Jonah's solo stuff just keeps growing and growing and growing on me! It's almost like it has all these secret hidden hooks that get into my brain and I just want more. I'm with you. Trapped on a desert island-or whatever, you know-this is the version of "Bad" I'm wanting with me. He really did take it next level an made it his own.
Thank all of you for coming to the Premier and chatting with me! Sorry for the abrupt cut off of the chat at the end that happened automatically at the end of the vid! Ug.
The vocals also reminded me of Manhattan Transfer! The first time I heard this I called my sister for her to listen to it too as she is a Manhattan Transfer fiend! Jeff, you really need to listen to Jonah’s Borrowed Time…have the tissues close by. I’ve already told my daughter I want this song at my funeral, as well as Jonah’s ‘Last Farewell’… I will go out in style 😇
You need to listen to Dirty Loops' older covers as well. They do have a tendency to twist the songs inside out, and turn them into something that is just way better than the originals (or, in some cases, make insanely good music out of less than stellar stuff). :D
Last of the "Songs For Lovers" and something "completely different" (Monty Pythons) is "Old Armando Has A Farm" will catch you by surprise - but it won´t fail.
Genius has an elite assortment of other worldly talent and creative performers, Jonah being one of them. Not to be confused with Jacob Collier. Very different but each one oh so brilliant.
Another wonderfully thoughtful reaction. Man, Jonah is really cranking out some quality music. They have all shared that DL effect that they sound good out of the box and then just get better with repeated listenings. This is dynamite listening!
Manhattan Transfer did one of my parents' numbers "Candy" which was included in the "Live" album. Not my favorite MT arrangement but part of their history.
Hello Jeff and congrats on your amazing Dirty Loops reactions’ series 👍😉, if you wanted to relax a little bit, please check on Snarky Puppy (We Like It Here project) and particularly start with Lingus 🤗 I’d really love to see your reaction to that bunch of wizards
I missed the live stream, but it was still fun as always! Speaking of, I am enjoying your Last Rock Empire playlist! I put it on my phone. I'm not quite musical enough to legitimately discuss it with you, but I keep thinking "vast & varied soundscape!" & "episodic". I get Kansas vibes as I mentioned, but also Rush vibes. To use my tween's word... EPIC!
@@StrateleStudios Ok, you asked for it... Lol. Here goes, highlights: Broken: love the lyrics; the background harmonies; the driving guitar throughout & the solo before the last chorus; the broken yell Out Among Stars: like a lullaby (for Major Tom, floating out in space, befriended by a satellite, lol); it's soothing lyrically & musically; "so much for gravity" The Scorpion & The Frog: atmospheric synth; the switchups; the story reminds me of Brian Wilson's "Mt. Vernon & Fairway" fairy tale that was included as a bonus 45 with the Holland album, both are very cool! Nika: The Kansas tribute, yes! Otherworldly feel. This is the one that reminds me of "The Wall" for some reason. Quasar: Parts remind me of "Fly like an Eagle" Steve Miller Band. Haven't digested all the lyrics yet, but "numbers of Fibonacci" caught my ear. Shred vocals! Is that a Hammond organ sound in there? Ghost...: Super cool, could be a haunted house video game background track with all the different sections; love "soon as the sun comes out" sung in a round; "standing on the edge, not to jump but to fly" yeah! (Some days you don't know which one you're gonna choose.) Tipping Point: cool chords, reminds me of Joe Jackson's "Steppin' out" All that to say I think it's super cool & different (in a good way), but with familiar nods that make my ears perk up. I like the interesting, verbose lyrics that make you think a bit. And the way the sections switch up keeps you on your toes (or ears). And I like that the songs feel expansive, not chopped down for radio purposes... Episodic. Vast & varied soundscape!
@@lavenderbluemama953 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you would comment on such great detail to one of my albums! I loved all your comments and it’s so fascinating to read your reactions to these songs. I can’t thank you enough!
@@StrateleStudiosAww, thanks. I tend to get stuck in my playlists, & forget to seek out new music sometimes, so I'm having fun listening to yours. And really, how many times does one get the opportunity to actually tell an artist how their music makes them feel? Anyway, I admire those with talent, knowledge, & passion to create music that moves people, as you do, so thank you.
Seven or eight years ago now, I was becoming so disappointed about the direction modern music was going. Then along comes Dirty Loops! Their obvious joy at what they do with their instruments is contagious. I agree with you 100% Jeff on your comments about Jonah's vocals, they are mind blowing. I hear Stevie Wonder coming through more as he matures. I'm a big of Stevie having seen him perform in a night club I frequented in Sydney, when he was just eighteen and his "For once in my life" phenomenal hit had just been released. Like Jonah, he's multitalented. On the night, he played the most amazing version of "Alfie" on the harmonica and even played the drums at one stage! Of course, he's also awesome on keys! ( love your reaction on this too mate).
DANG, I missed your life stream!!! But eventually it´s 1st listen on YOUR channel Jeff - and WHAT A BURNER!!! Sure Jonah, easypeasy reimagination of that with the help of (I think) "random" keyboard players - ok, not THAT random lol + all the tricks that Jazz, fueled by intelligence and skills, could provide!!! Speechless and thank YOU Jeff! Seems like Jonah a Jacob Collier are travelling intertwined universes...
Hahahaha! That was such a great song to do a reaction video for! I had so much fun. I’ll be doing more Premiers cuz the chat was so much fun! About where are you located?
@@StrateleStudios I live in Berlin, Germany and today there is BIG government election day for district, federal land + the Federal Republic of Germany. It´s impossible to do more decisions for the future election wise...
7 months on, but I still have to say, Jeff, that this is one of the funnest reactions to Jonah’s ‘Bad’! Hair-raising, jaw dropping, brilliant…. 🔥 And I’ve just posted this in one of the other comment threads below, but again, here’s an interesting video by Jonah on the making of this clip: ua-cam.com/video/ixlXnFSOvDE/v-deo.html Btw, all the vocal tracks are by him-. Can’t wait until he and Dirty Loops release their new projects…!!
I think it is time for you to lead us down the path of Jacob Collier. A 5 time Grammy winning 26 year old who is a musical genius... Please start with his arrangement of Lionel Richie's All Night Long. He plays all the instruments and did all the arrangements including the orchestra.. Take 6 is with him in this as well!!... Let's go!!!!
Jacobs stuff is AMAZING!!! Only problem is every video that includes his music gets blocked. When I did “Moon River” I had to post it on my Patreon site which is not a huge deal except I don’t think as many people will go there to enjoy it. 😩
I followed your advice and OMG they are awesome! It´s good to see other sides of Henrik apart from DL and what a beautiful solo he catered to that song...
Since your journey of dirty loops is done soon, i would love for you to check out Cody Fry & Cory Wong featuring Dynamo - Better and Want Me Back live sessions! Amazing funky and jazzy pop music, it is audible crack.
Hey thereee great reaction! If you wanna try something new and cool, Please check out to the band Måneskin! They are Italian but they sing in both English and Italian. (For Italian songs there are UA-cam videos with translations). React to all of their performances at The Global Citizen Live, all of the performances are on the Global Citizen Channel. I swear they’re great and they’re only in their 20s🤟🏽
@@StrateleStudios Hi! No, I have not searched. I thought it was JC but I was mistaken. As I said before, it's a very JC's style arrangement (wall of voices, half/quarter time ending, etc). Thanks for asking!

Sir, I identify with each and every pearl you postulate! So knowledgeable without losing the passion for performance excellence!

I really need to do a reaction to BT...it's so beautiful
The real and good music is garantied with Jonah and Dirty Loops.
MJ with Take six or Manhattan Transfer vocals in the background LOL
I'll take it! :)
Manhattan Transfer reference...good call...they are still tight and touring after 40 years
You need to listen to Dirty Loops' older covers as well. They do have a tendency to twist the songs inside out, and turn them into something that is just way better than the originals (or, in some cases, make insanely good music out of less than stellar stuff). :D
Oh yes, I have listened to those song no less than 1000 times each, hahaha. I can probably sing every part by now! 😂
Last of the "Songs For Lovers" and something "completely different" (Monty Pythons) is "Old Armando Has A Farm" will catch you by surprise - but it won´t fail.
Hahaha love me some Python 😆. Yes, I saw that video floating around!
Genius has an elite assortment of other worldly talent and creative performers, Jonah being one of them. Not to be confused with Jacob Collier. Very different but each one oh so brilliant.
It's a pleasure to see your react. Please listen Thriller the last one from Dirty Loops, I think the best cover :-) (hello from France)
The only reason why I haven’t done a first reaction video for Thriller is because I already saw it! Waaaaaaaa
Another wonderfully thoughtful reaction. Man, Jonah is really cranking out some quality music. They have all shared that DL effect that they sound good out of the box and then just get better with repeated listenings. This is dynamite listening!
I so love this version of Bad!
Production value is great on this one
Manhattan Transfer did one of my parents' numbers "Candy" which was included in the "Live" album. Not my favorite MT arrangement but part of their history.
What a great redo of a classic MJ CHART! Took several liberties with chord structure and feel.

Good timing, I was going to ask for suggestions of other bands to check out! You beat me to the punch! 😃
@@worduser899 you’re right, What about me is a must, maybe the best piece from We Like It Here, that’s why I recommended Jeff to start with Lingus 😉

You gotta tune in to my interview with Jonah cuz we talk about Stevie Wonder (it’s in part 2 or 3 of the interview)!

Hahahaha! That was such a great song to do a reaction video for! I had so much fun. I’ll be doing more Premiers cuz the chat was so much fun! About where are you located?
Yeah I was definitely noticing that Jonah-Jacob thing., very heavy in this song, and I know they are friends.
@@StrateleStudios I live in Berlin, Germany and today there is BIG government election day for district, federal land + the Federal Republic of Germany. It´s impossible to do more decisions for the future election wise...
@@matto9734 the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin?
@@StrateleStudios ;-) yup, plus the districts of Berlin, plus the whole Federal Republic
Actually, I think that the back round vocals were much closer to Take 6 than MT. But yeah, stupendous!
Probably, I’m personally more familiar with MT so they came to mind 😊
@@StrateleStudios What a thrill it must have been to interview Jonah, and what a humble guy he is! KUDOS.
@@StrateleStudios I have met Man Tran a few times. Janice Seigel grew up near where I grew up in Seattle. Met Tim and Alan, too. Great artists.
7 months on, but I still have to say, Jeff, that this is one of the funnest reactions to Jonah’s ‘Bad’!
Hair-raising, jaw dropping, brilliant…. 🔥

Hahahaha thanks man. That’s a fun one! Ya I saw that breakdown, so many tracks!
@@StrateleStudios pretty interesting, yeah, also his choice of sounds ☺️👍
Jeje.I told U when I suggested Bad by Jonnan.Its INSANE
Actually, bro, the background doesn't sound like Manhattan Transfer. It sounds JUST LIKE Take 6 (if you've ever heard them).
I think it is time for you to lead us down the path of Jacob Collier. A 5 time Grammy winning 26 year old who is a musical genius... Please start with his arrangement of Lionel Richie's All Night Long. He plays all the instruments and did all the arrangements including the orchestra.. Take 6 is with him in this as well!!...

yay live! :D
That’s was fun!
When youre in to side projects you should react to Henriks bass solo in the Jack Gardiner/Owane Song U. T. F. F.
I followed your advice and OMG they are awesome! It´s good to see other sides of Henrik apart from DL and what a beautiful solo he catered to that song...
I shot my reaction to this tune, loved it!!! Need to edit the footage and post now!
Anomalie is a fucking legend, you should check out his other work sometime!
I really need to…I love his solo
Since your journey of dirty loops is done soon, i would love for you to check out Cody Fry & Cory Wong featuring Dynamo - Better and Want Me Back live sessions!
Amazing funky and jazzy pop music, it is audible crack.
Where do you start with a project like that?!!
I know…so mind blowing but we need to do some vocals like that for Hollander (hint hint) 😃
Ya baby ya!
What would your personal choice be, if you would asking these guys to make a cover?
Great question! I’d love to hear them do a remake of “If You Want Me To Stay” by Sly and the Family Stone!
Interesting choice indeed! 👌
Definitely an interesting choice!
I would ask for Inca Roads by Frank Zappa.
@@MiQBohlin can you imagine them pushing THAT song harder 😂
Totally!
This is Michael Jackson on steroids. Incredible.
Hahaha for sure!!!
😊✌️

Jeesus…
Hahahaha yaz!!!
I'm pretty sure back vocals came from Jacob Collier
Understand why you would think that but it’s Jonah doing all the backing vocals himself
Interesting, I could definitely see that.
@@birger4788 Yeah, I re-watched de original flix and you're right. It is a very Jacob Collier's style arrangement.
Is this info available online somewhere? If not let me know and I can ask Jonah.
@@StrateleStudios Hi!
No, I have not searched. I thought it was JC but I was mistaken. As I said before, it's a very JC's style arrangement (wall of voices, half/quarter time ending, etc).
Thanks for asking!
Heres a new one:- hope you like it. ua-cam.com/video/GR0ZdAHbLuk/v-deo.html
