Oh, man, what a concentration of talent. A bass player who's obviously a serious student of the instrument and techniques, a drummer with technique and licks coming out his ears, and a keyboardist with tons of chops and great understanding of jazz harmony who also happens to be a killer vocalist. This is the best thing I've seen in quite a while.
Dude mixes up to a like f#5 he's an insane voacaist...and to play the keyboard parts he does while singing is insane. Those pentatonic runs he does are absolutely insane.
I don't understand why these guys aren't more well known worldwide. Nobody compares to their talent, feel, originality, expression, imagination...the list is endless!! They are so UNDER-RATED!!
c pourtant facile a comprendre pourquoi ils sont pas connus.....ce sont des super musiciens trop talentueux .....pour etre celebre faut pas faire plus de 2 accords et moins on sait chanter plus on a de succes....c ca le monde d aujourdhui les amis......y a qu a voir sur ytub la quantite de jeunes musiciens qui sont condamnes a jouer dans leur chambre devant leur camera.....quel gachis....
Snarky Puppy, Dirty Loops, and The Roots are my top 3 fav bands that can make any song sound amazing, soulful, chords galore and celestial voices to top it off. Amazing musicians.
If, like me you grew up leaning towards BS&T, Earth Wind and Fire and Chicago, check out Leonid and Friends. And you should also listen to any Dave Weckl Band song.
As a working composer/performer, I have a great deal of admiration for what these guys have arranged here. While it's a style that won't resonate with many people (due to the technical nature of the chord progressions and playing style) and certainly will be hard for Adele devotees to appreciate, there's no denying the "chops" that these guys have. The singer is spot on with that Al-Jarreau/Stevie Wonder style even while playing piano (though I am sure this video is NOT a live shoot. Nice job!
Soulful, technical, great tone, and a good enough sense of marketing to be comfortable with covering more accessible music in order to get more exposure. This is awesome. Some of the tightest fusion I've heard in a long while.
THE BEST EVER!!!!! EVERY SONG IS SO FRESH! MUSICIANS, ARRANGEMENTS, VOCALS...UNBELIEVABLE! I was waiting for the Coachella festival live feed to start and decided to fill the time with videos and found Dirty Loops. This group would blow away every group at this festival, by far!!!
It makes me so happy that having scrolled through 3 pages of the comments, I've only seen one comment on their appearance. Pop videos have mainly comments on the appearance of the artist. Sign of truly amazing musicians!
I am losing it! The arrangements, vocals, bass, track, drummer, melody, chords, keys, R&B, Jazz, soulful, who are these guys! OMG. I cannot stop listening. My blood is singing!
The amazing thing is that you can hear the musicianship, that's the difference between music and not music. You can hear it in Snarky Puppy, these guys, and other groups I'm sure. Pop stars burn out and get lost, but people like this; their music will live on.
Zachary Greene that’s what you hope, but in reality, statistically a star would Be. Known for longer because have a foundation fans and other jet factors.
Pop music isn't a genre IMHO. Such a lazy classification. Bruce and Beatles are Rock. Stevie Wonder was Soul or R&B. Prince and Michael Jackson were almost "genreless" because of how many styles they both went after. Rock, Funk, R&B, Soul, you name it. Calling something Pop music as a genre is dangerous because it ends up being a catch all for music that other people think the masses will like. News flash. Most people don't.
I would recommend looking up the training of people in the "pop" genre. Lady Gaga went to Rochester if I remember and people like John Legend have been playing piano for decades.
They made it possible for music to be like this. They are not just talented but they are really deep in music. it's like they kept sinking and sinking in the ocean and they get to explore the greatest wonders of music.
Absolutely stunning. Utter class. Just spent my whole evening watching every RU-vid clip and bought the album. I have been Loopified. I can't wait for them to come to the UK.
I just adore away the way our drummer is packing away his sticks before the song has ended! Wonderful vision and astonishing playing. This is impressive high end music making…..these 20 somethings when they become 30 somethings will be a world music force, if the are not already.
My bestie is dying in the hospital ...my friend just turned me on to this band and I busted out crying.....I am running to the hospital to play him their music ....he's gonna LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!!
Amazing, incredible! Great Cover , talento e total harmony of all. When you do what you love and do with affection , it’s good to see. Congrats. Guys👏👏👏
+Neil Holdaway Usually It is 1 or 2 camermen max moving around following different instruments, so the chance of one camerman sitting on one instrument is probably unlikely
Hold up....he's singing all those awesome notes and playing too?? Wow...just wow... Can't forget the other amazing band members...You guys...I'm blown away.
The endig is so goddamn awesome! That grove with bass and drums and afterwards vocals in addition. ..... the last part discribes the band in total by the way . :)
Ohhh My Goshhhhh. Amazing Why are u not super famus yet? Great roll models.i'm a huge fan. Listen to u guys all the time. I know all your runs and different solos by heart. Sooo talented. Sooo blessed.
This group is like The Brecker Brothers meets Mint Condition, Raphael Saadiq and Victor Wooten. The twist on the chord progression is very much like Brecker Bros. skunk funk.
Bring your lunch box because these dudes are taking you to school. Thanks to Sweden for having an emphasis on music education. This and Max Martin are the results. It's no coincidence. As Dizzy Gilespie said when he first heard Charlie Parker, he said "that's how music is supposed to sound". These cats are the new be-bopers - taking pop tunes of OUR day and making them their own. 'Bout time!
They're musically so interesting and entertaining, but I find this ultimately rather annoying to listen to. Most people (including very talented, experienced musicians) fail to realise the most important thing is the expression of a state of mind or feeling for the listener to relate to or to sublimate. There is something to be said for amazingly talented musicians revelling in the joy and fun of a complex arrangement, but it's sort of beside the point musically speaking. As (sometimes overly) simple as the original song is, it has a grit and a passion that this doesn't, so will remain the famous one.
Pablo Bellinghausen I agree completely. There is nothing wrong with music that's simple as long as it's genuine and meaningful. Sometimes less is more.
Sebastian Alexandre I wouldn't go calling her a lyrical genius. She's not bad by any means, but a genius? I can't agree. Musically, this is the first cover I've heard by DL that is less sonically pleasing than the original.
it's so nice to see 3 million plus views on a video where musicians are actually blazing. welcome top 40 pop aficionados. This anomaly is called music. it is good.
