Hi, guys, this is a Umu from ReacttotheK, and today, I'll be reacting to...
Kriesha Chu's Like Paradise music videa
Sorry if I butchered that name
Oh, so this is the performance version. I'm not sure if there's a nnnnn...
normal music video, but this is what popped up in my recommendation box, so I just clicked on it
And I haven't heard any of her music before or Flow Blow's music since it was produced by him, so yeah
I'm very excited to listen to this
I love it whenever songs start out super muffled
Okay
I like the interaction between that "baby synth" in her voice
Right- Here comes the lower percussion samples building up to the chorus
Nice vocal harmonies
Kind of like that throbbing- almost throbbing guitar
Ooh! That was something
Interesting
I like this chorus
Wasn't-
That right there! That was good. That-
Very unexpected, and I love it whatever they take a super
I guess, I don't seem normal sounding
But like you know diatonic, expected, predictable song
and then they just throw in something really unexpected, weird
diminished, or augmented
during the chorus or just
little flecks of weirdness
I love when songs do that
like a lot of Loona's recent songs do that. They're more and more generic
More and more
More and more generic
But they do throw in the weirdness once in a while
I'd have liked the guitar to actually arpeggiate, or something to arpeggiate in this pre-chorus
'Cause right now It's just like- It was just like, two notes or something behind her vocals
It would've created a lot worth motion up to the chorus
Listen to this like
[mimics]
The bass and the synth does just some weird chromatic motion stuff
And the chorus
Hello, bridge
I wonder how many pop songs have snaps in the bridge
I think that'll be
My next research p- Okay, hello
Secondary dominance
I mean we didn't modulate, but that was some nice motion in the bridge
There's some- Yeah, also the chorus some nice (?)
chromatic motion like once. But the rest of the song is mostly diatonic
What I mean by diatonic, it means it's like, in the key, nothing unexpected
They just take notes from the scale
That the key is based on
Well, we call it the key signature
Ooh! She can sing low too
I was pleasantly surprised with that song
It has everything a catchy pop song would need
with synths that you're used to hearing, like, you know, the most popular baby voice synth and
Um, the
[mimics]
Like that synth during the chorus
I've heard that before in many pop songs, but the notes that that synth in the bass were playing were
really nice
Let's lis- Let me just point out that specific spot if you didn't get it when I was listening to it in the first place
0:54 of the music video
Yeah, something weird happens
I'd have to sit down at a piano and figure it out to be able to explain exactly what
happened, because I don't have perfect pitch
Um, but I really liked that moment
It just adds so much more
Originality, I feel, to songs, when you decide to take a small risk with the music
[clap, clap, clap, clap]
Yes!
Thanks for watching this reaction video. I will see you guys later
Bye!
