Thank you so much. The Music Mixer of this song and the all songs in the EP Old Enough is Serge Courtouis. A Grammy award-winner Sound Engineer. As well as he graduated from Berklee College of Music with second major in 'Drum Set Performance'. The Background Vocalist is Academy Award-nominated Taura Stinson. She also is the co-writer of 'Good in Goodbyes' collabarately with Angelina.
Definitely the mixolydian blues scale. Note that it's not only the IV chord, but also IVm7! at times. The whole step below the tonic is also very distinctive.
When it comes to either hate or praise, you need to hold it against your own frame of reference. We tend to overvalue the criticism sometimes forgetting the silent majority. 'Take me or leave, cuz I am me, unapologetically' is in apt quote from this song it seems! I really love the upbeat positive vibe and message of this song. It made me smile instantly, a lot of good good energy ❤
She can ride every music vehicle with her old soul, an Oldtimer or the newest type. But how 😮 at her young age with low life experience, unbelievable 💓we know she studied music over 10y now every day 👍 Love your music analysis 🎉
Awhile back, I watched a video with Alma Deutscher answering the question, "Is there such a thing as a new, unique melody?". Alma said any new melody will always have elements of previous melodies.
I get something out of all of your videos (mostly of Angelina), whether it be reflective philosophy, music structure, or working on your car. Sometimes you are a bit down on yourself or appear to be carrying a heavy weight on your shoulders. In this video you looked to be very much in your element, analyzing music, and having a blast doing it. Perhaps the happiest that I have seen you! I thoroughly enjoyed this one!
Ellis, normally it has been only her, but in this one Taura Stintson helped with back vocals. Taura Stintson and Jon Levine, with Angelina put this one together.
Definitely mostly the Jordanettes, though. I hear a lot of Angelina and a little of something else (Taura), but am out traveling and my good speakers/headphones are on another continent. 😊 No doubt «You don’t wanna miss it» and «a little bit louder, louder» and «higher, higher» is Angelina, while «It’s our time»/«down in the soul» sounds layered with several voices and some «do-woops» do NOT sound like her. So about 80 % Angelina in the background, I’d estimate.
Great reaction explanation. Reminds me of organ & playing the bass with your feet. She is getting a lot of technical support from writers & background musicians & singers. Look at who helped & it is a commercial.
Ellis, I must say I learn something new every time I catch your reactions. Sounds like you been getting some negative feedback at times, don't let it get to you. You do a bang up job. Keep it up
Always enjoy your reactions, The sound quality on the music playback was kinda fluctuating all over the place. Not sure if it was just part of the editing, or if you had to clip stuff to avoid copyright. Just a little harder to follow along and enjoy the song. Good thing I've already heard it several hundred times haha! Catch you next time.
That was fun, Ellis! Agree about the modern synth base. Backing voices are about 80 % Jordanettes, but co-writer Taura Stinson is also in the mix. And the 12 bar blues scheme, with all its variations, will never die. 😊 Love this!
She does have a background vocalist for this one, Taura Stinson. I believe she co-wrote also. Not sure which is her voice though! lol Clearly a lot of them are Angelina.
Great reaction, Ellis. To me, the structure sounds like a semi-classic Cadelodian twist. Anyhoot, I think Angelina also sounds great in the song. THIS time around she had another lady called Taura sing the backing vocals though. On the EP I think it was all Angelina. Have a great weekend! Love from Norway ♥♥♥
Speaking of BQ i enjoy it more when the soda is served in a pint mason jar and there is a roll of paper towel on the table. For me BQ is big family food and this makes it feel real. Oh yeah, your detailed reaction was great, but now i am ready for some BQ.
Barbecues not withstanding...this is a great mainstream song. Your opinions have validity and even if they didn't...you have a right to that opinion. I've been around a lot of years and things have definitely changed regarding the right to debate, and the right to respectful opinions..enough said.../Back to the point she is not only bringing back the retro motown style....she is making it fresh and new. She has modernised it for a whole new generation....Like hand in glove.... just fits so well..Thanks for your musical expertise....and barbecue metaphor. Much appreciated
To everyone who doesn't know Angelina yet, listen to Angelina's masterpiece in the original, this mutilated version is a horror, for whatever reason. Angelina's fans (Angelina calls them "my angels") already know Ellis' work and have heard this song (a commissioned work by the billion-dollar listed company SoFi. SoFi is using the song for a nationwide advertising campaign on TV and radio) hundreds of times. I hope Elli's reaction video makes you curious and doesn't scare you away. 👣💯 *AJ* 💯👣
It's 'mutilated' because you can't react to it straight without a copyright strike. I mean, isn't that obvious? Angelina couldn't play her own songs on live stream without it getting cancelled. Happened 3 times to her a week or two ago. That's showbiz baby!
Thank you for your detailed, self indulgent reaction. None of us like negativity but it’s part of life. Just remember that Angelina just wants us to feel the love and kindness she shares with us through the beautiful warm embrace of her music. Keep up the great reactions.
Entendi perfeitamente seu pensamento do começo da reação e vou passar prá você um pensamento que não è meu aos 20 você quer ageadar para que você possa se integrar, aos 40 você já não está mais preocupado em agradar ninguém, aos 60 você percebe quê as pessoas se quer perceberam sua existência
Tu análisis me pareció algo extraño hoy🙄, siempre veo tus reacciones a Angelina, las disfruto, pero siento que casi no la escuchaste y te enfocaste más en la estructura musical🤷♀️🤔😊
I offer no hate, and I offer no praise. I only sit here, holding my cat in my lap. Love listening in as it reminds me of a couple of college jazz progression guys would say while jamming til 3amish every night. Good times.
Had to stop at 4 min. Just couldn't take the chopping up and ruination of such a great song. I have a positive suggestion Ellis. Maybe play the song thru once in its entirety, THEN take as long as you wish to go back and cut, analyze, comment, etc. I think your listeners would mostly agree.
As a former mental health professional I think you need help. I have tried to follow your reviews but they are so chopped up and disjointed that I have given up.
As always, Angelina was great, but with that style of music she uses like 40% of her voice. She is free to sing whatever she wants, but it is like buyng a 90$ bottle of wine to drink it while eating hot dogs. The "industry" love money, not art.
@@lindathompson3982 Yeah, an ad that will help put her on the map. You'll hear her at the Rams games, and the World Cup is being held at SoFi stadium. " Her Time"!
Your overlay that distorts and drops the volume periodically for copyright totally sux for your focuss on the instrumental analyses. You stuffed with the recording so much that we can't actually follow your dozens of pauses dude!. Anything about her vocals or overall composition/performance?. What was it about?. Do you know?. Surely you can find ANY other way to get around copyright apart from butchering the actual audio?!. Disappointed in this one mate. Very self indulgent as if you had no audience. C'mon now!.
If you hadn't realized, when Ellis geeks out on the theory, he likes the song. He is reacting in his way. It obviously got his creative juices flowing. And the fact that what seems like a feel-good bop has so many layers is a testimony to the song writers. I appreciate Ellis' dissection because I would not have recognized the complexity of this song otherwise.
Am I wrong or you seem to be paying much more attention to the musical instruments which is only suppose to play a supportive roll to Angelina than Angelina's singing which is suppose to be the main event. Am I wrong in that ?
I can appreciate that. I am just saying after watching this particular reaction I can draw no conclusion about his feeling about Angelina's performance but I can clearly see he appreciates the instrumentals... this is on a Angelina Jordan reaction video
As I said I appreciate what he did, but just as when I go out wanting to have a good piece of steak I want to taste a great piece of steak and not how wonderful the vegetables are...that's just me
90% of your explanation is useless. The song is two minutes long, and you have been explaining and analyzing it for 95 years, and in the end we conclude that you are wrong.
LOL. Can't work out if this is the most interesting reaction on the Net, or the most irritating! I'll go with most irritating because you seem to be unaware that the track keeps going out of phase. I don't think you are hearing it, which is interesting... Damn..
No In my opinion as to what this was we witnessed here, go back & listen to his first few minutes & then you'll get what he's done and why. Passive-agressive is as Passive- Agressive does. It's funny••but I am reminded of something my (late) Mother always pointed out to us kids when we were in 'snit' mode: "You can get happy in the same pants you got mad in!" Really miss her! 🥲
You are wrong. We do tune in to listen Ellis break down the song in a technical way. It's called analysis and music appreciation. He teaches me things I don't know otherwise. Before he broke down this song, it was just a great feel-good bop, and it was great work by AJ and the team. But now, I appreciate how really complex the song is. Thanks Ellis!
Thank you so much.

Angelina's voice is joy to my ears. 🖖❤
Such a great happy vibe song ❤️👍 Groooovvvyyyyy👍

Hi Ellis! Really enjoyed your reaction, I like when people engage with the music like you do. Happy day!
Good to see you Ellis! it's 6am and I'm having my coffee, starting my day off with you! Always love when you pick up your guitar!
I love your genuine reactions and your willingness to share your inner thoughts.
She can ride every music vehicle with her old soul, an Oldtimer or the newest type. But how 😮 at her young age with low life experience, unbelievable 💓we know she studied music over 10y now every day 👍

Thanks for the reaction to our angel Angelina..she’s simply the best..👍👏

Correct, but I believe the backing vocals are Taura as well as Angelina.
@@PITA-kd2jn That's what l meant, by saying " Taura helped ( not in place of, but with Angelina) in back vocals." Thanks, thou. Sorry l wasn't clear.

@@Bustefaen Love the Jordanettes
I just love this song, I can imagine doing a fabulous swing/rockabilly dance routine to it!
I’m not a musician but I enjoy listening to you break down what’s going on. Sounds like you had a good time doing this one.
Great reaction explanation. Reminds me of organ & playing the bass with your feet. She is getting a lot of technical support from writers & background musicians & singers. Look at who helped & it is a commercial.

Yep agree with this!
Always enjoy your reactions, The sound quality on the music playback was kinda fluctuating all over the place.

Good thing I've already heard it several hundred times haha! Catch you next time.
Phasing between DI feed to video to PC speakers (monitors).
It's obviously the copyright. Angelina herself can't play her music from the album without her steam getting killed.
That was fun, Ellis! Agree about the modern synth base. Backing voices are about 80 % Jordanettes, but co-writer Taura Stinson is also in the mix. And the 12 bar blues scheme, with all its variations, will never die. 😊 Love this!
Are the Jordanettes the female backing group with sis and mom? j/k.
Nicely done my friend!
She does have a background vocalist for this one, Taura Stinson. I believe she co-wrote also. Not sure which is her voice though! lol Clearly a lot of them are Angelina.
Angelina and Taura teamed up on the background vocals.
Great reaction, Ellis. To me, the structure sounds like a semi-classic Cadelodian twist. Anyhoot, I think Angelina also sounds great in the song. THIS time around she had another lady called Taura sing the backing vocals though. On the EP I think it was all Angelina. Have a great weekend! Love from Norway ♥♥♥
Taura does SOME backing vocals, but it is clearly mostly the Jordanettes (by which I mean MANY separate takes of Angelina).
I sure think it sounds that way as well. But I've heard otherwise for this one. Dunno 🤔@@Bustefaen
@@poolhallsharkI trust my ears. 😊
On the credits for the album, Taurus Stinson is listed as singing backup vocals on “Our Time”.
*Taura
Singing their socks off !!!

That breakdown was cool!
Not this time, there are background singers, true, she usually does everything, but not this time.
Angelina and Taura Stinson teamed up on the background vocals.
obvious technical sound issues. I don't think the previous comment relates to Ellis guitar demos
You are amazing. Thanks.
I wish I had the knowledge to fully appreciate your comments, but I love them anyway, somewhat jealous, actually a lot!
Great reaction !
I love your reactions! I only hope you have taken the time to just get up and dance..." Let the music do its healing ".
Entendi perfeitamente seu pensamento do começo da reação e vou passar prá você um pensamento que não è meu aos 20 você quer ageadar para que você possa se integrar, aos 40 você já não está mais preocupado em agradar ninguém, aos 60 você percebe quê as pessoas se quer perceberam sua existência

Bless you❤️❤️❤️
Plain old appreciate you... enough said...
Tu análisis me pareció algo extraño hoy🙄, siempre veo tus reacciones a Angelina, las disfruto, pero siento que casi no la escuchaste y te enfocaste más en la estructura musical🤷♀️🤔😊
Yes
I offer no hate, and I offer no praise. I only sit here, holding my cat in my lap.
Love listening in as it reminds me of a couple of college jazz progression guys would say while jamming til 3amish every night. Good times.

Good grief, YES.
Yes too many stops plus the distortion of the song now and then to try to avoid copyright strike
There is a problem with the audio..like driving in the mountains listening to a car radio...in and out..
Yeah he does this to try avoid copyright strikes, it's funny others can play it normally without getting any strike, it seems to affect only some.
As a former mental health professional I think you need help. I have tried to follow your reviews but they are so chopped up and disjointed that I have given up.
Was the song actually played here? I was lost at 2:00
You are not wrong.
It's made for a commercial.
As always, Angelina was great, but with that style of music she uses like 40% of her voice. She is free to sing whatever she wants, but it is like buyng a 90$ bottle of wine to drink it while eating hot dogs. The "industry" love money, not art.
Variety is the spice of life .😊
Angelina is a serious singer who doesn't take herself seriously....$90 bottle of wine with a hotdog, that's fun! Sounds like Picasso fun!
What's wrong by eating a hotdog.?
This tune was written for a product/ ad campaign...
Plus, it's fun! 😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@lindathompson3982 Yeah, an ad that will help put her on the map. You'll hear her at the Rams games, and the World Cup is being held at SoFi stadium. " Her Time"!

Zeb, you are, to me, too right;
right on the money.
Go back to the first few minutes and you'll see better why he was in this mode...
Easy to see.
Agree this one was a mess, all the cuts and explaning of the music etc.
Huey Lewis vibe.
Am I wrong or you seem to be paying much more attention to the musical instruments which is only suppose to play a supportive roll to Angelina than Angelina's singing which is suppose to be the main event. Am I wrong in that ?
Remember Ellis is a classically trained musician, so naturally he would be drawn to the instrumentals. He is a big fan of Angelina.
I can appreciate that. I am just saying after watching this particular reaction I can draw no conclusion about his feeling about Angelina's performance but I can clearly see he appreciates the instrumentals... this is on a Angelina Jordan reaction video
I totally agree with you! This is a not a reaction to the song but to the music and how it’s played.
Because it is a song that is so far out from AJs other works, I love the reaction from a music appreciation point of view. Geeks gonna geek out.
As I said I appreciate what he did, but just as when I go out wanting to have a good piece of steak I want to taste a great piece of steak and not how wonderful the vegetables are...that's just me
😀😀😀😀😀
😊
90% of your explanation is useless. The song is two minutes long, and you have been explaining and analyzing it for 95 years, and in the end we conclude that you are wrong.

You don't want to know.
LOL. Can't work out if this is the most interesting reaction on the Net, or the most irritating! I'll go with most irritating because you seem to be unaware that the track keeps going out of phase. I don't think you are hearing it, which is interesting... Damn..
No thanks Ellis it's about you again
Is this supposed to be a joke?
No
In my opinion as to what this was we witnessed here, go back & listen to his first few minutes & then you'll get what he's done and why.

well, you managed to murder the song. pretty sure people didn't tune in to get a break down of the music. I thought it was a reaction to her?

Your sound , (Angelina) is no good
