Cherry Blues 349 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Just now, Massive Monster said: EXACTLY ! Perfect use of the word lascivious which I would have never thought of. Yeah the structure of the song produces this jazzy lascivious and playful atmosphere which fits well with the disco sound 💓 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say Replay was swing, but to me (and others on this thread) it has a swing influence: If I had to compare to something more recent I'd say Electro Swing. It's all in that rich beat drop section which has a hauntingly low quality brassy synth in the forefront. Which is the most important part/hook of the song and it's introduced slowly in the "I don't know what to do..." It's like a repeated sample from an old record or something played through a gramophone. I'm not saying it is a old record sample but that I feel it's the sound they were going for. Also the vinyl rewinds/ stops are very Electro Swing when mixed with that instrumentation. A swung rhythm requires a swung 8th note, which is just a triplet 8th divided into a quarter and eighth note. I wasn't clear on that. It doesn't really have a swing feel imo, the rhythm is very straight forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilMonst3r 5,546 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Spoiler This was supposed to be posted 2 days ago I just never posted it and left the tab open.

I'm not saying Replay IS 30s/40s jazz music, but especially what's going on in the beat drop is very jazz dance with a pop spin on it. Tell me what instruments do you hear in the beat drop ? I totally see what you mean. I thought jazz too when hearing the beat drop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miky 9,520 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 To me, it's the chords that intrigue me a lot. They are quite unusual for a pop song, I think. Too many people here with moral superiority complex. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOT 3,195 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'm hearing Sophie Ellis-Bextor. That's about as technical as I get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killa 17,726 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I think i understand where youre coming from. But lets pause a second. Does it feel swingy. Its probably using a blues scale, just by listening i cant really be sure. But to feel swing it needed at least a bit more syncopation. Like a little pause and antecipation from 3rd beat of the drop would give that effect. But yeah, its nthing of the sort Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yxilon 5,248 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 That is actually very neat. I would call Replay an acid-jazz influenced electropop with a tinge of psychedelia-rock. Everything could be everything (it could mean anything) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
