ON THE ONE! // "Design" by Cory Wong (feat. Kimbra) 

I’ll never forget going to a kimbra show back in 2018 in Minneapolis and finding Cory Wong in the audience. Had to say hi! Fun coincidence considering I already had tickets to see him at red rocks that upcoming summer. And then this tune?! Blew my mind. So happy for this collaboration

Cory's posture is excellent. Took me like 10 minutes to figure out what was weirding me out, and that was it.

I know Kimbra is a pretty big name in the industry, but she still doesn't get enough recognition.

Good call from Kimbra to ramp it up in the chorus. I love it.

My favorite thing about these videos is learning just how remarkably smart Cory Wong is. The dude is full 360 smart. He's got every angle of creativity and smart covered whether its music, production design, brand management, or business savvy and management. 360 smart.

Kimbra has one of the most beautiful voices in the biz

The fact that Cory is so humble while asking artists for collaborations, makes me feel that special warmth in my heart. He's already a huge name in the game, yet he's still keeping his cool and doesn't make himself look like the legend he actually is.

Loving these Cory! 🤘🎸🔥

So that's how you got Jon for Cory and the Wongnotes. I feel like the plot just keeps thickening. Awesome work btw!

This is so good. I've never heard someone explain Kimbra's talent the way I do with such appreciation for her skills. I'm always dreaming for a production breakdown for songs I love, so thank you for doing this! I've really been getting into your music lately and learning from your guitar techniques and then to hear you with Kimbra! Woooooh !

When Cory got to the vocals I was like “Jacob Collier?”

Great, was hoping for a breakdown of this track What an amazing song - kimbra kills it with her unique vocal style. One of your best yet Cory, as a huge fan

Love the part about making the "guitar orchestra" not being quantized and the nuances making it what it is. That's absolutely true. I think it makes the part stand out in the finished track rather than just blend it like its just another part.

OMG the horns, where can I get more astounding horns like these! This break down is the best.

This man should totally do a podcast...wait...

Been following Michael Nelson since his Prince days when I was a young horn player (still a Prince fanatic and horn player now) and definitely use some of his techniques when trying to write horn arrangements. So glad he is getting a new audience through your music. Excellent content and appreciate it so much.

First person in my life that has validated my pick bass. Thank you, Cory.

Cory is incredible in the way he explains his thought and decision making processes. He relates feeling without getting too technical or caught up in theory. On the One kicks!!!

I really dig seeing these breakdowns the day a song drops. Just listened to the track and saw this in my feed :D

Michael’s horn arranging is amazing. I love the tune Cory.

A Corey Wong / Kimbra collaboration - awesome!

This is one of my most-played songs in 2021, so it's great to hear the story behind its creation. Cheers from Las Vegas!

I loved the tune already, but having it deconstructed brings another level of appreciation... Thanks Cory

Kimbra and you both are legends, this song is everything!

As always, pleasure watching your videos, I don't think I've missed any so far :D PS : The Archetype Cory Wong plugin is just mind blowing, thank you!

Such an incredible tune. The brass, the Talking Headsish feel, I love this so much.

These are awesome. Love how in-depth they are!

DUDE pls never change that intro, jumped in my chair! :D They hyyypppeee

Cory, thanks for posting these. I've been super interested in recording and production so thank you for sharing all of this info! You're the man!

Parts of Kimbras vibe in this song reminds me of night club and I love it.

This channel is gold. Love the way you talk us through the process ;)

This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and that's probably , nope definitely an understatement

I'm here via Kimbra-- glad to get a bigger intro to your work. This deep dive was terrific fun. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way you work!!! It's a totally wild way to record guitars and it's got me thinking to open myself up more in my recording process!!! Kimbra rocks big time!!

Love what you're doing man. My Students and I LOVE Vulf and all your stuff outside of that. Killin' it!

God the vocals and vocal production is amazinggg.

Looooove these vids man. Keep it up!

love this series!

This is insane. Love it.

Cool.. You make my studio speakers sound great. LOL! These are inspiring. Love.

Doing god's work showing us these tricks. I've always wanted to do whisper tracks but always end up muting them because I never put in the work to edit them to line up with the lead. Fascinating stuff all around!

This is insane! Love it!

"What Makes This Song Great"

Thank you Cory Wong for sharing. I have learned so much from you and I am a big fan of your music.

My face is stuck with my "funky face" during the guitar orchestras solo arrangement that is some dope stuff coryy!!

Mr. Wong!!! Love your music!!! (Vulfpeck and all the rest you are doing.) :)

This channel is dope, thanks for sharing. The guitar orchestra idea is killer.

H Delay is one of my best plugins! Go H-Delay!

You are really good producer and a real one. Some producers can’t even show their screen

do more of these! So great to see the process of a funk god!

Killer song! LOVE IT

This is so fun and interesting! And Kimbra is my fav also :)

Thanks man for this kind of content, it helped me a lot to have ideas on how to evolve my songs. Thanks a lot! 🤙 I'm a big fan of you.

Really dope mix

Really interesting Cory! Keep it on with these videos contents

Love this kind of vids Cory! Wondering how's your final mixing/master bus looks like! Would be awesome if you show us those final mixing tips! Thank so much!

Great stuff! Thanks Cory xox

This is great, Cody!

Need more 🙌🏽

13:13 that clav in context - damn. Whole tune is ear candy.

The jumper is backer. As well n the garment he's wearing 💜

Amazing

27 minutes... I can probably only watch this 13 more times today

Enjoying watching this. Thanks for doing it, Cory. Can you please tell what musical intervals do you use in this ‘guitar harmony’ trick (6 layer-guitar)?

Kinda got a Sonic The Hedgehog / Sega Genesis vibe. So rad.

This is great!

Agreed Orchestrated guitars were frickin awesome.

Bravo!

Kimbra absolutely killing

Cory you are very inspirational. Thank you for that :). Now for the real reason I called. Your chi might be more centered if you would close the regions bin window, collapse the track list view, also not view the send sand plug-in banks we are not using. (sends f-j ,plug-ins f-j) especially since your working with only one screen (oh yeah, your chi would also enjoy a second monitor :) Respect. :)

such a killer track holyyy shhh

I'm getting earth wind and fire - magic mind vibes 💯

I thought that sounded familiar!!! The challenge!

this is soooooooo killing

this is great

As soon as I heard her singing all I could think of was Madonna. Vogue. It's an 80s vibe.

Dud amazing !!

From one Corey the the next “Cory”, I really appreciate your music man. And your sweaters sick. Where did you get it?

5:13 Very "Tom Tom Club" indeed, like "wordy rappinghood" on stereoids. Those production related videos are excellent

Also: Tune 🔥

Dude this content is epic! Any idea what this monitor/tv is?
