@@secondhandreactions These guys deserve all the knowledge in the world, and they have a lot to offer them, I still have other recommendations for the future.
They have some really nice songs. "Work Shit Out", "Rock You" and "Breakdown" are great. They also did some songs together with Cory Wong and both "Follow The Lights" and "Thriller" (a cover of the Michael Jackson song) are so, so good.
I'm also looking forward to seeing all those reactions or the alternative project they have called "Song For Lovers" like their song "Coffee Break is Over"
Oh yeah, those guys rock!!! Three friends from Sweden, longtime friends from school as well as having studied at one of Sweden’s most highly rated music Conservatoriums. Jonah Nilsson (vocals, keyboards) comes from a classical choir background and has been singing in his parents’s choir from virtually age 1. He also studied piano, classical at first, then going into jazz, and diving into his, as well as Dirty Loops’ catalog, you’ll find many amazing displays of his keys chops. He started singing as a lead vocalist in bands only later on in life, when he was asked to fill in for another lead singer who had to cancel for some reason. His vocal skills are to die for. Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson are some of his vocal influences, for sure. ALL of the vocals you hear in this song, are laid down by Jonah, despite appearances. All the choirs and everything ;) (This video was produced after recording the tracks, and they just thought they mess with us for a bit 😅) The two other guys, Henrik Linder (bass) and Aron Mellergardh (drums) (hell, I never know whether I’m spelling his name right or not ;) are equally top level musicians. You’ve picked the bass and his fills, but also his musicality. Henrik is one of the finest young bass players out there at the moment. And Aron on drums?? Cmon, his chops are unbelievably good. Yeah, they’re locked in, those two, having often stayed on at the con after hours, just practising pocket and grooves together. This song has a funky groove to die for, I find. And the way it opens up into total happiness at the end, it’s just so good. You’ll find many interviews with especially Henrik online, where he explains the thoughts and workings behind this song and many of their other ones. The poppy sound of Jonah’s voice in the beginning belies all the other nuances he can produce with his voice. They often choose a very simplistic, poppy hook to arrange all the other mindblowing things around. Someone once said that Dirty Loops often come wrapped in a shiny pop packaging, but inside it are multiverses of genre-crossing musical worlds. No wonder you were confused! 🤣 Listen to it again, alone, with headphones on, and you might hear more amazing stuff. “Work Shit Out” is absolute fire too, and features Jonah’s skill as a pianist, as well as a ridiculous drum solo by Aron 🔥🔥🔥 Looking forward to it! 🙏👍
Great comment, as usual! And Aron did spell his name Mellergårdh from the start, but for some reason he dropped the 'h' at the end some years ago, and now his proper/legal surname is Mellergård. And,yeah, I know, we have those pesky extra vowels - å, ä, and ö - that doesn't exist on most keyboards around the world 😅
@@lottawiklund8606 you mean thåt? 🤣 They’re fun, those things (and not as bad as German umlauts). But it’s interesting, the evolution of Aron’s name. I guess it’s just too tricky for the rest of us Swedish-illiterates ;) Thanks for explaining, Lotta 🙏☺️
@@fiddlestix3025Yeah, my guess is he got fed up with having more than one thing in his name that he constantly had to correct and point out to non-Swedes, and there's not much you can do about the 'å', unless you want to change the meaning of the name (into something that doesn't even have a meaning). 😅 And to be fair, the 'h' had no real function there anyways, with today's spelling, and might even have been something put in there by relatives in the past to make the name seem slightly more fancy. 🙂
This is what you get when everyone in the band is the best!! I have been in the music industry for the last 60 years. Session work, touring and producing. These are definitely some of the best and next level musicians I have come across!
Forgot to mention: check out the credits at the end of their songs, they’re often interesting as well as funny 😉 Quincy Jones who manages Dirty Loops (without producing any of their stuff, -they’re entirely self-produced) says of Jonah’s vocals: “….he’s got soul, and one of the biggest vocal ranges I’ve ever heard.”
I LOVE first reactions to Dirty Loops - they're never what people expect. You've got many others you'll want to check out, "Rock You", "Work Shit Out", and check out their collaboration with Cory Wong on an amazing take on Michael Jackson's "Thriller", as well as "Follow the Light" (you won't believe when you watch it that not only were Dirty Loops and Cory Wong not on the same stage at the same time, they weren't on the same continent!)
They were working as session musicians and got together for relief - "to play the music that would get them fired from their jobs." So yeah, it comes from a place of love for the music and joy. They are consummate conservatory musicians despite their loose, multi-genre sound. When they decide to write a song they go into the meeting without instruments, just paper and pencils, to decide what they want to do. They structure it first, and they leave room for improv.
You should realy check out bott order and newer songs with Dirty Loops. I would recommend "Follow the light" and "Thriller" (cover of MJ) from the later videos. Both are a colabiration with Cory Wong. Order things you should watch is "Baby baby (cover of Justin Bieber)" or any other cover that might intrest you. They make every cover there own. PS: Sorry if I spelled bad in this comment, but I'm Swedish and a dyslectic! 😢
I agree, Manne, both their older and newer songs are absolutely mindblowing 👍 Their 2014 covers or J Bieber, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and others broke the internet 💥😉
They're all good but Work Shit Out is a better intro to a new listener. Even though they clown around in the videos, Jonah does all of the vocals. Keep in mind, there is no guitarist. A little bit of what Henik does on bass makes up for what a guitar part might do. Same with the business of the others.
Good reaction! Very good description of how Dirty Loops is just too much to take in, but then you do get taken in by them! They have been known to say something like "less is more? Nooo, more is more". But they make it work, and they make space every now and then. You are perfectly correctly (as a friend of mine says, gives shivers) in that Henrik and Aron are totally locked in! Work shit out is very interesting, but you could also try something slightly more conventional, but also very uplifting, like Follow the light (collar with Cory Wong and the Horn Heads), or something slightly older and different, like World on fire or Hit me (their original "hit"). There are also old "loopified" covers you can check out, to see their beginnings, and more. Do read the credits, look for goofy stuff.
That groove is tight!! Undecided on the vocal style personally but those fellas can play of that there is no doubt!! It's kinda like the band 'Yes' and The Cast of Glee had a baby together!! I don't mean that in a derogatory way. How about another Swedish band 'Royal Republic'??
@@secondhandreactions I requested them a few weeks ago. Great bassline intro to the song 'Royal Republic - People Say That I'm Over The Top (Download Festival 2016)'
I love how confused you were by this song. It is something different to be sure. Looking forward to seeing your reaction to Work Shit Out and Thriller!
It's painful to see how she gets enthusiastic and he doesn't like it. But honestly, not connecting to dirty loops is like showing incompetence I'd say. It's like not approving the Godfather movie or Vincent van goghs Night in Arles, kind of. But I agree that this has a churchy gospel atmosphere that might set off someone who hasn't heard the Dirty Loops before. Maybe that's the reason for his resistance and I can kind of buy it.
I just didn’t know what to make of it at first. I had no idea what to expect. I’ve come to love this band as we’ve dug into more of their music. I truly appreciate the musicianship going on here. ✌️
@@secondhandreactions yeah, I realize while writing that you choose the song that is hardest to love if you don't know the band and what class of jokers they are. Shapeshifters! Had you chosen Wirk shit out you would gotten it in 5 seconds, they show a more true face in that song. I apologize!
@@mattias5157 all good - we got a couple more reaction to dirty loops. You can see me come around to them. We did ‘work shit put’ - ‘Thriller’ & ‘Bitten By The Kitten’ so far. More to come. ✌️
We definitely have a different ear for music but we respect one another's reactions fully. This song certainly didn't scare away either one of us, we both have developed a strong respect for their musicianship and continuous surprises. I'm fully on board with getting dirty!!!!
@@neighborsue I´m an asperger, sometimes /often/ i get a little / far too /unfiltered in my comments. As I said to your partner / husband? / I realized it wasn´t the easiest song to react to. They are often playing jokes on it´s audience. Like in the irlatest song, Run away, did you hear it? It´s a great tune, but it also seems to be a perfect parody. Fun guys! Musical shapeshifters like noone you have ever heard before I believe? Hey, whilest we are on, what about a reaction on Juan Gabriel at Bellas artes, Hasta que te conocí or Amor eterno? The first one is great fun when you get into it, "I didn´t know about suffering until I get to know you, which I regret...", the other is a wonderful love hymn to his late mother.
”It’s so happy” - what a good description! 😃 I totally agree! Their ”spelglädje” (joy of playing) and music have brought me lot of happy moments. Hope you’ll have that too! And of course - your reaction was also filled with joy! 😊
If you are as confused as many times as you said you were maybe this isn't for you. Try C&W it's simple enough that it shouldn' confuse you as much as this did. Too bad you don't appreciate superior musicianship. You obviously don' play.
Pretty sure I said they’re obviously great, next level, musicians and that I can appreciate that. We reacted to two more after this. The confusion came from the over the top running bass lines and super poppy vocals and how it mixed and landed with me. I think that’s fair on a first listen when I had no idea what to expect. So, not sure if you’re trying to troll or not, but we landed on liking them. I listen to these songs often now.
I stand by my original comment. No trolling here. I am a retired musician...Studied at Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, Md. I did 6 years in the Navy band. I'm 77 years old usually a fairly pleasant guy but when it comes to other people making an inane reaction to something that is truly spectacular it makes me speak out. But take heart. You were gracious enough to reply. That, I respect. Talk with other professional musicians. You were not the worst reaction I've heard. But if I were making a reaction to a new artist, I think I'd try to find out something about them...end of rant.@@secondhandreactions
