a lot of the time i see bands keeping it simple so as to not overshadow their okay singer. what i see here is a drummer and bass going up to eleven, and the singer responding by going to twelve. we need more music like this, it's just too beautiful
True, but only problem with this is once they go on tour for 7 months. That's a lot of stress on that voice man. I agree, it's genius. But there are drawbacks.
+Lorenzo Rizzardi They are of curse one of the best fusion groups ever but in the past they didn't have that much options of sound. I think Return To Forever played as good if not even better they had the best musicians on any Instrument in the world listen to them :)

Well, it's already been established that these guys kick some major ass, but let's give some recognition to the amazing sound engineer for his/her work here. Holy shit. Cleanest mix I've heard in a long time.
sschafi1 sound engineer here and that was the most impressive thing about the song. That mix is god tier. they do love some Auto-Tune though, I'll tell you that!
after listening to these guys all these years I finally realized why I love their sound. To a person who doesn't play or doesnt bother to obderve technique, this sounds like a fun and quality song to dance to. But at the same time folks like me who are more musically inclined and can breakdown everything can delve deeper into what they are doing and enjoy that as well. Not many people can do both in one song. it's either simple but catchy or complex and hard for the normal "radio listener" to enjoy. this does it all
Not heard a group possessing such a musical and technical level, such a control of harmonies and arrangements while creating this so brilliant mix of funk/fusion and pop melodies, since Gino Vannelli in the 70's-80's. From 1,57 to 2,13 it's simply to fall on the ass...
Intro 0:00 to 0:19 is like David Foster & Toto and Flim & the BB's together in best days of golden era of superb fine music. Yes it’s pretty awesome, the composition, vocal, harmonies are wonderful, very powerful sound, especially for a Trio. It’s criminally and sadly, why is yet underrated this band. We should listen them in radio every day. I´m glad seeing/hear them. God bless
I have no idea why it's taken me so long to find this group. The musicality is insane. Each of them is a master of their craft and putting them together is like an explosion. But the singer's voice literally moved me to tears when he hit that run with the high note at the end. I'd love for him and Stevie Wonder to sing together.
That's how I always wanted pop music to sound like! Sophisticated chords, rhythms, sound design and arrangement-and yet very accessible and musical. A lot of integrated "fusion" elements without having the intellectual "musicians only" touch. YEAH ! ! ! This is probabaly the most creative and original sound I've heard for the last ten years. GREAT JOB, GUYS! I'm looking very forward to listening your new album feat. the Seawind Horns! What's the release date?
Started following them after Jonah's riff at 3:04 was showcased by Natalie Weiss on her show (Breaking Down The Riffs Episode 33 :Starring Clark Beckham)And Yes indeed the vocalist has the sickest range! Loved their kind of music!What an impeccably skilled musicians! If they were to make a jazz fusion album now I will be one of the first ones to buy it!
Wow... Pop seems to return to former glory. What a musical, complex, funky, jazzy beast of a song. Awesome harmonies, musicians who actually know how to play their instruments and a fantastic, clean and perfect mix. I really am impressed..! I'll tell everyone I know about you guys. You deserve recognition.
Such a great song. Their album is exceptional as well. The Gospel feel that this song starts off with still blows my mind, and I hear strong Stevie, Brian McKnight and Babyface influences. Whew! What a ride. I love their fusion of genres 😍
Sattam Deb Only Mike Jagger ain't funk & don't rime more like the prodigal son of Ray Charles, James Brown, Elvis Presley, Brian McKnight & late Micheal Jackson with his younger brothers Justin Timberlake & Bruno Mars leaving the Chosen, Jonah Nilsson as the promised Messiah. hahahaha
A 6-sided bass. Chapeau. I have only 5 here. A particularly pleasant characteristic of your music is that the background is not washed out by guitars. This emphasizes the clever harmony. The sharp chromatic bridge would have degenerated from a guitar into a mass of noise. Good.
Now that's real music right there! Lead vocal sounds like a blend of Brian McKnight and Stokley Williams from Mint Condition. Unbelievable! Can't fix my face.. And that's what musicianship should sound and look like!
OH MY FRIKIN GOD!! These guys are AWESOME!! EVERYONE!! GO OUT AND BUY THEIR MUSIC and TELL EVERYONE WHO LOVES MUSIC about these guys!! REAL TALENT and MUSICIANSHIP aint quite dead yet!!!!
I'm so impressed with this new wave of bands such as Dirty Loops, Knower and Snarky Puppy who are pushing music which is as far away from the usual chart shite as it gets. Long may it continue to be inspiring to guys even as old as me (at a youthful 62) and who is trying to emulate this sort of stuff with the aid of a Casio PX5S, Roland XP30 and MiniMoog. AND may I say doing a reasonable job...
well, if you learn from somebody, why not from the best :-) and stevie is the best there is. You find his singing-style in almost every modern singer...
Misha sent me here too... I love this. I can't believe I have never heard it before with over a million views so now I must research and find out what this band is all about!
I am so stoked to hear this record and the video of you amazing talents performing it. Well done Dirty Loops... FINALLY!!! Welcome to Music of the 2010's. Kudos to the Producer and Engineer, and Mastering Engineer. I'm listening to this on my Focal Sm9's at the Studio an it sounds FANTASTIC.
they are the sweetest guys in the world! Meeting them with my sister was the best day of my life!!!! Love you guys!! Keep on making music!!! You all inspired me so much!!!!!
I love Dirty Loops and this is my favourite song ever! I love it! I wish they kept on as a band and released more music. They are one of my favourite bands of all time. Love from Norway
my new favorite band...evaaarrrrrr. It's obvious your jazz training and dedication to your craft! thanks for renewing my faith in new artists... I just pre-ordered your cd.
They are a new band that does it right! Top notch singing, an extremely competent drummer, a jazz tinged keyboard player and a bass player that's hard to put down. They have it all!
Cathy Rich shared this on Facebook. First time I heard your music. I was blown away. wow, i'm a fan now!!! Haven't heard anything new in years that stopped me in my tracks.
Auto tune pitch correction and vibrato are on opposite ends of the same see-saw. If you turn it up enough to adjust a note that is more than the tiniest bit off, the vibrato disappears. There is plenty of vibrato in these vocals. Sorry to disappoint all the cynics out there, but Johan (the vocalist) is the real thing, and these guy are insanely talented.
Joseph Griffith True, but with Melodyne (like autotune but you adjust things manually) you can still keep vibrato intact while still fixing the pitch. That said, obviously he's obviously the real deal.
Joseph Griffith Joe;if anyone out there can't tell that Jonah is "the real thing" and way beyond that on vocals as well as being a world class keyboardist (& jazz/fusion improviser) then that person doesn't get it:these guys are "monsters".
Joseph Griffith disagree, you can pitch correct and keep vibrato. this guy is a great singer, but if you can't hear the autotune (or melodine) on his vocals... you're deaf.
The singer is not whos the best you totally put too much into singing. The bassist is a beast and the drummers jazz playing on point very hard. Everybody sings these days but its hard to play like these 2
If I hear this song, I want to stand up and just dance to it. They are so incredibly good, and what they play is so incredibly difficult ... Fresh wind in modern music. Keep going on, guys, and hold this great balance between virtuosity and "singable" quality!
Wow!!! That run at the end though ;-) Freaking insane. I still think you guys should connect with Pentatonix and do a colab video or song. That would be soooo sick.
Dude yeah that run get me all the time....INSANE I have this joint on my phone and that run to close out is off the chain. These guys are a really amazing group.
How about a Pentatonix / Dirty Loops tour?? I know scotthoying of Pentatonix is a big fan of Dirty Loops. When I saw Pentatonix last year they even played Dirty Loops - Baby over the PA before the show.
+Belle Carpenter I have to respectfully disagree. I think they are talented but maybe appeal to a different / niche audience, they were terrible live and really sapped the energy out of the arena. Most people around us thought the same thing. Each to their own of course.
wow really ??? I was down front bout 12 metres from stage and thought they were amazing. Hrs a amazing front man the band was awesome and all their songs rocked big time. Maybe sound up on seating areas was bad if u feel that way but on the floor was awesome
I don't usually like happy music, but wow the musicianship here is unreal, can't get enough. Amaranthe is probably to blame for me starting to like happy music.
You guys are SO SICK I'm literally getting ill over here! I've lost track of how many times I've watched this. Can't wait until you "Hit Me" with the Album!
