Musician/Producer Reacts to "Automatic" by Dirty Loops 

I consider Dirty Loops to be a perfect band. everything they do is stellar!

Oh my God.Dirty Loops turn my mind crazy.I can believe the talent they show up all the time,every song.They are the best.

Wow, totally new for me too. A little hard for me to separate the quirky un-synced visuals from the music so I just closed my eyes and enjoyed the always wonderful Dirty Loops sound.

The musical movement inside the vocal melody is outstanding

I think this song come from the Japanese version of the "Loopified" album. It is a cover of a song from some Japanese artist .

I just read that Automatic is a cover of a Utada Hikaru song. So strange! I was about to write in the live chatt that the chorus reminds me of another song. I now I know why! I have her album..! 😃 She is a famous singer in Japan Ps. Here is one live performance with her: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JSb_x5lJ5DQ.html

Yeah, I totally agree. This is part infusing pop like music with more complex chordal stuff, part sneaking jazzy stuff into the mainstream. It's kinda like Charlie Puth sneaking in five note chords or like major11 chords into songs that are obviously pop, or Jacob Collier sneaking wonky grooves or phrygian licks into his latest songs. Even if this isn't these guys' intention, it sure is nice to listen to.

Growing up with the original version of Utada Hikaru, this was a really good example of how to make it like it's their own song.

I believe it's part of the Loopified collection. Automatic is another fave!!!!

I was sure I had listen to everything they had done but apparently not…. Great stuff! Really

I’m all in for Dirty Loops. I’m constantly searching for new charts I haven’t heard. But this was new to me too.

Here I was thinking that I had heard them all but you found a missing piece. Thank you so much! You know that I like your reaction and that was a perfect start on this evening.

Wow! Never heard this song before!

This was new to me, too - so thank you, Jeff. I think it is one of Dirty Loops strengths to make technical music listenable to a broader audience. Cheers! 🙋

Looking forward to seeing this one;) I am all cued up at work and ready to go at lunch:)

I really think the term “Chops Pop” may be an appropriate way to describe a lot of Dirty Loops tunes! Great video again, thanks for sharing!

Have you heard “wake me up”? If not, an another beautiful cover….

I love all music but lean towards Prog. I have to thank the covid lock down for expanding my appreciation for bands i would not normally listen to. The first time i heard Snarky Puppy was a game changer. While i dont always love everything you or other reactors highlight, i always go in now with an open mind. That is how i stumbled upon DL. I never knew that Jazz Pop Fusion was something i was missing. I'm ok with Pop music when the musicianship is this high and i dont know that i consider DL pop. Current music on the radio does little for me and i find my self on the "Oldies" stations - the 80s and 90s lol.

I have wondered why No One has reacted to this song. First Time I heard this was about two years Ago I think. Not My favorite from DL, but a really Good pop song.

Thanks for the info. All,these temp keyboard players are stars on their own right.

Late to the premiere, but I hadn't heard this one either. Which begs the question... OMFG! WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE THAT I'VE MISSED?! WE WANT IT ALL, FELLAS! EVERY NOTE YOU'VE EVER PLAYED OR SANG IN YOUR LIFETIMES! Lol! 😂

Elegantly complicated yet simply said and lovable

Wow, knowing before the DL cover, just learnt that it's actually a cover of Utada Hikaru song, well... too many missing chords 😃😃😃 not easy to move from DL cover to the original one!

Ive heard it...a masterpiece

This song is gave me hours to devour

How haven’t I heard this damn it’s naaaaasty

Years ago I stumbled over Henrik and saw one song of a life gig somewhere on YT. I thought "what an incredible Bass player" but what is he doing in a full blown Pop band! ;-) It must have been a song like this and I only heard the "surface" lol

Another great reaction! I don't know if you're into Gino Vannelli or not, but if so, would you consider reacting to songs from his very jazz influenced Yonder Tree CD, or the live versions from his Live in LA DVD of either Brother To Brother or Appaloosa ( there are live videos from that DVD up on RU-vid... thank you!)

I'm in tune with the comments below. Such an amazing band but who is the mystery man in the background who plays brilliant keys support to Jonah on keys but never seems to get any credit. I know Kristian Kraftling is one session player for them. are there others I wonder?

Hi! Plz do some reactions from the first album!

I hope you'll get around to that GEM video (with Eldar Djangirov, Matt Garstka, and Henrik Linder) I recommended a while ago! Torque is the one I recommended, as it's my favorite of the ones they uploaded: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M3NfCWMwayA.html There's two more though, that are even crazier, and definitely worth reacting to as well!

actually you should totally react to Utada Hikaru's music!

I think these guys are pop-y enough in that Jacksonian way so that most pop fans probably won't even realize they've been progged. The more difficult accomplishment, in my estimation, is to get us snobs whose bar was set way high by Zappa and King Crimson to jump out of our seats screaming, "WTF!!!" and dance our ancient asses off!

This channel is a DL church...and I'm proudly a sheep !

Totally missed this one too. Weird! Where did you find it? Sounds like a studio recording with some bits of live footage.

Notice the "other keyboard" player lurking in the background.. Apparently usual on live tracks.

Another early song with magic playing, especially Henrik, (published 6 years ago) you should react to "Sayonara Love": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fnl6DMR7Jaw.html Different video production quad squares alternating the members. Thanks for your awesome reactions! 👍

Where can I find the dirty loops tab book? I think they removed it from their shop :(

Jeff. Love your Dirty Loops reactions. Some of my faves. Are you familiar with Charlie Hunter? I'd absolutely love to see your reaction to this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k-ZokObk3ic.html
