What an absolutely amazing find thanks to the suggestion left in my comments. So much more I want to do in so little time......

Buy me a cup of ☕? - LOL - My daughter suggested that I put my Venmo link because of all the coffee I go through doing these reaction videos :) - Actually, if you do drop into the Venmo it goes towards the non-profit kid's things I do - www.venmo.com/A...

A reaction channel where the guy actually knows things, what a concept
Yeah, I hear ya, but sometimes normy reactions are so spontaneous.

Lol, great comment.

Short summary. Jonah (keys & vocals), Henrik (bass) and Aron (drums) met at "Södra Latin" (Southern Latin) upper secondary where Jonah studied Classical theory while Henrik and Aron studied jazz. Henrik and Aron jammed a lot getting very tight as musicians and later hooked up with Jonah. All three continued their studies at Stockholm's Royal College of Music. There is much more that can be found on Wicki. I live in Sweden and love these guys as I do so many other Swedish artists.
Quincy Jones manages these guys so you know they are the real thing. Amazing technicality with equal amounts of musicality.
Why not simply listen instead, whether they are the "real thing" or not? If Quincy Jones is indeed involved in some way here, that could actually explain that pop-ish sugar coating that I find a little repulsing. But they are great jazz players, no doubt.
Herr Bönk I agree that just listening to them should be enough to know the quality of their abilities.
Exactly! All I needed to know was Q (my mentor and idol producer) had anything to do with the guys and I knew they were legit. Remember he's the one who discovered the Brothers Johnson.
I only listen to Quicy Jones approved artists
@@herrbonk3635 They were playing like that before they were signed with Quincy Jones
What makes this song so special is what it meant when it came out. Dirty Loops came on the scene in the early 2010s doing fusion overs of pop songs. They wrote their first album of originals, in 2014, and proved that they were more than just the world's most interesting cover band. They toured extensively to support that album ("Loopified"). I was lucky enough to see them in 2015.
After the tour, they went in to produce their 2nd original album, and ran into what a lot of bands do - the sophomore slump. Sometimes a band can't make the magic happen again, sometimes they want to go in different directions - regardless, they went their separate ways for a few years.
In 2019 they dropped "Work Shit Out". This song. Many had forgotten about them, but as a hardcore fan this was a message. Dirty Loops had worked shit out, and came back stronger than ever. Now, finally, they are coming back to the US. I cannot wait to see them again in April! Thanks for the review, as a dude of your vintage, and probably a similar musical background, I am digging what you have to say! It was such a blast to watch a true music fan (one who plays so you really understand) hear this for the first time and be amazed, just as I was when I heard this song back in 2019.
Rush was always my favorite band. It's so awesome that I have a new band that is at that level (albeit it with a totally different sound). It's a rad time to be alive! :)
Honestly, it seems that what made the sophomore album slump was not so much issues between the "Loops", but David Foster [they were signed to him for the first album] and his "vision" for them.
Like Chaka Kahn said. The music world hasnt seen anything like this in decades!!
The vocalist is an absolute monster,the bassist is an absolute monster
And the drummer is an absolute monster!! A team of super stars that has raised the level of musicianship to a never before seen level. Classical/ pop/jazz/rap skills all into one. Great to see. Looking forward to many more years of their creations. Hopefully they will inspire some young kids to actually playing instruments and to appreciate more than your “basic”pop and rock. My eight year old daughter knows every lick and riff of their song’s at this point. I’m so proud!!!
Dude, I've listened to this track countless times and ALWAYS explode with disbelief at their collective conceptual genius.
But I stayed until the very end because your level of understanding and ability to dissect what we're hearing is priceless to me.
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you, Ralph 🤙🏽
Well said! I concur!
@@KeyOfGeebz More DL reactions...please please pretty please with a cherry on top.
@@KeyOfGeebz Please check out their version of Thriller with Cory Wong. It's epic and even includes an instrument most people have never seen before near the end.
@@shorey66You mean Corey Wong and the "Delta Force" (The sax guys). Check out "The Fearless flyers" and "Vulfpeck"...
No words is right that drummer is on another level of comprehension. Words don't cut it. Beauty
His auditions to all the music collages in Sweden are legendary.
Two words: German Engineering.
@@stephenbrown3653 German?
@@stephenbrown3653 They're all swedish.
one of the best music videos ever for me, love your reaction

DESTROY ALL MONSTERS
@@musicthroughroughtimes4439 nee, bist du nicht ^^ ich hab auch nach reaktionsvideos geguckt xD
Been a Dirty Loops follower since they hit the scene. 3 guys who went to music school together in Sweden. They started by coming up with insanely good versions of well known pop tunes and posted them on TH-cam and gained traction that way. Eventually put out a solo album but broke up right after that (2014). Last year they got together again, now under management by Quincy Jones. All 3 have always been excellent musicians but Jonah and Henrik always took the spotlight before. Very evident that Aron improved his drumming chops a lot during the hiatus and now they are even more off the charts impressive musically as a band. Oddly enough what I hear a lot of particularly during the keys solo parts is Pat Metheny Group / Lyle Mays. It's also uncanny how close yet unique Jonah sounds vocally compared to Michael Jackson (maybe that's why Quincy likes them). The new EP Phoenix which includes this tune is insanely good. Hope they can get out and tour again in the near future.
I thought the exact same thing about the piano part sounding like Lyle, it reminds me of As Falls Witchita/It's for You
That explains a lot. Thanks.
Dirty loops, Jesus Molina, Gabriella Montero and Jacob Collier are musicians that just makes my hair stand. Virtuous musicians with genius level musicianship. Absolutely amazing! Listening to this level of performance just makes my eyes tear up
These guys are absolutely amazing, they are a rare Gem, this one starts out Poppy but turns to an incredible jazz fusion.
Beyond their amazing skills what draws in me in is that they are having fun and it makes the music contagious.
Please be advised these guys were “discovered” by Quincy Jones... You might be interested to check out another of his discoveries... 23 year old multi-instrumentalist arranger engineer producer and 3 octave vocalist Jacob Collier... my best intro video suggestions would be “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing” or “Flintstones Theme”
KNOWER is on the same list i think. Jacob Collier should be a treat for someone who studied vocal harmony and arrangement.
Actually they were ”discovered” by Andreas Carlsson who is a good friend of Qs. (So I’ve heard)
They also worked with David Foster. But that was many years ago...
@@klegdixal3529 Clowncore...
React to dirty loops - Next to you. Please.
Yes, please!
This one is a must!
Agreed! Please
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Oh yeah! Next to you is a must!
All three musicians are out of this world. The singer (and keyboards), Johah Nilsson his transitions from chest voice to head voice (absolutely *not* falsetto) and back are absolutely flawless.
That is for sure falsetto
@@ROVA00 Nope, it is head voice. I know, I can tell, I used to be a singer.
@@VeraNarishkin Head voice, falsetto, these terms don't have a consistent meaning amongst pedagogies and musical styles. Different nomenclature have been established to try and fix the problem but haven't really caught on (I like TA-dominant and CT-dominant for chest/head respectively). Actually most of what he's doing is a mix voice anyway, although I suppose some people don't like to say mix because they don't like the concept... Which is fucking whack because most pop music is sung with a balance of TA and CT activity
HUGE metal head here, but I love all genres. There's so many gifted musicians of all styles. I've watched a few of their videos and they're incredibly talented.
Welcome to Dirty Loops. I’m always in awe of their work.
Masterful
Moree dirty loops.. pleaseee🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Several years ago, I got to meet these guys before a show... and they were as cool, and they are talented, and their soundcheck was epic.
What's amazing about Dirty Loops, is not only their virtuoso level ability, but songs like Sayonara Love, Hit Me, and Lost In You are fucking amazing addictive pop songs.
Sounds like a movie score.......Pure excellence.
You should do their new song "Follow the Light"
If you go to their website, one of the musical influences they mention is the Pat Metheny Group. That piano solo, especially at the beginning, really reminds me of Lyle Mays' playing style on a song like "First Circle". Like you I am just learning about Dirty Loops. Amazing musicianship. Definitely a band to watch.
Lee’s Summit Missouri baby
Yeah, the drummer really is that good.
Dirty Loops are PHENOMS! Even as a mid age opera singer, I know great music from modern artists when I hear it! Altho not crazy about him, I do know David Foster is/was producing them (& arranging too?).
Thank you for promoting Dirty Loops
It's fun watching you discover that the "vocalist" is actually an outrageous classical pianist phenom, who happens to be able to sing, too. ;~)
Definitely cross appreciation. Periphey, Polyphia, Dirty Loops... These are 3 of my favorite bands just doing phenomenal work.
@Roberto Vidal Garcia I think I understand what you are saying. Dirty Loops' composition is exceptional when you listen to the chord constructions. They apply more complex music theory than the bands I listed. You make a good point.
"WORK SHIT OUT" in my book best song of the year.
Try some Tigran Hamasyan stuff.... May I suggest the title track from "An Ancient Observer", from 2017.
Tigran is amazing, I second this.
Definitely. I personally prefer Drip from Berklee, and then try to identify a genre : )
and it has dropped down guitar behind a 'fusion-jazz' at places : )
Chiming in here to recommend 'Nairian Odyssey' from the same album, absolutely my favourite piece of his.
Markos and Markos!
All bands/musicians who have the ability to draw people to their sound without asking them for what they want are worth a listen. No matter what genre. That's why Tool and Dirty Loops might not turn up on the same scene but we are willing to go to both of them. Keep it up, great commentary!
WOW right when he played those block chords I screamed “WAIT this solo is soooo similar to lingus in the sense of how it’s constructed” and then you brought it up lmao, similar intuition
after hundreds the craft and practice.... magic
"What Do you say about that??" Stark genius is about all I can muster.
thanks
I heard them play this live in May. The drummer ruptured the snare. Absolutely mind blowing stuff
Dirty Loops have completely spoiled me! Everything going forward has to measure up to this stratospherically high bar the "boys" have set! Also, a terrific review from someone who completely gets them!
My first thought was "If you are writing down some talking points, better get a bigger sheet of paper." :)
They are arguably the best in the world at what they do, trained at a level higher than Juliard, so the "Jesus, these guys are impossibly good." reaction is appropriate.
Great to see someone with knowledge of composing react the way he did to listening to Dirty Loops. I too was completely blown away the first time I heard this band. What a talented three piece band with a lead vocal that rivals Stevie Wonder. Fantastic!
Nice that you picked up on what Jonah plays and see it in Corey Hendry`s solo on Lingus....great upload, thanks!
Amazing bit some people miss. Trademark switch to counter point rhythms, typically switching "four on the floor" to upbeat and triplets on the high hat at the bridges, then crashing back into the groove...never missing a lick. Further in, the groove still lingering in the background on the high hat while the composition floats through the keyboard improvs. Stunning craftsmanship. These guys are new on my radar, but...holy cow!!!
I agree with Andrei (2 comments below) as my Brother (64 on 3/24) recently retired playing jazz Trombone after playing 54 years, and he introduced me to Dirty Loops this past summer. These three are EXTREMELY talented, and have been for some years. Their writing and playing keeps getting I hope they stay together a long time. They innately "read" each other very well. Try 'World on Fire'.
Great to hear new groups in a pop-adjacent track using modes.
They are all next level musicians!
I love these guys as well. The closest thing I could think of that they remind me of conceptually was Jamiroquai.
Not necessarily because of their sound (although they do both like to play around with funk and jazz) but because it's kind of "radio-ready" music that also has that insane level of musicianship and musical theory. In a few of their songs some parts get a bit too jazzy for a wider audience I think but they manage to produce a gem that doesn't feel like a regurgitated pop formula while still being easy enough to listen to that you could play it to most people without a second thought.
Also I think one of the coolest things about the metal community is that there's a big appreciation for skill in playing an instrument and writing music, even if it's not someone's personal favourite style of music. Most metalheads I've met could also enjoy and appreciate the talent, soul and work in other styles of music. So in that sense I think people who aren't familiar with the metalscene in general might sometimes underestimate how open the scene actually is to other influences. That's sort of embodied in bands like Opeth who are metal but also kind of hard to put in a definitive box when you listen to several albums of theirs.
yes, mind completely blown.
I 💜💜💜💜 your reactions! I'm in tears with it all!
3:59 The rhythmical sequence in the being is a berimbau; an Afro-Brazilian single string instrument played with a rock and a thin stick. It's not synthesised; they really sound like that :)
This piece of music, to me, is like a successful Trojan Horse. The pop-sounding intro is a Trojan Horse luring listeners to accept it and then once it's in there.. it opens up and the music-warriors gets out and shreds everyone. I assume a lot of pop-lovers got converted into listening to stuff like Snarky Puppy and such bands as well because of this.
Oh man, you're going to have a transcendental experience when you listen to Jacob Collier. A modern-day complete composer in every sense of the word. Just go to his Wikipedia (it's worth it) and decide for yourself what you want to hear. I would suggest songs, but his contributions to music are important enough to actually take the time to learn about his story/bio and approach and then go to his youtube channel with some idea in mind. It's like if you combined Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Prince, Sting, Bobby McFerrin, Pat Metheny, Frank Zappa, Snarky Puppy, modern classical, and music from Brazil, Morocco, Mali, and much more into one person. Steve Vai called him a new paradigm shift in music history, for good reason. He's collaborated with over 150 artists and is still just 26. He even wrote a song for Steve Vai and had him appear in his 3rd album (The song is called "Do You Feel Love/Outro")
But if you'd like starting suggestions for videos, maybe check out "Hideaway", or "Moon River" (Both on the softer, but epic side). For something more energetic, maybe pick his cover of "PYT" or his collaboration with Snarky Puppy on "Don't You Know" (an original rearranged for the bigger band, might be the most appropriate for your channel so far, but they are ALL incredible).
Every arrangement of his is a new journey. He's managed by Quincy Jones (Like Dirty Loops) but is self-produced and records/mixes everything himself in his room. 4 Grammys so far. Hyper-creative genius. Once in a lifetime for sure.
That guy is the most obnoxiously unfair music wizard ever...they should've got him a role in the new Bill and Ted movie...
@@Egoblivion he is definitely music personified.
hmm, compelling tip, I'll have to check this out.
@@mikeg3439 you won't regret it. Even if you don't "click" with his style, it's worth knowing that someone like that is actually real. What adds an extra edge to his music is how encouraging and inspiring he is as a speaker and descriptor of how he creates. A great teacher and eternal student who cares about everything and everyone, and shares his best ideas freely.
He helped me realize I can be empathetic and open-minded about connecting with other musicians and styles, without compromising my individuality and freedom.
@@Proghead88 brother I'm already subscribed after listening to two songs. Stylistically I'm all over the place from Mongolian Metal to Miles Davis, I love any good music.
"What do you say about that?" ...The most beautiful drum solo I've ever heard!!!!!!! And also because the other guys join and that's just so obvious, so well composed!!!
I hope i'm not too late, but PLEASE do "Lost in You" by Dirty Loops. This is one of the most gifted bands out there right now.
I usually only make it through about 30 seconds of these review videos, but I am as impressed with your knowledge and expression/impression as I am by the music.
Great review! I discovered Dirty Loops before they became a TH-cam sensation. They thrill me even more today. A completely new breed, trust me, I know quality when I see it, and that since 1970...
Dirty Loops is amazing, they are very technical musicians and flow together perfectly!
When I say I'm a music lover, this is what I'm talking about. I'm that cross-over guy who will always enjoy great musicianship, whether it be Progressive Metal or Rock, all flavors of Power and , Symphonic Metal, Jazz Fusion, Folk, A Capella, Choral, Musical Theatre, etc., etc.
Have been following these guys since their beginning of Loopifying pop music covers.
YES, you've been reacting to all of my favorite music so far. Dirty Loops is on another level. I found out about them through the guitarist for Periphery, a prog metalcore band you should definitely check out.
That drummer seems for sure classically trained. I don't know about the drummer, but I wouldn't be at all surprised. If you are interested in drummers, Thomas Lang is another classically trained drummer, and he is amazing as well. He arranged a song titles "Dog" just to showcase some sick drumming. You should check it out for sure.
I wanna not ready for this is like finding greatness. These guys are so talented
You Sir are the most knowledgeable Reaction TH-camr without a doubt. Thank you for being more than a typical "OMG" type reacter. Dirty Loops are in their very own Musical category!
Michelin food-level - very nice
the licc at 12:13 :o
I agree: that was epic. Craftsmanship and creativity. Thanks for sharing you comments.
Our very own Swedish Dirty Loops 🙏🇸🇪🙏🇸🇪🙏
Hahaha! I am just cracking up at the places you stop the video because I feel the same way! I LOVE watching first reactions to the magnificence of Dirty Loops. We are blessed to be able to witness what they do. Nice job!
Love this band, thanks for reviewing!
I love how you compared the one part where jonah was playing them block chords, and compared it to where cory henry played in lingus! Great reaction, new subscriber here! God bless!
They play fluent 'each other.'
Still here! I about fell off my chair when I first heard these guys....
I've been listening to Dirty Loops since 2014... recommendation from a friend in Brazil... I'm in Melbourne, Australia...
They are simply amazing!
welcome to the club of loopified! great review
Hey, thanks! 🤙
Dude this channel has the best music and you do a great job of adding some depth to it. Thank you!
Just found your reaction videos to my 2 favourite ‘new’ bands of recent years, Snarky Puppy and Dirty Loops. Just as you can get goosebumps listening to the craftsmanship of these guys, you can get goosebumps watching someone else ‘get it’. You totally get it. Would love to see your reaction to anything from The Nightfly. 40 years old and still astonishing in every conceivable way. Loving your input 👍🏻❤️
At 7:45 that bass build was brilliant.
can you believe this is the only Dirty Loops reaction Key of Geebz has done?
There is definitely a crossover appreciation. I love this band, but tool brought me here. I was subbed to polyphia when they had less than 3000 subs, and I show everyone the Jinjer video you just uploaded.
Edit: I just saw you did my favorite snarky puppy song too. I love all this stuff.
They are so extremely great. And and an example of the combination of extreme talent and the Swedish publically funded educational system.
love your reaction
Love their work and their covers as well- such an unreal coordination and tightness in their music
If stuff like this was played in the radio, modern pop music would have a much better reputation..
I consider myself more a rock/metal listener but this is just great music.
That was fun. And technically perfect. These guys know what to do. They work the shit out. And I love your reaction.
I love his reaction to Henrik when he starts opening up with the more aggressive bass line. I've been listening to DL for years and I still get that face lol.
Just not sure what the viewer's age has to do with anything. These days, if someone is 70, they could very easily have been a huge jazz fusion or heavy metal or funk fan, it's not like once you turn 50 you only listen to music from 1960 or before. I'm 52 and the Beatles are "before my time" in terms of how I grew up.
It’s almost as fun watching you get flashed as watching them. I had the same reaction the first time around. Maybe the first band in a while to really do something amazing and new.
2:22 Exactly the face I made when I first heard where the bassline was at...Jeez, man!
Please review Dirty Loops & Cory Wong - Thriller!
Best reaction to Dirty loops, good analysis, and knowhow. Great.
Thoughtful, comprehensive and authentic. Can't ask for much more from a reaction. Watching your face during the playing was a real treat too. You can really tell when someone loves the music. Don't know if its come up but from a compositional standpoint Loop's song "Next to You" is epic in a similar way that "Bohemian Rhapsody" is epic. They put in a bit of everything, rock, funk, R&B, gospel, and it so works. I'd really love to hear your take. It should blow your mind-I can't be the first to suggest "Next to You?"
Love your analysis of these songs. Thank you for your work, man! Best of luck on this channel, I hope it keeps growing, you deserve it.
Just insane players!
I've been listening to them for years. They are so talented, each one of them in their own right. Dave Foster featured them in one or two of his Concerts and I think he was blown away. These are not POP Artists although they play a lot of Artists covers that you wouldn't expect, like Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, and Justin Bieber, believe it or not... You'll find these in YT as well. Good Review. Thanks for it!
I think I'm going to make a habit of commenting a lot of your videos. I don't comment on videos! Almost EVER! But here I am, posting my third comment on your channel.
You know what's amazing? Seeing you portrait and convey a lot of what I enjoy in music. I'm almost sure that I know what you are admiring when you do. It's like "Ha! He loved that modulation" or "Ah! He didn't see that half note triplet coming up"
The drummer is on another level
I had never heard of this band. I am now a fan. Thank you.
Also, if you enjoy singers with amazing, powerful high voices, check out Leprous...
Speaking as a 'metalhead' (power, prog, symphonic, old school thrash etc etc) the band Dirty Loops just blows me absolutely sideways - since I first saw them back in the day when they did their own versions of Lady Gaga and J.Bieber... Truly unbelievable skills, and they have a great vibe going too - these guys are very good friends indeed!
I'm active as a musician and writer / arranger in many styles, and at the tender age of 55 what's now considered an 'old guy'. Doesn't bother me though 🤣🤣🤣
Never stop being surprised ever so often & keep appreciative of all the good stuff out there!! 🤘😜🤘
Thank you and whoever suggested this! Love both your metal/prog reactions and the jazz stuff too - my son went from being in a tech death metal band to currently doing his masters in Jazz composition so I'm having a great time listening to everything on the channel so far. Keep it up!
Music is all about trajectory- stoked to hear your son is consuming the the education. Never know, he could back around and fuse the both :)
Great analysis,love your reaction, good change to hear someone react with knowledge
these guys are all top of the chain!!! All of them could be or are studio musicians
this is my new favourite song now. got lyle mays vibes here (love the PMG since 1979)
