Alicia Keys "Songs 🔑 In A Minor" is a qualified, certified, and bona-fide classic album! Anytime you can fuse Beethoven, hip-hop, and 70s soul together, you're legit and can really hold your own!
Everyday people think about things on a mostly surface level lol... like if you have zero idea how music is made, you probably wouldn't have noticed this.
"a waterfall of musical genius" is a great way to put it! I think it's really your heart, not your ears, your ears just get the sound there. This kind of music stirs something deep, for sure.
@@sadetwizelve I’m taking about the way she dressed and her mannerisms. As in a had a big crush on her because she stood out from the normal glam girls in videos.
@@sadetwizelvethere is more than one style that can be captivating, just for different reasons. Sometimes just the way music can make you feel, is the captivating part.
I've always known and understood this because i could HEAR it. Growing up in church and listening to and singing gospel music teaches you a lot about how songs and voices are arranged in songs. It teaches you to take note of who is singing which part, so voice recognition becomes a very useful skill and tool. But it's still good to see her explain something I suppose I take for granted. ❤
Yes 🙌 ❤ people don’t have souls they don’t get it. It’s in you not outside 😅You can tell by the music of this generation . Ours saying artists sold their soul but the music was more soulful ❤ much love 💕
All the great artists stack and layer their own vocals. I think Mariah is well known for doing it back in the day. It shows what talent they have. They don't just stand in front of a mic and sing songs given to them. It's literally art!
Pure artistic brilliance and ownership. This is how real artist sound. This is how a REAL Artist writes, conducts, arranges and vocally creates their own art. You go Alicia!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
@@rha8343I agree with the first 2 but Norah jones? That’s the first time in my life I’ve ever heard anybody put her on the top 3. She’s a solid 6. Maybe 7. You like the natural type.i like the exotic type. 1. ashmei rai 2.adriana Lima 3. Angelina Jolie
@@user-bd3gz8fb9cbesides Angelina Jolie, I’ve never heard of the other two ladies. I was able to locate the Lima but not the Rai. Lima is so so. Maybe a 7/10, but yes, I do prefer natural beauty. Ladies who can awake and skip the mirror and makeup, yet still are head-turners.
People really should get tô know Mariah's work >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>3354635363647375848584868596859585 galaxies >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That song actually got on my nerves back then because it was played SO much even though I thought it's a beautiful song...This makes me appreciate it again....
It's like that with a lot of these isolated background vocal videos. Mariah's especially. The beauty is just so fabulous when isolated. Once you hear it then when you hear the full song you can kind of hear it but of course it's not as isolated so it's not as clear.
Oh first time I heard the song when it came out I was like daaaamn she was back up too 😮 you can hear every style she has with each stack. She's always had amazing vocal range
The person who wrote the caption is wrong. The ADDITIONAL background voices she added were not hers. When she said "that's all me" she was specifying the beginning is all her.
@@empresssk Yes, intimate is a good word to use. Such a great experience, made me feel like I was sitting in a cafe despite the whole crowd and the big stage.💫
Everyone is missing the point that she is sharing how her voice (her stacks) were layered with the additional voices of her background singers. The background vocalists on Alicia Keys' song "Fallin'" are Cindy Mizelle, Tammy Saunders, and Andricka Hall: Cindy Mizelle: Background vocalist Tammy Saunders: Background vocalist Andricka Hall: Background vocalist
The way people in art think is weird. Good, but weird. I never thought that was to illustrate the feeling of falling. Now i can hear and it makes sense.
You were suppose to feel it without explanation. Art is appreciated abd integrated not explained or then the artist did not express what they intended. Audience though can be distracted fir many reason!
That was a great Christmas year!!! I had this album, Monica After The Storm, Ashanti Concrete Rose and Chingy album for the anti-skip CD player!!! The nostalgia is heaven!
I actually enjoy listening for an artist’s voice in their background vocals. It’s so rich & beautiful. Makes you appreciate the song & artist that much more. ❤ 🎶
So pretty🥰 Watching this video at 3:20 AM put a smile on my face that was much needed. Let me try to get some rest. Continue blessings to you, beautiful Alicia Keys🙏🏽🥰💐
Brilliant all day every day PRICELESS.. Thank you,l was always listening to you and thinking how could background singers be as precise as you are. Yet, they are awesome as well Thanks for sharing.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have very little music background, but I know great music when I hear it 😊
Poor thing. I can't help but think what all these musicians had to do to gain their place in the spotlight aside from having talent. Talent ain't enough!
That's why im about to stop arguing with people because he never knew she song background. 1st why its so important. Fuk it. I was there when she recorded it and its not really her singing at all. Its really a woman from Alabama that recorded 😂
The person who wrote the caption is wrong. The ADDITIONAL background voices she added were not hers. When she said "that's all me" she was specifying the beginning is all her. She quite literally says she then added ADDITIONAL voices. Those voices are clearly not hers. They are strong altos. She's an excellent soprano.
@@djmanntvI’m guessing you were you raised in a bunker and never allowed access to news or media? Every.Single.Person.Knows.The.Background.Vocals.Were.Alicia!
@@djmanntvat the end of this clip when she says “here come the backgrounds” it sounds to me like she’s basically saying here comes the background singers. Especially since She then follows that up by saying “I’ll never forget the day THEY sang this”. So seems like that part of the background vocals was not her and was a group of background singers. All the parts leading up to that were deff her, you can hear it. So don’t let these ppl try to shame you when seems an awful lot like they wrong anyway. Lol. 😉
![일상 속 기분 좋음 [Proto disco meme]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DwmEIaZ7XGQ/mqdefault.jpg)
It never sounded like anyone one else, that's what made the song so dynamic
Exactly t.hell 😂
Right! I was so confused watching this 😂
I was like who is this new to?😂
💯
I never thought it was her please.
I love when artists speak about their art. They come alive....
I have been telling my husband this for years. He is a producer and does all his background vocals too, and I love it ❤😌.
Same!!
Yesss!!! 🥰🤩
Alicia is so TALENTED! ❤❤❤🎤🎹🎶🎵🎧
Yesssssss
This arrangement and harmonizing is sick!
But her hairline, or lack of is even sicker.
This song never gets old after so many years!
Definitely one of my all time favs ❤
I LOVE acapella versions of songs like this. It's like listening to a whole new song.
Yes
Never seen singers so passionate like Alicia keys,Lauryn hill and erykah badu. they love what they do. These singers always be favs in my book.😍💯
AGREE!!!!!!!!!
Her performing it on TinyDesk is great!
It's not acapella. It is the vocal tracks isolated and the faders (on the audio mixer) for all the instrumental tracks are turned down.
The background sounds heavenly
Dat Part exactly 👏👏👏
I agree.
Lies😂😂😂😂😂

I love her explanation it paints a lyrical musical picture ❤
Very impressive. All around tech skills in the studio. Amazing. I knew it sounded like her. One of my FAV Alicia Keyes songs.
Couldn’t have said it any better .. such an incredible talent
Yes, it certainly does paint a picture when she breaks it down like that! ❤
Makes you want to listen to the song again and really hear it the way she is explaining it here. Beautiful.

How many times In your life have you said composition in your life I can't take it the comments section is hilarious
Sounds so good without the instruments playing in the background 🔥
Best AK song in my opinion. Very creative.
She reminds me so much of Marvin Gaye when he was producing What's Going On in the Studio. She's such a talent.
Pure artistic brilliance and ownership. This is how real artist sound. This is how a REAL Artist writes, conducts, arranges and vocally creates their own art. You go Alicia!!! 💜💜💜💜💜
That's dope! She is such a skilled, gifted and intelligent musician.
That's what I thought she was saying.. Thank you

She's so beautiful
Her Talent is unmatched!!!
Janet Jackson did that ages before Alicia
You must be young.

An explosion of soul. Incredible singing and arrangement.
Beautiful harmony and arrangement like a symphony.❤
That song was soul shaking
Legendary ❤️ Then and Now
This song is so atmospheric
That song actually got on my nerves back then because it was played SO much even though I thought it's a beautiful song...This makes me appreciate it again....
Facts I was 12 when it came out . Song got on my nerves 😂
I hate when a genius song gets played out.
I was gonna say the same thing..lol That along with Brandy's "I Wanna Be Down". I still til this day, DO NOT like that song.
I agree! Loved it initially and then it was like “No! This again.” But it’s a beautiful song. I hadn’t heard it in ages.
They played df out it
It's very rare to hear such harmony on songs these days unless you listen to gospel beautiful sends shivers down my spine beautiful 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow. I love the background singing more than the song. You lose a lot of that with the instruments playing. That is superb.
Not if you got ears like me and Alicia 🙂
Same!
It's like that with a lot of these isolated background vocal videos. Mariah's especially. The beauty is just so fabulous when isolated. Once you hear it then when you hear the full song you can kind of hear it but of course it's not as isolated so it's not as clear.
