[Hit songwriters ask pop stars to stop taking credit for songs they didn't write]

Does it really affect me tho? Maybe not, but I can see how it would be a great movement for up and coming songwriters!

[What Are You Trying To Achieve With Your Songs?]

I'm trying to make money with my music, not an easy task!!

[What are you listening to at the moment?]

I found this cover quite enjoyable, the music and the visuals go pretty well, together. Oh and that falsetto @0:54 was absolute KILLER!

 

Enjoy! -Ken

@Richard Watashi - Ahh. If it were only true, everyone would be smoking it. lol

[My songs with video]

Great to hear your music/voice again, Achazia. I really love the first minute going into the song, its very inviting and has this "silky-slow-mo" vibe - if that makes any sense(haha). I really love the piano in this song, its gorgeous!

 

Hope to hear more of your work!

[Songstuff Indie Artists - Upcoming Subscription Package Update and Basic Poll]

If I were an artist, I would definitely subscribe to this! Great idea, @john and Songstuff team!

I can't take part in the poll but I think the price is quite thoughtful for the struggling young artist. But maybe you could offer separate prices for students and working adults?

 

If I come across serious independent artists, I will make sure to refer them to this right here. 😎

I was really impressed with the execution of this pop song. I found out it was J-Lo's idea to incorporate the Brazilian Funk beat into the production, which is quite ingenious I think!

Anything with the drumming of Michael Giles - I have always loved this guys drumming and I just had a raving mad passion to hear him again - he appeared on all sorts of odd albums in the early 70's after leaving King Crimson -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Giles

 

In particular I've been listening to everything by the 21st Century Schizoid Band made of alumni from King Crimson....any Crimson fan should check them out. Look at the line up

• Jakko Jakszyk - guitar, lead vocals, keyboards, flute
• Ian McDonald - alto saxophone, backing and lead vocals, flute, keyboards, piano, percussion
• Mel Collins - alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, backing vocals, flute, keyboards,
• Peter Giles - bass, backing vocals, percussion
• Michael Giles - drums, backing and lead vocals, percussion

I've also been listening to the last 3 albums by Jackson Heights as he played on those albums: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Heights_(band)

 

he has a light, crisp, jazz influenced progressive rock style - he's a great but under rated British rock musician imho. (as is his brother - the bass player Pete)

 

Forgive my ignorance but I never really understood what progressive music meant, until this post. Thank you for broadening my horizons a little, I plan on doing some more research into this genre.

 

BTW, I came across this drummer about a year ago, but now I know that she composes progressive pop music! Check her out if you're interested:

'You're Still The One'

 

The first song I heard from Shania Twain back in 1998, which is like two decades ago! I absolutely love the timbre of her voice, its quite addictive.

 

 

[2018: What DAW do you use?]

I use LPX because its the only DAW I really know how to use. If I had to switch to something else, I guess it would be Ableton Live manly because I like to produce EDM tracks.

During my teenage years this was one of my favorites... Now that I'm older, not so much...lol

Do you think the audience look so unmoved during the performance because they're all thinking 'if I wanted Led Zep I'd have just put on some Led Zep' ?   

 

It's interesting, such talent maybe wasted in my opinion by being that bit TOO much like their influence...or maybe that feels different to another generation. Although something's amiss if an audience can be so still through something so loud and well played...

 

Led Zeppelin was way before I was born so this was pretty fresh-sounding to me. I think the singer's got such a great voice for this style! 😎

Just discovered this young rock band(it seems they've been around since 2012)! 🤘😎

Just learned of a genre named, J-Future Bass 🎧

 

 

[Calum Scott - You are the reason violin cover by theViolinman]

Great performance and the video is perfect. If there was one thing I would add to the mix, it would be a little more reverb on the violin.


Keep up the great work,


Ken

Some of you might enjoy this version. The lead singer hasn't lost the magic, I don't think he ever will..

Leo Di Angilla... I don't know who he is or where he is from but this performance was pretty cool to watch. 😄

"The Best Singer-Songwriter," Nederland.

 

This guy reminds me of John Mayer and Elvis Presley. The song's pretty amazing!
