Dirty Loops - Next To You (REACTION)  

His parents work in Svenska kyrkan (the Swedish church) though, and the choirs there are mostly of the classical variety (chamber choirs), so it's not at all the same kind of music. His whole family are classical musicians. Brilliant suggestions for them to check out! I wholeheartedly agree! 👍

Bass: Their cover of Baby.

Bass: any song

@@anthonydawson8080 Yeah, definitely! 😁

And if you listen to a bunch of their work, you can hear a _real_ clear Stevie Wonder influence in Jonah's singing. It's respectful and just killer

I'll second that :)

@@Tassilago Me too. On par with the original? Sorry, I think DL's version beats the original. Or, is as good as.

@@sweper I'd say is on pair. you cant say it's better because it's different from the original in every way. so they are in different categories.

Agree

Listen Fallow the light with Cory Wong

And yes, they were only fooling around switching instruments (it was the singer on bass for a sec there, not the drummer), even though they can play several instrument at least halfway decently. The vocalist is actually quite a good drummer, and played the drums himself on most of the songs on his solo album, and the bass player started out playing the piano at age four and switched to bass at 12-13. They've known each other for 20+ years at this point, and all three went to music school already in high school. Jonah played classical piano back then, and switched to jazz his last year of high school, and went on to study music production in music college, with jazz piano as a side subject. When they started the group in 2008 he had never sung lead - just choir, and mostly of the classical variety - and didn't even know if he could. Henrik and Aron both studied jazz through high school and college. Jonah often cites both Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder as his biggest singing influences, but if you ask me, the song itself screams of Toto (which isn't all that strange, considering a lot of it is written by the drummer, who is a big Toto fan).

I definitely could see most of the lyrics being fit for gospel. You want to be "next to you (god)".

There you are. Thanks again for supporting us!!

@@AirplayBeats it’s a real pleasure

Yes! Work Shit Out!!

Any relation to Jonah?

@@esdel1955 Although he might be, the chances aren't high, considering Nilsson is one of the most common (top 5 iirc) last names in Sweden. 😄

@@esdel1955 no relation. I saw them live a few months ago. They’re unbelievable musicians! If you’re a drummer you check out work shit out. Drum solo in the end

@@jensamensas I’m a guitarist but I can appreciate a great drummer.

@@lottawiklund8606 I kind of thought so, because you hear that name a lot.

Aaron is a BAD MAN!!!

@@AirplayBeats ☺️

Not to forget Aron edited the Cory Wong videos to fool us they arent one opposite sides of the Atlantic.

Whoooo whooo whooo...don't forget Simon Petren.

Robert, check out Lotta’s comment. She quotes a bit from a Henrik Linder interview, about those vocals and how they came to be :) Yeah it’s all Jonah 👍

Hear hear! :)

KNOWER (Louis Cole) is awesome too

Snarky Puppy with Lalah Hathaway is a game changer! Also anything with Jacob Collier and Snarky Puppy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I’ve been hearing that a lot. Excited to hear more. Thanks for watching!!

They are SWEDISH! And darned good musicians!

@@piastylback9410 I used to do a college radio show. The station got lots of records from Swedish and Finnish musicians and I can say the quality of musicianship is superb!

Honestly I listen to them everyday, especially when I’m in the car….:)

Snarky Puppy coming soon

I’m sure they can play all the instruments. We can play multiple instruments as well so I wouldn’t be surprised. These guys are elite.

I’m going to do my best to send them down the Jacob Collier rabbit hole!

Yes to ALL of the above!

We will get to Snarky and Collier soon

Love Bobby Caldwell

I think we will start diving into Beth Hart pretty soon

@@AirplayBeats Well Beth & Joe are considered a super group, because they both have separate careers. But when they came together, let's just see what you think lol

@@mamaflush9945 we are on it. Keep an eye out for Beth and Joe.

We actually just watched it about 20 mins ago. Video should be up this week

@@AirplayBeats can not wait!!

Jonah (the singer) has a classical background. His parents are church choir directors, but they work in the Swedish church (Svenska kyrkan), where the music is almost exclusively of the classical variety. Jonah played classical piano and sang in chamber choirs (mostly) growing up.

@@lottawiklund8606 Okay thanks for the info.
