What is good TriStans and TrisFam?
Yo, what's good everybody?
Yo, yo, what's good TriStans and TrisFam? If what... What? I mean, what video am I doing?
I don't even know... I don't know what video I am doing.
Ahhh, my life. I did not even know this y'all. I have been on a break. I have been on vacation.
I have not been paying attention to anything that's been going on lately.
I just needed to take some time to chill, to reset my brain. To reset my values. Right? My values.
Anyway, I didn't know that this video came out. I didn't know that Ariana Grande put out a new song.
I didn't know that Ariana Grande put out a new music video, and I have not watched it yet.
I think is actually really funny some vocal coaches have actually... it's really funny.
They have criticized me because they're like "He's not actually reacting to the video...
He's actually watched it several times and is giving notes based off of having reviewed the video several times before"
No, b**ch. I know you're trying to talk shit. Okay, but it ain't working. Cause I actually have not watched this video.
So all of my amazing insights are actually coming off the cuff. I'm sorry to disappoint you. But anyway, (laughs)
I don't know what to expect here. I see that the video is actually, uh... has relatively... has some dislikes on it,
so I'm expecting something kind of weird. Something a little bit edgy, maybe. Or maybe...
It's not a good song.
But I don't know yet because I haven't watched it. Let's just jump into it.
Okay, it's already immediately very different from anything that I've seen her do, at least as of late.
She's like a queen of switching things up. She oh, she's keeping it fresh constantly.
Already this is very new. This is almost like a...
And by the way, please do not leave a comment "You're a vocal coach, why are you reacting to the music video?"
Because if I don't react to the music video, half of the comments are gonna be like
"How did you ignore the music video?" Just please. Let me react the video.
Even though she's singing kind of breathy, there's still power behind it. Like she's, like almost projecting her.. her breath, but still.
Mmmk, actually this song is very in line with a lot of the stuff that she's been putting out recently.
It reminds me a lot of songs like "thank u, next" and a bunch of other stuff that she's been putting out that kind of
has like an "anti-chorus"
And that it builds up... it builds up, and then it gets to the chorus, and it just kind of changes...
To- tone... So a lot of her recent songs have been doing that lately, and I'm curious what she's gonna do with the bridge.
So even though she is kind of singing... well, I wouldn't... she's kind of like, sing-talking.
She usually does come from sort of like, a light, breathy kind of spot, but she's not necessarily light here. She's almost like
projecting her breath, or projecting the air. Like she's breathy, but with like a lot of energy and an intensity behind it.
So it doesn't just like... Cause this isn't a love song, right?
This isn't something to be sweet about. This is like a... there's some umpf behind this.
And part of what makes that effect by the way, is like... I'm gonna sound so ridiculous doing this...
Saying these words... and when she's saying "I want it, I've got it" or something like that, right?
I want it
I want it, I get it
Like she's... part of what makes it sound intense as well, is that she is attacking the consonants
"I want it. I get it." So the G's are really really "guh." "I get it."
And so that's kind of what gives it some intensity, and you combine that with the breathiness and it kind of sounds like
it's a breathy intense thing going on. Because generally when you're using breathiness,
it's not... you don't really pop off your consonants like that.
"I want it, I get it." Like it's, kind of weird.
But she's combining them in a way that makes sense because the song is aggressive.
But at the same time... same time, kinda sexy and sultry so the breathiness kind of makes sense.
But she's definitely making use of her consonants here.
And it goes with the track as well because the track is very very punchy and rhythmic. The song itself...
She's almost rapping in this, actually.
And she's singing a little.
"They stack up like your a**?" She's changing a lot.
This is hip-hop. This is basically hip-hop.
So the music video itself is kind of interesting. It's kind of like a futuristic... I don't even know what the hell is going on.
Obviously everyone in the video is female. I'm sure there's some sort of like, a hidden meaning here that I'm not getting.
But uh... Anyway, I actually... I enjoyed this video. Not my favorite song by her. I liked "Imagine." I liked "Imagine" a lot so...
Not my favorite, but it is still really cool. And I love seeing her continue to put out new content, and it's really amazing.
Just generally what she's able to do with her voice and what she's able to accomplish in such short periods of time.
It's like... especially with everything. She's going through like I'm... yeah, it's awesome
But anyway.
Hopefully you like this video as much as I did. Make sure you like this video if you liked it.
Subscribe if you're new. And until next time TriStan's and TrisFam. Peace.
