Hope he takes this as a compliment but seeing his personality in this interview gives a really good idea of where a lot of fun chaotic vibes came from n.n
hahaha amazing! yeah i def get that vibe too, even before we did this interview in my react video i talk about how much hype the song has lol thanks for your comment raven!
Awesome interview! I love how passionate he is talking about music, I'm glad loona got this song from him. Def an amazing producer who can be open-minded by taking criticism and perfecting his skills, I never knew him until now but he seems amazing. Really admirable Thank u so much for let us know more about him and So What !
thanks so much starlight i appreciate it and im sure david will too! he really knows his stuff, a prolific, hard working producer, its great to see his work with LOONA! i learned a lot just from this interview alone! im glad you enjoyed the video and i appreciate your comment!
It's great to see music production behind the scene stuff like this especially for loona!! I get how his intensity and passion came out in the track, and that's great! big thanks for this!
I don't understand this.. loona fans talking about everglow cos they have more views..look...... loona beat everglow on the 2 things that matter.. album sales GAON official charts everglow came 4 we came 2.... we had 56 number 1s on iTunes.. everglow had hardly any... these 2 things proove that people are buying loons albums and songs more than everglows.. why do you care so much for youtube views? they can be fake or manipulated... what matters is where they are in charts that show record sales
Some reason I wonder what the original sounded like before SM got their mainstream hands on it. It’s currently my favorite song tbh, but I think when korean general public driven producers get their hands on things they try to make things more poppy. Since LOONA’s fanbase is a lot more western I feel like that original would have been more a hit within their base. But honestly, branching out into that korean mainstream sound for one comeback isn’t as bad when it’s subtle this way.
i imagine the demo wouldn't sound too different from the final version and would be subtle changes and extras. in my own experience sometimes the song will need to go through a few iterations whereas others, just get taken. the impression i got from David in this video was it sounded like more structural edits with a few extras thrown in. of course you can always ask him!!
Changes were subtle... i was a couple of sounds added.. but they helped finish it off for sure.. 😊😊 90 percent of the demo is the same as the loona version
david Anthony ah! I gotchu then :) it’s definitely one of those songs you get more and more addicted to the more you listen to it. Fans were expecting a heavy dirty dark, almost scary and hard to listen to, comeback from the build up over so long. So it was really surprising to see SM be involved and the words mainstream be mentioned - but overall it’s really really grown on people after the 2nd listen.
@@madisonhernandez4856 yes it also broke the record of the most number 1 positions on iTunes across the world.. this used to be held by black pink.. now loona have broken that record at 56 countries number 1..
Thank you for your interview with David Anthony! I am not totally certain if David Anthony (who produced Oh My Girl's songs) is the same person as David Anthony Eames, although after a bit of research I assume they are the same person. This confusion arose because on Melon (Korean music streaming service) web page David Anthony is listed as a producer for Oh My Girl songs (for example Liar Liar and Coloring Book), but not for the songs like Cherish, which credits David Anthony Eames. I believe David Anthony here produced Oh My Girl's songs as well, but please correct me if I am wrong. I was getting fed up with people just praising LSM for "SM sound" in So What, totally ignoring the two original producers (David and Anna). Some were even saying a producer for Itzy's title tracks also produced So What. Personally, from So What I got a vibe similar to those of Coloring Book and Liar Liar (and I wonder why lol). I prefer Coloring Book and Liar Liar far more than other "more popular" songs. I am a bit sad that Coloring Book did not receive good recognition. Although my taste in music does not match well with rap heavy songs, I enjoyed So What as to me it felt like melodic portions gradually take larger place in the song as it progresses, especially from the bridge part that comes with (what I believe to be) a key change, then everything coming together after the bridge. Again thank you AZODi and David for this fantastic interview!
@@davidanthony4960/videos/videos Thank you very much for your clarification! It would be great if you could talk about those Oh My Girl songs some time in the future. I wish you the best!
@@davidanthony4960 omg it was you ? Your songs where always my favorites from OMG and So What was sooooo good I am in love with it ! Thank you so much for this amazing masterpiece for LOONA !
thanks lara! glad you appreciate it, i do try to keep this channel positive, non judgemental, create awareness and most importantly, so you can learn something new about K-Pop music production!
I loved this! It's interesting to know how the industry works and how the decisions are made and the process until we get the final product. Thank you and David.
8:47 Fun k-pop history tidbit: "girl crush" as a concept likely grew out of the tomboy image of Lee Tzsche and Lee Sun Hee and started to really hit its stride in 2nd gen when 2NE1 and 4Minute blew up (and obviously nowadays is super-super popular, with groups like Blackpink and Everglow going all in on it exclusively). The actual term was popularized by Little Big Town's song (from 2014; covered by Harry Styles in 2017) and comes from the idea of a nonromantic attraction between women. These days there's definitely an association with the hashtag-girlboss type of aesthetic, but back in the day it wasn't quite so trite and was very much about breaking away from the "lovely" and cute concepts for GGs. 13:02: Imlay (임레이) is a great producer, and when I heard that he was credited on So What I got pretty psyched about it. His track Shurai is still regularly on my commute playlist even after 5 years. Besides So What and his own music, he's also worked with a bunch of SM artists, Yeseo, Sik-K, and others.
I wish there were more content like this on the web. I'm only exploring your channel now, but as they say, better late than never! The interview was great, and I really dig the positive attitude and advice on coping with comments/criticism and on the music making journey. Good stuff!
Thank you so much for uploading this video! This kind of stuff is always interesting to hear... knowing how a song starts and where it comes from gives me more of a connection to the song🥰 Thank you for working with LOONA 🔥🔥
My only criticism for the song is that o wish the past chorus used a different arrangement instead of the same chorus throughout the song. Sort of like a big finale.
This guy is amazing, and I want to assure you that your work was really great some ppl are just nasty and hate LOONA because they're LOONA and would hate on anything they release
Really nice interview, inspiring as always to keep working! Btw, I really like the bits about Lee Soo Man. This is great that he's still personally involved in each song and is so professional at critiquing, knowing exactly what is needed. Good stuff!
Oh lord all this talk and teasing about this awesome track/session i would kill for just even a peak at the track in David's original DAW 🔥❤😎 P.S Major Minor Interchange is always an amazing spice element to any kpop track which David kills!
@@AZODi I'm waiting for the day to see AZODi music on the next big kpop release, i know it's possible, just waiting to scream in excitement when it happens! 😅🙈😎
fascinating interview with david anthony! any chance of him chiming in on the reception to "so what" 1 week later from a producer's point of view? (i know you're busy and booked, david) loved the track, the music arrangement's immaculate.
thanks pot i appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the video! did you watch my previous interview with the topliner of this song Anna Timgren? u should be able to see it on the channel!! thanks again!
this was such an interesting interview, u get so much of the information from the song and the insight to it thanks for doing this interview really enjoyed it! one thing i want to know how's david reaction to so what getting #1 in many countries iTunes
I was very proud and very very happy.. it was a groundbreaking amount of countries.. which if no one breaks that record .. I can take it to my grave hahaha
@@davidanthony4960 orbits from around the world tried the best thing we could and we could never been happier that we took the record for LOONA and people involved behind, thanks david!
If I may ask @david Anthony this.... I wonder who is doing the vocal trill (sounds like a C5-B4 run) just as the last chorus starts, after the bridge? David mentioned Anna Timgren laid down some pretty impressive vocal, or implied that at least, when they did the demo together. So I was wondering if that's a "leftover" from the demo, as I know it happens quite often with songs. Also, David was speaking about reading comments so he could find things to work on in his next production. I, for one, think the production on this is pretty immaculate - but if I may - and don't get me wrong, I understand that the producers are "limited" by the voices they work with or demands by the companies, but I really wish the ad-libs and highnotes at the end were sustained *just* a LITTLE longer? I think it would have helped created an even more "epic" atmosphere - as big belting moments usually do. The LOONA girls have some pipes on them - especially 'Chuu' - I think it would have been possible/realistic.
@@mhentertainment9834 Jinsoul did the note live, but it did not sound anything like the one in the studio version. Her doing it lives does not automatically confirm it. Honestly I've been listening to Loona since Heejin's MV but that really does not sound anything like Jinsoul.
thank you, I agree parts of it are loud and generic. :-) trash I would say is too far but the other 2 at times yes :-) lots of people loved it lots hated it... the song does not define me at all :-)
