THE #1 WAY TO BE A BETTER PRODUCER & SONGWRITER (Active Listening) | Make Pop Music
THE #1 WAY TO BE A BETTER PRODUCER & SONGWRITER (Active Listening) | Make Pop Music
In this video we will be going over how to actively listen and analyze songs in order to reverse engineer them for your own tracks. We will be looking at Dua Lipa's song Levitating and breaking down how to analyze the melodic structure, the arrangement and production choices, and how to listen for elements that are tucked deep in a record.
*Editors Note: When I talk about the chord progression I say Fm7 but it should actually be "F#m7". I play the right chord but my mouth was moving faster than my brain. So it sounds right, but just make a quick note that it's the "F#m7" not Fm7. Also, the key is Bmin (notated on the analysis sheet correctly)
