A lot of hot air being spewed here. Here stuff is 2 chords and childish lyrics written for 15 year old girls. If she didn't have engineers she would sound like a drunk high school kid. She simply cannot sing. Too much hype. Bob Dylan was a poet this woman is a wannabee and calling herself a poet is narcissism.
I love actual technicians, professionals and experts giving their takes, mixing and mastering is not understood enough. Can you review classic albums like Madonna´s American Life, Michaels HIStory or TLC´s Fanmail?
I feel like her vocal is way too sibilant and there is too much hi-end representation in her vocals on a few tracks. The de-essing isn't consistent for me. You can really hear this a lot in 03. "16 Carriages" and when you compare her "S", "T", "K" and other sibilant consonants with 05. "My Rose".
I hear what you mean. I think she records mostly on a 251 so it can get pretty sibilant if you aren't careful, especially with stacking. I've heard WAY worse though lol.
The transients usually refer to the initial peak of the sound. With guitar it can be the attack of picking the strings or the initial impact when being used to describe drum sounds.
1. American Requiem - lays the cards out on the table about the history of the country, bad ideas, good ideas, judgments. The racist judgment against her that no matter how skilled and qualified she is they will never accept her. Acoustic country: 2. Blackbird - Paul McCartney wrote it for black women during civil rights movement 3. 16 Carriages - tells the story of her childhood sacrifice 4. Protector - dedicated to her daughter 5. My Rose - dedicated to her son 6. Smoke Hour with Willie Nelson introduces the “Outlaw Western Country” portion of the album and begins to shape almost like a movie. 7. Texas Hold Em - meets a man and tells him to lay his guard down and be vulnerable 8. Bodyguard - she reveals her possessiveness over him 9. Dolly P - Dolly Parton actually requested Beyoncé cover this 2 years prior to the album coming out 10. Jolene - Beyoncé reveals her indignation over a woman trying to mess with her happy marriage and family 11. Daughter - she fantasizes over the murder of Jolene and then begins mourning in a haunting Italian Opera 12. Spaghetti - a social criticism towards American nationalists who used to call Spaghetti westerns made in Italy, unAmerican despite them hiring American actors, so she surprises everyone with a country accent rap song as a way to say, this is still country…. 13. Alligator Tears - calls out peoples fake criticism and victimization. 14. Smoke Hour 2 Introduces the Modern Pop Country part of the album 15. Just For Fun 16. 2 Most Wanted 17. LEVII JEANS 18. Flamenco 19. The Linda Martell Show - forewarns us that Beyoncé is warmed up and about to start doing what she does best, which is genre bending to perfection to create unique art. Let’s us know the rest of the album is for fun. 20. Yaya - displays historic successful fusion of genres that created rock 21. Oh Louisiana - Let’s us know that her Louisiana roots are what educate her musical choices Experimental Genre bending: 22. Desert Eagle 23. Riverdance 24. 2 Hands 2 Heaven 25. Tyrant 26. Sweet / Honey / Buckin 27. AMEN - a masterful close and social criticism that ties right back to the first song ❤️ MASTERPIECE!!!
Unique album layout How country used to be: Folk story telling: 1. Acoustic Country 2. Outlaw Western Country Modern country: 3. Pop Country Future Country: 4. Bey Country (genreless fusions)
You’re incrediblyyyy talented omg. You put words to all the cool tricks and such that I hear but can’t fathom how to describe in music production terms like you do. Well done!
I wish he shared his opinion on the Willie Nelson radio interludes☹️ But overall a great video and his preciseness and directness of his expertise is very reassuring and breath of fresh air from a lot of other RU-vid reactionaries
