He's won producer of the year at the grammys three years in a row. I think 5 times in total.
he's the best!!
@@nicocuevas2005they say his production is bland, boring, and overdone. i’ve seen a lot of people say they’re tired of him producing so many of the pop songs we hear today but i love his work.
No
He did a good job with the harmonies. Definitely sounds like heaven
dude the dolly comes through so clear in please please please
If this doesnt win Record or Song of the year...😭
It definitely should
if it's doesn't hopefully it's bc RAYE or Chappell won ❤️
I'm not interested in this type of music, but his passion is contagious, and I learned a lot.
Sabrina Carpenter voice > Taylor Swift voice
@@Nor-p5vwhy compare, they both beautiful their way
@@MrJetix-su7qnthat “both beautiful “ redundant cliche, still doesn’t mean ppl can’t have preferences..as long as there’s respect
I'm not usually either, but this song completely won me over. It's really brilliantly done.
I’m a house DJ and producer who doesn’t consume pop but I love learning from producers in all different areas. Time and time again I see the love for the human touch being appreciated by these great producers. I took away from this video the passion to create not just music but soundscapes for listeners to peel like a never ending onion. The more you do for the love of the art the more tidbits you leave behind for listens to unravel from every single listen and that’s the beauty of our journey as appreciators of music.
I love that he speaks to the emotional impressions he wants to achieve. And he’s so incredibly passionate about creating music, it’s infectious!
I love learning how songs were made and jacks work is amazing
11:05 « whatever the fuck that is » LOL .. seriously a brilliant song and production
It felt like he surprised himself as well when he played that glissando riff
This is art, and sound is the ink. Anyone who’s truly passionate about their production and their sound, you will be able to feel it through the music. It’s a next level of attention to detail and sound design.
he started campaigning for the grammy let's win another producer of the year
Why? What’s the point? Aren’t other producers deserving an award and some recognition? We know who JA is
@@lfior its not about who knows him though, it’s the fact he deserves it for his work and growth and evolution as someone who was told over and over he’d never amount to anything as a producer. With the amount of layers, and hidden things you don’t normally hear that add so much texture and immerse the listener into the experience of a song over and over while doing it differently is something that deserves to be recognized. This is something you especially see in his produced tracks on reputation. Hell, getaway car has him moaning in the back and you can’t tell unless you hear the stems. Yet it immerses the listener and adds texture. And quite frankly it’s something I’ve never seen before Jack. So yes, he deserves it. Because he worked his entire life for this, and should get recognition for his batshit crazy abstract ideas that make pop masterpieces.
Shoutout to whoever uploaded this in mono
lmao
It's a masterpiece. Interesting to see how sounds from decades ago easily hold on to today's listening expectations, and hits are still being made using all those well engineered instruments
For sure! I always felt like this song has a 70's vibe to it.
I can’t comprehend what it’s like to have a brain like this
Honestly many ppl just mess around in a keyboard until they find something that sounds cool and turn they use it..
@@lessismore8533 Let's admit that antonoff is a genius
It’s funny after a while you can’t remember what it’s like to not be wired like this. I remember the first years I was producing I could literally feel my brain rewiring itself to hear music differently, I don’t even remember what it’s like to hear music as a whole and not a collection of parts.
Love hearing about Jack's process, his innate musical ability and great instincts. He's crafted a memorable track. And he's right - Sabrina's voice and performance are wonderful. Thanks for posting.
Now I’m gonna be listening the song with a whole different perspective! And it’s gonna sound even more beautiful now.
what the heck i've been listening to and obsessing over this song for the past 24 hours, wondering how they made it and now i come across this video to answer all my questions!! such a good song
I love watching these behind the scenes things with songs…it just blows my mind how technical a song can be! Beautiful! 🎶🎼🎵
This Producer is the most accessible modern studio cat who just told us how to do it: "Leave Space" just super cool how much serious fan base increase happens because of these artists' willingness to share. 😮
How did Jack go from being that kid playing the guitar outside record stores with Nate to this award winning producer. Amazing. I love his work with Fun and his own records
This man has GOT to be neurodivergent. A literal genius. This is awesome! Thank you, Jack for your brain.
I know right? I had that exact feeling, he has to be hahaha and I fucking love it.
bro what 😭🙏
He seems on the spectrum
Me when I encounter an expert with deep knowledge of his craft:
WOW THIS GUY MUST BE AUTISTIC!!!
@madslagsallupinthisgaff I think people may think it's more because of the mannerisms, and neurodivergent doesn't have tp be autistic
I know Swifties (myself included) always rag on Jack Antonoff, but I recently went through all the TS songs he produced and a lot of them are my favorites. When he's on, he is ON. He's so good at what he does and going from something like fortnight to please please please really show his range in pop music.
I wish the orchestral sections would also be released bcoz they are soooooo beautiful and yeah just great🤩please please please release them too
He’s right, I never noticed it before but it’s such an ABBA song ❤
please make more vids like this! One of the reasons y i love listening to diff versions of the song,instrumental/background vocals/harmonies
check out song exploder, podcast/netflix show with the same concept as these videos
Been waiting for this since the song came out
You can infer that he's such a great and sought-after producer not just because he gets how to connect the human and the tech elements of music in cool ways, but also because he can explain it so articulately and relatably.
Oh that flute is beautiful 🤩 who knew I needed a classical version of this song!
Always kind of liked Antonoff. This video made me love him.
What a great producer. I admire his craft
I learn so much listening to Jack’s chaotic genius
Thank you for creating and sharing this video. So inspiring to see!
Thank you Variety for putting out a great substantive video on this vs Mix with the Masters “trailers” 🙏🏼🥺
The beginning is so 80s synth to me. I’m addicted to this song it’s so catchy more than espresso for me!
Happy to understand why I’m so addicted to this song!
One of the best producers of all time.
😭😭😭
This guy is the reason that all modern pop music sounds the same.
I want you to go through every album this guy has produced and say that again. Dance Fever by Florence and the Machine sounds very different from Melodrama by Lorde, or Midnights by Taylor Swift. Jack had some Jackisms (listen to Bleachers and then listen to Part of the Band by The 1975, or Fortnight by Comeback by Carly Rae Jepsen) but he is a producer who meets artists where they are and helps them make the music sound the way they want
The 15 hours you spend for that 1 second of music is what separates you from the rest. World class🔥
I have no idea what Jack is saying audio wise, but I love this!!! More from Jack !!!
Please please please is my most listened song of the year!!!!!
No wonder I love this song so much. I love all those influences 😊
i looooooooove when producers dissect songs!!! I can see how proud they are!
I recently got to work in the video crew for Bleachers at Madison Square Garden. This guy is no joke. I wanted to write him off but now I’m sold. He’s the real deal.
Amazing Video Thank You Jack For Sharing These Priceless Insights Of The Making!!
He is such a gem of a human being 💫 super cool video!!
More Jack Antonoff!
nice to see the people who actually make the music getting some recognition
Jack has always produced in a nostalgia fueled way and I’ve liked that for his solo music. I think when he works with other artists it’s very hit or miss (lorde being a hit for me, taylor swift not as much).
Either way he’s definitely a very passionate and talented guy and if you think about it most of the great producers have had huge hits or misses (Rick Rubin especially).
He’s the real MVP. Didn’t just sing please a hundred times. Made it feel real.
Everytime I says ohhh I love this song and search for writer and producer there is Jack Antonoff in it , im like damn this guy is musical genius. 😅
Well, producer is the engine behind every song. Not the songwriters. Producers produce cool beats and accompaniment music that stimulate songwriters to write. Without them, most songwriters would have writer’s block. This is why Taylor swift changed producer whenever she changed change her musical style. From Liv Rose to Max Martin and Jack Antonoff to Aaron Dressner. They are the true musical geniuses.
My jaw dropped! You are incredibly talented Jack. It makes me start writing songs 🎶
Dude is a genius
Oh i could warch hours of producers talking about what they do
Grammy coming for this song
I LOVE JACK ANTONOFF
Jack has great taste, I've been making music for a long time and agree with all or most of his ideas and references. I can tell that he gets it. A lot of modern producers don't
it's the verse 2 having a key change matching the vibe of having a fun idea
why do they never talk about vocal tuning. thats a huge part of the sound
if you just mean getting the vocal on-pitch then i think they don't talk about it because it's not very interesting and/or this song doesn't get very creative with it.
More the pitch of the sound wouldn’t you say? Not exactly much character in a microtone, is there?
@@BabadookJesus autotuned vs pitch corrected vs raw vocals sound different but we have no idea what they did to get this vocal sound. Its not raw you can hear that.
@@RickyBascom I assume by “pitch corrected” you mean a melodyne-type plugin. And no. If you have a great take, the tuning plugins don’t have to work hard at all. They really aren’t much of the sound.
@@BabadookJesus the vocal stacks sound thin like they have all been put on the exact same line. thats apart of the sound. harmonies and stacks do not sound like that from older music before pitch correction
She should release a version with just acoustic guitar and flutes
Producer of the Year, indeed. Producer of the Decade.
Love seeing this breakdown. 2 amazing artists!!!
Such a great and informative video, thank you for making this! All of that work really does shine through, the production in the song is such a treat!
I just KNEW this had ELO influences. So glad he confirmed it. Reminded me of bits of their song Confusion
this is spectacular
her stacked vocals sound like vintage Olivia Newton John!! absolute velvet.
Holy cow, to be able to hear with those ears.
I personally call something like that as A FUCKIN' SERIOUS THING! Amazing how he can explain about hooks created in a plugin and instruments recordered with a huge budget (and he saw those things wasn't working and threw to the garbage or used just a few seconds). This guy is a giant producer yet in the pop music industry and I think that he will do so much more good music.
Oh jack ... They could never make me hate you
Loved this breakdown so much
Що тут скажеш, ще один геній 🔥👍🏻 Пісня чудова, якість взагалі вогонь. Як вона зроблена! 🔥
So inspiring!
Brilliant 🔥🔥🔥
jack is so special
Record of the year for me
please bring back FUN.
Don’t know what the fuck he was talking about but incredible
Everything that's special about Jack Antonoff came out of a checkbook.
It's the song crafting that carries so much weight. I can't impress upon you how impressive this man's thoughts are to any producers process. Equally, as riveting was his description of the elements of her vocals. Most don't realize this. Sabrina has been in the game for at least 10 years. This just happened to be her breakout year. The strong song crafting had everything to do with it.
Dang this is so cool thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
He is a nerd by definition, and its absolutely brilliant
Brilliant.
On one hand I do love the LinnDrum because the vibe and tone is so classic. on the other hand i HATE it because it's so thin, I wish there was a LITTLE layering and sweetening going on to where it has just a little more punch but still keeps the vintage sound. the rest of the production is so nice, that's the only small gripe I have with his style in general is sometimes he leans too hard on just (seemingly) raw vintage drum machines. not everything needs to be HUGE all the time obviously but there's been a handful of his songs over there years that make me feel this way. But that's just me!
That Juno is absolutely addictive
absolute genius
Beautiful!
Loved this video!!
8:05 just plain beautiful
so fascinating. love this type of stuff.
I love this man. He's one of the best producers. Lana, Taylor, Clairo, and now Sabrina??!!
amazing, thanks for sharing!!
More of these please please please! I did keep getting distracted by Jack’s wired mouse. Yikes. Although i do respect his commitment to low latency mouse action.
The way he talks about all this concepts, I’m really able to see or I guess hear exactly what he is talking about.
I think honestly the man is just saying pop music is bipolar as fuck and we’re all here for it 😂
He is something!
