Kygo

The legend of tropic housing

Too much pop, like listening to an Avicii that learned to make real electronic music, actually did pretty damn well, but still retained a few bits of that pop.

Not that bad, but I have my doubts. Parson James really injects that pop sound it's kind of annoying, but Kygo's sounds are actually really good.

Kygo should just do a solo album with no guests.

what's wrong with pop music? Even some of what passes for music in the modern pop arena has some decent attributes! I a going to come clean here and admit that I was always terribly impressed both by Ricky Martin's "living la vida loca" and Britney Spear's "toxic". I mean this as pieces of songwriting, clever arrangements, wonderful production numbers with a mix that didn't hurt my ears and ABOVE ALL solid vocal performances (even if both artists reached for the auto-tune, it wasn't terribly overt). Is it my usual cup of tea? NO, but pop is not a 4 letter word anymore than metal is. And if you make metal a 4 letter word you get meal, and I love a good meal... obviously 4 letter works are cool anyway (punk, rock, fuck for example)... just sayin' I would rather listen to certain Whitney Huston recors than endure an hour of any music, say, Korn made after their first album!

  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

No problem with pop. I just think Kygo can do better without the vocals, It's just not working for me. To pop-ish, and not in a particularly good way.

I'm just talking to talk here, I don't even know who Kygo is. Last time I listened to trance, Goa was all the rage, which puts a serious date on me.

that's pretty recent by my standards, kiddo

when I was a kid you could still throw warehouse parties because there were no anti-rave laws
