    I love that he picked “I Want” ☺️ such a great track! He’s so right about trying to hard to be “human” - I think about the trend of like someone saying something in the studio at the end of the song - like laughing or like “did we get that?” - and they totally fake it!! To make it sound more real….it is evil honestly

    I forget - some big artist said when you hear a song that feels fresh - but also like it’s always existed - you know you’ve hit a good song. That’s this album

    The way the melodies are so catchy - I’m absolutely like - I MUST’VE heard something like this - or maybe even this - before!! The melodies do feel familiar - but also entirely new!! He nailed it - he named the liminality 😅

    The first modern artist that really grabbed me. My parents always had their artists like Prince or Bowie which was like their musical identity. This guy is that for me. Completely grabbed my entire attention. Two Star and The Dream Police is my entire playlist.

    If it were helpful, I’d call him a genius. More than that, he is prophetic (without all the obsessive dogmatism). Mkgee points humans to a new era of spiritual potentiality. Beautiful, uncanny, inspirational.

    My friend sent me this album and at first i thought i didnt like it, because it sounded so off and like the mix was so not what i expected it to be. and it wasnt until she asked me why that was “bad”, i started to understand the hyper- intentionality of the record. it made no sense that an artist with the technical talent he has drops the ball on the presentation. I dont think there is many artists thinking of the way Mk.gee is thinking right now.

    Can someone elaborate on what Mk.Gee means about the concept of people trying to sound “human” in today’s music? I’m a bit confused on what he means by that. Ironically, I felt his album felt extremely raw and in your face. I could hear the mess ups and impromptu moments. I could hear the imperfections. The scratches of tape. The rustling of strings and instruments. Which is what he described as human and evil In the interview. But am I missing something? 😅

    • @EL-de7sk

    "there are no stakes, the stakes are not as high as people think" wow... this guy. Louis Cole and MkGee are the only two artist with a strong "song-writer/popular" element that are generational artist (*that i'm aware of). Artist that are ushering us into a new time, where music and things dont suck. if you know others on this level leave a note <3

    artists using the word 'record' to describe their art is so pretentious. no one outside of the industry uses that word to describe music, songs, albums. its like a right of passage to call your music a 'record'. Its not even a download, just a click at this point.

    • @PoipleBabby
      @PoipleBabby 4 місяці тому

      yeah calling the art you recorded a record is fucking gay. What, are painters gonna call the art they painted 'paintings' next? what's this world come too...

    Fucking genius. I’ve been obsesssedddd. Another commenter used the word hiraeth. I didn’t realize I craved this entire album until I heard it. Like something I was missing. After hearing this interview and finding out that it was purposely done. Incredible! Can’t wait to see you in September 😍😍

  • @steelpainter

    Mk.gee commenting on the 'evil' quality of working on a record for three years . . . I don't know if I'd use the word 'evil' but I agree it's a bit questionable to work on single rock record with 12 songs for a length of time that almost equals, like, Hendrix's entire career.

    for how elusive Mk.gee is, i'm so shocked at how willingly he articulated his intention on this project, this was a great interview
