SHO MADJOZI - "CHALE"

With David, we revisit an old favorite...

[8.33]

Will Adams: Immensely fun, from the ensemble cast of sound effects -- mad scientist lightning zaps! big fat FM bass! gym class whistles -- to the call-and-response hook. Like any good party, it makes you lose track of time, and you don't even notice you've been grooving to the same song for six minutes. [8]

Crystal Leww: Where Tyla felt like a showcase for amapiano's potential to showcase something sexy, "Chale" is Sho Madjozi's showcase for the genre to show energy. This feels faster than amapiano really is -- I'm really struck by the fight atmosphere created during the chant of "You wasn't there when we was shooting in the gyyyyyyyym!" So much more charming coming from Sho than Fucking Drake. [6]

Frank Kogan: Sho Madjozi and the rest of the music are lifting each other (as opposed to back on "John Cena," when she and the beats were more in combat). The lyrics seem ambivalent about fame -- an ambivalence that was all over her last video, "Toro" -- but in this vid she's totally at ease with the fans, inviting them and their selfies into the dance. The sound of gqom/amapiano is a suspense-film buildup, rising tension yet a groove you can relax in forever, "Chalé" doing it about as well as it can be done. [9]

Nortey Dowuona: TBOY Daflame opens the song with an ominous synth riff, then punctuates it with bouncy log drums Sho rides expertly. When they take over the mix and even slide off key, Sho slips out, and as a soccer whistle enters the mix, tinny and shrill, it takes the center. The drums drop out except for the hihats, and Sho pops back up, her chorus bigger and prouder, a sharp aphorism from the Friggin Canadian suddenly alive and a gleeful taunt. "Chale" blurs until it becomes a brick, hard, solid, frozen in the mind. [10]

Tim de Reuse: Under the horror-show drone of a single hazy supersaw, she flexes, relaxes, paces, and chants, but only just enough, lest she appear to try too hard; her own voice is a sparse, percussive element, the rest of the space filled with a meaty, developing beat. An excellent strategy to self-celebration: make the party do the work. There's no other way you could get away with a track like this being six minutes. I could listen to a loop of that shuffling, syncopated bass-breakdown for sixteen. [8]

Micha Cavaseno: Nearly every Sho Madjozi single feels like the synths have to be close to as playful as her own rhymes while also seeming like they're lurking in an unwelcome manner. It's kind of astonishing as to how many songs a person can make that sound close to tricksy without the artist coming off as anything more than bright and sunshiney. Somehow you don't even think Tboy Daflame's freakout breakdown of subs and whines is anything more than fun & games in spite of its industrial calamity. Can't begin to describe how confounded that makes me, and how fun it is to be so taken aback. Maybe that's the point! [7]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: Something I didn't know I needed: an amapiano track that functions as a contemporary American jock jam. [9]

Brad Shoup: I know it's provincial, but I keep trying to figure how the WNBA can put this into a commercial while ignoring the original Kobe joke. I love how Sho's blithe and kinetic, and how you can hear Tboy Daflame mashing the pads. [7]

Ian Mathers: There are a lot of different little sonic flourishes I love here, but the mad scientist electricity sound might be my favourite. Then there's the bits where it keeps sounding like a Squarepusher song is about to break out, and how good both the title refrain and the "shooting in the gym" bits are every time they come back. I was genuinely shocked to finally notice it's over six minutes long -- the whole thing practically flies by. You pull a salt and pepper diner on me with this one, and I wouldn't notice for a good long time. [9]

Katherine St Asaph: Infectious joy in a generous portion. [9]

Alfred Soto: The walls of this single keep expanding with each second, and the combination of ruminative, brassy, and mysterious that I love in good Neneh Cherry and Rosalía doesn't quit. When it yields to beeps and chirps, it reaches peak sublimity. No, I wasn't there when she was shooting in the gyyyyyyym. [8]

David Moore: 2023 was the year I managed to drag myself out of a nasty little pit I'd been growing uncomfortably accustomed to, and subsequently I started listening to and writing about music again. My lodestar was Sho Madjozi, an artist I had brief but serendipitous encounters with in the past through the Jukebox and then Tom Ewing's People's Pop Polls. On "Chale," she augmented the deluge of amapiano that I was starting to understand at a technical level with an infectious pop call-and-response chorus, inviting the whole world to the party with a personalized golden ticket. And there was Sho Madjozi herself in the center, incandescent, always on the verge of bursting out in laughter, and you could feel yourself breaking, too, like you're sharing an inside joke. I carried the "shooting in the gym" line like a talisman guarding me against the hundred leaden Drake songs I would encounter later, hiding like sneaky little fungus trolls in my playlists. The song came out and February, and I never stopped listening to it all year, beaming, hardly believing my luck: I was finally open to something wonderful, and this was the gift I received. [10]

MeTV Music

This can be a 'checklist of electronic music genres', consisting of genres of electronic music , primarily created with electronic musical instruments or electronic music technology A distinction has been made between sound produced utilizing electromechanical means and that produced using digital technology. If you are still having hassle figuring out the style, the arrangement of the tune might give you some clues. For instance in genres like chill-out and ambient there's a distinct lack of any structure, as the tune doesn't progress radically over its period. 7. Hennion A. The production of success: an anti-musicology of the pop song. Common Music. 1983 Jan 1;three:159-ninety three. A controversial term in hip-hop, many "conscious rappers" do not wish to be labeled as such. Nevertheless, www.Audio-transcoder.com there is no denying the importance of this subgenre, which promotes ideas such as information of self and consciousness of large-ranging social points. Many different subgenres accomplish the identical, however various rap (a better phrase) is labeled as such as a consequence of its smoother, extra laid-back production type. Indian classical music is the only music that makes such an extensive use of, and offers such an importance to musical modes. In contrast to Western, Chinese language, South Asian and Japanese music, Indian music locations emphasis on the artist's interpretation of a particular mode and his personal model of singing, moderately than a flawless facsimile of a composition written by another person. Because of this, ensembles are very uncommon in North Indian music, though it is a crucial part of the South Indian Carnatic college of music. Album sales have lengthy been a key measure of the recognition of particular person genres, and yr after yr jazz album gross sales continue to fall. Favourite among kids everywhere in the world, hip hop is likely one of the most popular modern genres of music. Hip hop music emerged as an offshoot of the hip hop movement within the Seventies. Centered in Bronx, the motion quickly spread to the remainder of the US, and hip hop music benefited from the growth, changing into one of the adopted genres of the Nineteen Seventies-1980s. Other H-topics had been much more dynamic. Between 1960 and 2009, the imply frequency of H1 declined by about 75%. H1 captures the usage of dominant-seventh chords. Inherently dissonant (because of the tritone interval between the third and the minor-seventh), these chords are generally used in Jazz to create tensions which might be eventually resolved to consonant chords; in Blues music, the dissonances are sometimes not resolved and thus add to the characteristic ‘dirty' color. Accordingly, we find that songs tagged blues or jazz have a excessive frequency of H1; it is particularly widespread in the songs of Blues artists similar to B.B. King and Jazz artists similar to Nat ‘King' Cole. The decline of this subject, then, represents the lingering death of Jazz and Blues within the Hot a hundred. Only a few classical musicians I've labored with have even heard of this idea of really feel, and even those with good rhythm do not obsess over it to the purpose that jazz musicians have to in order to obtain an anticipated stage of competence. So to a jazz musician, the classical musician's sense of rhythm can seem bafflingly substandard. The group had gathered to listen to the latest in digital dance music, so when a handful of bluegrass musicians shuffled onto the stage last March, they may as well have been astronauts-and virtually immediately, the blogosphere was abuzz with confusion. The study contributors were recruited via notices put up in Marienhospital Herne and in the MA building on the Medical College at Ruhr College Bochum. We focused healthy volunteers, not sufferers. All subjects had been examined in response to a strictly outlined research protocol consisting of six phases ( eTable 1 ). The music sequences had been randomized before the beginning of the research by means of computerized random number generation. 60 subjects (30 males and 30 ladies) had been included within the intervention group, of whom half were youthful than 50 and the opposite half older than 50 years of age. The age and sex distribution of the management group was identical. Random allocation was undertaken before the beginning of the study by the principal investigator (HJT); the study physician (GV) admitted individuals into the examine and, on the study day, allotted them to the respective interventions (musical genres). Just like the Gqom style aesthetic , Afrobeat has been round for some time. A mix of hip-hop, funky house, and native African music from London (through Africa diaspora), Ghana, and Nigeria, Afrobeat had originally been fairly restricted to elements of the African continent and the UK, but it's catching fireplace internationally. British-Ghanian artist Mista Silva's Murda" is a great instance of the Afrobeats vibe, which sounds nearly like a extra rhythmically and sonically various musical cousin of Reggaeton.

Hokum blues is basically blues music with sexual overtones. The genre was fashionable within the US in the Nineteen Twenties and '30s, particularly throughout Prohibition. On the time, there was a general belief that only people who engaged in sex, playing, or other questionable actions stored late nights. We began with our record of 1369 genres of music (and rising), sorted by popularity to deliver up the extra obscure ones at the bottom of the record. And then we plowed by means of in that order, plucking out those that sounded, nicely, strange to our ears, in terms of the music they had been describing in English. 1971 song Hocus Pocus was high within the charts in numerous nations. It was performed by Dutch progressive rock band Focus, made up of performers from the pit band for the Dutch production of the rock musical Hair. three) non-musical sound consists of unstructured noises (we call it noise). When was the final time Brittney Spears or Madonna gave you a free album on-line? 50 Cent helped to revolutionize the music biz by dropping free mixtapes, and ever since, hip-hop followers have gotten some actual classics and never needed to pay a dime. Tasks like Drake' s So Far Gone and Wiz Khalifa's Kush and Orange Juice have been literal presents. Finally all songs that music style was both missing or unknown had been eliminated. Also all songs with invalid year enter (less than 1970) have been removed. HILBRUNER, M. (2015). "It Ain't No Cake Stroll": The Influence of African American Music and Dance on the American Cultural Landscape. Virginia Social Science Journal, 50 73-eighty. Common music in Kenya. The electric bass guitar imitates the melodies of the standard Kenyan eight-string lyre called Nyatiti. All things, good or bad, should come an finish, and music trends are no exception.

JUNGELI FT. IMEN ES, ALONZO, ABOU DEBEING & LOSSA - "PETIT GÉNIE"

Unlike our past two songs, no relation to murder...

[6.69]

Nortey Dowuona: "C'est pas avec amour qu'on achète vêtements." It's a very cutting lyric once I found a translation of it ("It's not with love that we buy clothes"), and it's true. Jungeli, as a singer and as a presence (in the video at least), is a sweet, light-hearted kid who radiates joy in any room he enters. His voice is light and silken, and threads through the song even when he's not leading a verse. But it doesn't have gravity or weight, so everything he sings floats, including a Lingala verse close to the end of the track. His interplay with Abou Debeing, who also has a light tenor with a bit of bass, allows for a comfortable hand-off between the two. The lilting guitar melody that Jungeli mimics is light as well: it sidewinds through the drum pattern built by DJ Wills, who's produced for the likes of MHD, Bramsito, and Alrima. Imen Es brings a weightier heft to the chorus when she sings it. Her voice is the highest on the track but feels substantial and firm, a comfortable interpretation of the notes placed in the front of the mix. Lossa's deeper tenor can't do the same, simply dragging as the echoes placed below him fill the track to an uncomfortable and unengaging degree. (Imen Es's return is a blessing.) Alonzo has the deepest voice, the sharpest and most distinct flow, but it's such a short, sharp shock that Jungeli's looping verse lulls you back out of the abrupt switch in intensity. "Petit Génie" is so short that you think there's nothing more there for you, it won't put a career on Jungeli's back. But you listen again. And again. And once more. It's still at #1 — he deserves it.  [8]

Mark Sinker: Such voices. Everyone in the room seems to be making a gently scuffed, breathily perfect pop noise, high or low — but honestly I wonder if Imen Es hasn’t the most beautiful delivery I’ve ever heard, with a kind of folded shiver in it. I hurried off to hear what else she’s recorded — an LP last year called Train de vie – but I came back again, because I think this company is bringing out the best in her.  [10]

Joshua Minsoo Kim: That first warbled vocal sounds like something you’d hear in a Burial track. And really, this is a song about the pleasure of hearing vocals. Each new singer enters the track to revitalize. Best of all is Imen Es; she sounds like water, so pure and clear. [6]

Kat Stevens: It always amazes me when people release summer jams in winter. I can imagine Jungeli is hoping to get this track established well before the Paris Olympics to ensure some tasty beach volleyball montage royalties, but unfortunately it's way too late for a rhythmic gymnastics routine (that shiz needs at least a year of prep). The highlight is Imen Es piercing through the breezy beats like a territorial blackbird — a perfect accompaniment for a fluttering ribbon. Maybe LA 2028? [7]

Kayla Beardslee: “Petit Génie” mixes the frantic whistles and percussion stutters of gqom with sunny guitar and relaxed vocals that feel much more Afrobeats — but it’s all in French, with features from various hip-hop artists (and R&B singer Imen Es, who absolutely eats the men up). The result is pleasant, though the mix of influences feels less like stitching together a tapestry and more like throwing it all in a blender. [6]

Katherine St. Asaph: Groove is OK, but every vocalist here is about 66% as good as they needed to be. [5]

Taylor Alatorre: Am I wrong for thinking that this sounds like a Francophone nightcore remix of "Am I Wrong"? And am I wrong for thinking Nico & Vinz deserve a better one? [3]

Jessica Doyle: If I squint I can see something interesting in the tension between the stated text, pointedly superficial and unsentimental, and the musical atmosphere of friends hanging out and taking turns. I can see why this got popular: it provides a nice backdrop for an outdoor party. But I’m alone right now, so: [4]

Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: I really do love posse cuts. "Petit Génie" serves as a helpful reminder of their benefits – take a collection of middling hooks and verses, staple them together over a pretty but anonymous beat, and achieve something much greater than the sum of its parts. [7]

Thomas Inskeep: A lovely, breezy blend of Afrobeats, hip-hop and R&B, the epitome of ear candy. [7]

Ian Mathers: My French is nowhere near fluent (or remembered; it's been years) enough to keep up with all the different speakers and accents here, but there's a lightness of touch and group-level joy that comes through here, whatever the text actually is. Posse cuts like this can suffer from a lack of consistent quality on the one hand (cf. how annoying I found ArrDee on "Body (Remix)") and not having distinctive enough personalities on the other, but "Petit Génie" doesn't break a sweat threading that particular needle. [7]

Isabel Cole: Feels bigger than it is, in a good way — a sense of richness, lushness even, achieved not through maximalism but through the careful deployment of each component part. I was surprised when I looked at the length by how short it was, also in a good way, as if the song had created such a complete sonic world that time ran differently there. I like how each vocalist brings a slightly different emotional shading, even when they’re singing the same melody. [9]

Leah Isobel: Damn, life is pain. [8]
