Bronte 69 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 you all know bad romance has key changes right??? PI's key change is just REALLY obvious Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economy 49,535 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I thought of the same thing I wish the key change was more drastic and smooth tho. She sounds like she struggles with those higher notes but high notes were never ger strongest point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Key change is literally the pitch picture playing a song in a section of the piano, then you go to the next sequence. Same notes (do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do) but higher or lower pitched Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague 424 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 That key change isn't even likable imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 38,184 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I hope not. It's one of the things that bothered me from Perfect Illusion. Still like the song though, but the key change hurts my ear a little bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannesrats 26 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Something to be noted about this key change is it fits well with the climax of the song. Other songs just have a key change to have a key change, while this one is well placed, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A key change is the whole song shifting up or down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy already tried to explain it, I'm not sure if I'm able to But it's like when the chord progression stays the same, but it's higher (or lower), not neccessarily louder. The chords are in the same order, but they start from higher or lower. Example: C-D-E -> E-F-G Listen to Adele's All I Ask if you want an actual example.
