pop music is often called a guilty pleasure.
i love it without shame.
few things in life give me deeper music chills than a perfectly executed pop song.

this year, i've heard a lot of pop music that gives me the brain-gasms that i used to get from music when I was younger. the most recent entry...

^ robin thicke, "give it to me."



every time the hook comes back around,
they add more layers of synths.
and I just ran this song back 5 times so I could hear the gradual buildup to the
synthesizer explosion at 3:52.


i love pop music. it just makes you feel...




good.

but i made it literally thirty seconds into that song. lol! sorry.

but it totally works for me in a gwen stafani "hollaback girl" sorta way.
not much going on in terms of chords...

but it still finds ways to grow.

The Chorus though is incredible like my man says.

it might not have been received as widely as Thicke but as a whole I feel like the songs being written here were done with a pension for accessibility and thought out catchy melodies, Perfect. maybe not but close to it.

that 'OOOH!' right in the center of 'Don't Stop Til You Get Enough' is perfect. i've posted about it before. i like watching ppl dance to the song b/c folks tend to have some pose ready for that moment. and then the record is just on fire in that 2nd half as the adlibs come more frequently.

fuck you.

>Enough' is perfect. i've posted about it before.

heh, it's been a good 3-4? years since i've seen you mention it..but i remember you writing this like every few months or so during the early years.

and i agree with you (is this the same "ooh" sampled in Blurred Lines?)

the 'oooh' from 'Blurred Lines' probably comes from 'Got To Give It Up'.

fuck you.

the knock on the door before valen's guitar solo on "beat it."

the dissonant harmonies at the end of the lady in my life
"ohh girl let me keep you warm. you are the LADY..."

the off key adlibs in the middle of "i can't help it."
"i cant help it, if i wanted too... i wunt elp it, eeeeen it i cud!"


the synthesizer build up that occurs while he's spinning on the table before he does the "ow!" that breaks the windows in the middle of smooth criminal.


the remember the time video mix, with just the finger snaps
"do you remember girl?! *snap* *snap* on the phone. you and me!
till dawn! 2 or 3. a-what-about-us. GIRL!"

the synths that happen right before the fade out on "human nature" after the final plead of "whyy"

i could go on and on.
feel free to add on.

like these songs that are already fantastic just explode with these new sonic layers that take the songs in another direction. The end of "Hear Em Say", the xylophone on "Hey Mama", his last verse on "Gone"...this album man...

i had that entire album on repeat for a year.

The chorus beat reminds me of some Skrillex or Springbreakers OST shit, and the chorus beat sounds like something off of Justice's first LP.

My favorite song off the new Thicke album has to be Stupid 4 U (even tho it sounds like an Amp Fiddler impersonation). The layers work for me here.

As far as the original point of your post, I feel you. Can't think of an example off the top, but I'll post when they come to me.

Don't eem lie, you damn near drove into oncoming traffic right?

Right?
