Music Genre: R&B
How Rhythm and Blues Became the Heartbeat of Contemporary Sound In the ever-evolving landscape of music, where genres rise and fall like the tides, one thing remains constant: the enduring power of rhythm and blues, better known as R&B. This genre, with its roots deeply entrenched in the African American experience, has consistently reinvented itself to remain at the forefront of contemporary…

Signed, Sealed & Delivered (1970), Where I’m Coming From (1971), Stevie Wonder
Early Stevie Wonder still had much of the sentimental grandeur, emotional sincerity and sense of compositional accomplishment as his later, more celebrated works – though all that was intermixed with a greater number of commercial cuts. Of all his early works – Stevie released over 13 studio albums before Music of My Mind – I like Signed, Sealed & Delivered and Where I’m Coming From the best.
Pick(s): ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours’, ‘If You Really Love Me’

Ok i listened to Janis Joplin... can we drop the joke now?
#her voice is grating and not that impressivr#her songs are ok but also boring (consisitent with the psychedelics movement)#like wtf is there?#we all clown on yoko but i'm supposed to believe this broken vacuum cleaner sounding ass is one of the greatest signers of the 60s?#when you had the whole of motown that could own janis' entire discography in a single note?#come on

my review of Moonwalk: hot mess. ★★★.
#i will refer to it#but oh god... it's just#1st of all. the added afterword from 2009 should have been a FOREWORD bc it gives you the context for how this book was made#so they did have a real writer put it together based on long transcripts of interviews one of the publishing people did with mj#if those tapes exist or pieces of then exist i need to find them. i think i've seen some floating around#bc ... the way it's written sounds very michael. it's not well written. so i'm surprised they even had an actual writer do it#but that makes me think maybe the writer just pulled a lot of exact wording from the tapes?#i hope that's how it happened#like the publishing lady said i Also wish michael had been devoted to this project. this could've been really good#i'm interested in anything that comes straight from michael so ultimately i'm just grateful he did a book at all#and really WAS involved in it#but it just. it's a mess. it's disorganized. it's disjointed#it just does not deliver in so many ways#there were so many times i would read a couple paragraphs and be like. wait What. that went Nowhere#there are really wonderful parts of course too#first of all i'm happy to hear him talk about parts of his life he didn't necessarily talk about that much#i find everything he says about motown and esp the mid-late j5 motown years Supremely interesting#everything written about music and dancing and performing is great. seeing the way he thinks about those things. divine. enlightening.#the thing is. the tone is extremely defensive and passive aggressive throughout the whole book#which is amusing and i mostly like it. michael jackson was one petty and spiteful mf. he loved being right and he reiterates that a lot#but bc of the press treatment of more personal things like his appearance and relationships. those parts are just. eugh#like when it comes to music/dance/performance he can defend himself no problem. concrete evidence that he's fucking awesome and he knew it#he brings up dating and stuff and it feels like he was like. floundering. maybe he just couldn't decide how much to share?#idk it just feels like. he won't outright SAY some things but he'll sort of hint at things. and i can't tell if what he's hinting at#is the real truth or him being defensive and wanting to give the impression that he was 'normal' so people would just leave him alone#i can't tell. i really can't. i wanna just believe him but i'm like. wtf do you mean. and then there'll be inconsistencies#like WHAT R U TRYING TO SAY. you might as well just tell me what you WANT me to think and what you want people to stop bothering you about#ok anyways#it definitely feels like they rushed to get it out asap#i have like 10 questions for every page. i feel like a writer/editor should've been working with him in that way

I layered some gated snares on top of a linn drum loop I put together and it’s nice but idk if it’s hitting the way I want it to. I have a few old 80s synths I’ve been playing with trying to find a bass line I like but either it’s coming off too funk sounding or I feel like it sounds like a cheap knock of Billie Jean/Like A Virgin, not that that’s a bad thing but eh.
#this beat started a lot of more dance/R&B ala Janet Jackson sounding but I wanted to try making something more pop rock leaning if you will#so it’s like hm the subtlety of an era with a lot less sounds and instruments#I might just find a Motown song to rip the bass from since the 50/60s were trendy/popular in the 80s
