The way the SPACE is filled on Luther Vandross’ song ‘I’ve Been Working’ off his first album Never Too Much...
It’s the the balance between Marcus Miller’s steady bass line that hums through you & the mellow guitar’s funky disco-esque chord progression throughout, neither one overpowering the other.
It’s the almost conversational call and response between the bass and Luther’s lead vocals during the chorus while that instigating 80s synth subtly provokes the musical discussion to keep going.
It’s also funny cos you’d think background vocalists are meant to be “blending and becoming one,” but you can hear Cissy Houston, Whitney Houston’s mom, standing out LOUD and clear on every track she’s on hahaha. She said, “Yall gon HEAR my ass!” Lol!
How is your summer going? Embrace the moment and show your smile. I know we all have different opinions, the problem starts when we feel our opinion is worth more than what anyone else feels. My music taste are broad. You may say I am a fool on the hill playing all sorts of sounds and stories.
I have not done an infectious pop song full of energy in a while, sooo... let's do a fun summer swinging music video from Ohio-bred pop-rockers The Public. Time for a happy dance!
hoping to play a set somewhere soon or whatever ehehe.
hope you enjoy, it'll be out soon-ish.
