    • @josephddd117
      @josephddd117 5 років тому +1

      Comma after sentence closing punctuation. Spelled the word "reviews" wrong (One s not four). Good marks for correct lyrics, with such lengthy and lyric heavy songs words can get jumbled up. Now hold on where is. I lost my Gatorade. Did I leave it in my car? No I must have brought it in with me for I was sipping on it during my walk to the front door. No wait, I didn't walk to my front door, I had my uber driver drag me there. Wait I don't even remember walking to my front door. Why is it so dark. Where am I?

    Best Joji track so far. I love his voice on In Tongues, and honestly SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK is really enjoyable, and something you can listen whenever. It's just really nice and crisp to me. The music video is also very enjoyable. You guys need to give George (Joji) a chance. And you too Melon. You need to review Ballads1 When its released

      @@decentlyaverage9483 I actually love the style, but I think the songs are a little too similar, I absolutely loved "will he" when it came out, but I really couldn't care too much for the whole EP because I couldn't even differentiate the songs too much, i probably would have loved any other song as much as "will he" if I heard em first, but now I don't feel compelled to listen to all of them, I really really really love one and the others feel sadly like the same song. this new one feels like a HUGE step forward i think he's finding a good way of keeping his own style while varying it enough not to make the same song over and over again.
      last thing I want to add is that I miss him rapping, and I think it would fit his style beautifully, I don't wanna complain because I feel like an artist, in order to create, must do what he wants to, so it's fine if he doesn't want to, maybe he doesn't feel it's his thing anymore, but I admit that when I first heard "Thom" I hoped (and still do kinda) that that's what he was gonna sound like, I'm absolutely crazy for that song and if he did something like that blended with what he does now he could be one of my favorites, still I'm hopeful as he has a shit ton of potential and his career just started, and I'm sure he'll find his style, he'll figure out how to use it and make it interesting and dynamic.

    Hello i am relatively new to your channel. I watched some of your reviews and you seem like a pretty great critic. I really liked the way you dissect into the music and critique it layer by layer. I pretty agree with your opinions. I also agree that you having a big following requires you to make and standby your statements but come on dude you didnt have to say that you didnt like Joji's music because of his mellow dramatic and corny syrupy voice. I know Joji is half japanese but you didnt have to blame the Nanking Rapes on him you even went as far to say that you could not differentiate between Hirohito and Joji like wtf.

    I mean, I've been looking forward to this ever since I discovered the live version and fans were beginning to create a decent amount of their own versions. They were amazing for fan creations, but I was DYING for the official release. So maybe I'm biased because the itch has been scratched? but I loved this track. *Disclaimer* I tend to vibe with damn near everything Joji drops, from the lo-fi stuff to the surprisingly (more) upbeat-ish stuff he's been doing with 88-rising. From In Tongues I can definitely see progression to his work, and I think he's only going to get better from here imo. This is really the first time I ever started closely following an artist, actually caring about new stuff AS it comes out and not months / years later, and catching up with the latest news. I hope he goes places, I really do. And if he tours during a time I can afford tickets to see him you bet your ass I will.

    I'd also say that outside of widening his range and playing with different vocal techniques, his voice has also gotten much stronger, I wouldn't be surprised if he went into vocal lessons sometime after his ep, he doesn't have to strain to transition into his higher register or keep in key. this also may be projection on my part, but at the end of the hook when he repeats "dark", that style of belt is very reminiscent of system of a down, really tapping into the emotion

    First off, I just heard about this guy Joji today from my recommended, so not some massive fan or anything; but Anthony, I don't understand your recipe for "quality" in a piece of music. Like you complain about the vocals not being dynamic enough on this guys last EP, but you listen to people like Nick Drake and Elliot Smith and they still made amazing music.... if you were so set on what this recipe was you should just become a producer.

    • @courtlandgavan-glover2395
      @courtlandgavan-glover2395 6 років тому +7

      Fair point, but the fact is that when it comes songwriting Nick Drake and Elliot Smith have a lot more to work with than just vocal dynamics because of instrumental skill and ability to progress a song with emotional dynamics using tone of voice and, importantly, intricate and well thought-out, effectively delivered lyrics
