I don’t have much to say about the lyrics here, but will point out that the lyric density in the Jay Sean verses is very sparse and in the chorus, the lyric density gets thicker. Lyrics: The lyrics aren’t very profound in this song but they’re workable. Melody: The melody builds gradually up the scale and then gets to a climax in the beginning of the chorus and then the hook is where the melody descends quickly (down…down…down…down…down). 3! And I’d be willing to bet money that there will be many other No. I guess this is a good topic to talk about because that song was No. Theme: Just like the other song I analyzed this week ( link), this song is about having a good time tonight with the only (slight variation) variation is that this one is more specific (i.e. Nothing particularly fancy or groundbreaking here – the only thing to note is that the change in the chord progression between verse and chorus is subtle so the song has to use other techniques to provide variety/contrast as we’ll see below. The chord progression in the verses are: IV-IVm-V-III and the choruses are: IV-I-V-VIm. This song is based off of two four-chord chord progressions. Doesn’t matter, call it whatever you want – its just there to provide a departure from the status quo and the provide variety/contrast with the rest of the song. I think some people might call the third verse a bridge, but I’m not sure if its something you would normally call a bridge so that’s why I called it a third verse. This song utilizes a very typical song structure, with the only “change up” being the third verse “sung” by Lil Wayne instead of Jay Sean, and the melody in the third version being slightly different from the first two verses. Song Structure: Intro (12 bars)-Verse (Jay Sean)-Chorus-Verse (Nay Sean)-Chorus-Verse (Lil Wayne)-Chorus Producers: Birdman & Ronald “Slim” Williams
Songwriters: Carter, Dwayne Cotter, J Larow, R Perkins, J Sean, J Skaller, J 3 (Week of October 3rd, 2009), as of today No. Its not one of those songs that you have to hear a few times to get into and even then, you’re not quite sure whether you like it or hate it.Ĭhart Position: No. IMO, this song is HOT and it immediately caught my ear when I heard it.
His music was certainly a little different back then (but still great) but still R&B/Pop. Lo and behold, Jay Sean is now Stateside and burning up the charts with his first US single “Down”. People probably don’t know this but he already had quite a following in the UK and was a multi-platinum artist in India back then. Anyhow, I forgot about him after enjoying his CD for a few months because in the US he had zero exposure. I enjoyed his music so much I bought his CD (probably one of the last CDs I ever purchased!). His songs were playing in almost every restaurant I went to in Central London and they immediately caught my ear. Lil Wayne jumped on the instrumental, as did K Camp and several other rhymers.I “discovered” Jay Sean back in 2004 when I was in London for a business trip. A Hot 100 hit helped put "Magnolia" on a lot of rappers' radars. The beat along with Carti's popularity helped the track grow further than the artist himself may have anticipated. The song's production was unlike anything else out there at the time thanks to the work of Pi'erre Bourne. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, introduced the world to the Atlanta rapper. Playboi Carti's 2017 breakthrough hit, " Magnolia," which peaked at No. XXL highlights some of the songs that have been remixed the most often in the lat 10 years. Over the last decade, hip-hop remixes are even more popular. Due to the speed of the internet, the part of it that has changed is that it's much easier to find out about a song that's picking up across the country, even easier to get into the studio and rework it and then release it on a DSP of choice. Songs getting remixed is a common practice in hip-hop for decades now. In other cases, artists love a buzzing single so much that they want to reinterpret it in their own style. Fellow rappers give props to the creator of the track, use the song as a soundtrack to their posts on social media or drop footage of themselves enjoying the track. When a rap song is taking off regionally or worldwide, other artists take notice.
