Neither MassEducation nor Melodrama were very impressive in that department. He’s shown multiple times live that he could basically do whatever he wanted with the piano. But I’ll have to admit that the songs on Melodrama don’t really have any complex chord progression. However, the title track on NFR or even hope are amazing to me. It’s all about the little complexity and the details, the pace, the velocity. I doubt a hip hop producer can do better than Jack with the piano, but that’s not a shade at all 5 Quote I'll do it for the right reasons Withstanding all the time, changes and seasons ~?~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluefiona 8,050 Posted May 20, 2021 The stuff Jack does with Taylor and other artists is so drastically different then the boring stuff he's done with Lana, especially cocc. But at least we got VB. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, putting personal preferences aside, I think we should all agree that Jack has more than one chord to his bow and that he’s a really talented musician and producer. It’s just trendy to hate him on LB 4 Quote I'll do it for the right reasons Withstanding all the time, changes and seasons ~?~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only with lana he was a sole producer 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But at least in my personal opinion, I really don't think his piano-work has a lot of detail or complexity. It's solid, yet extremely straightforward. But yeah, we'll see how the Mike Dean collab will turn out 4 Quote Just do it. Just do it - don't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White Dress is my fave piano-driven melody from him. Jack adds nice twists and turns on different parts of songs, especially on Norman, more so than Rick. I love all the work Jack and Lana did together, but I’m glad her discography will have the inputs of other producers though, and not repeating herself with each album. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the tracks didn’t necessarily leak but they did leak the premier date and song titles. I'm sorry for the offtopic, but I'm scrolling through this thread, listening to The Blackest Day Demo, and seeing your gif from Blue Jeans during the 'because im going deeper and deeper' part got me literal chills all over the body 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Araby 676 Posted May 20, 2021 4 minutes ago, Terrence Loves Me said: she was addicted to weed? She has a history of drug abuse and you're saying you want her on "dope"— weed is a legal drug in her home state so I don't know why you'd refer to it by that name. I thought you wanted her back on harder shit, as "dope" implies. Either way, implying an artist needs substances (that theyve expressed have been unhealthy for them) to make good music is....weird, love 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
