What Makes It Groove For You?

I love rhythm and it is easy to dance.

Anyone who has ever watched the American Bandstand or Soul Train is probably familiar with those words. They are used so often that they are elevated in the form of cliche.

But have you ever wondered why you actually like a song or a piece of music? What about some of the songs that touch us so quickly while some of the music never fails to shake us down.

Every major recording label release has high hopes of becoming a hit song. However, not all exits achieve that level. And it is even more confusing when you consider that the company uses significant advertising and promotional values ​​to help ensure successful marketing.

If one were to go back and review those releases that did not meet the expectations or were probably not married at all, one would probably find many songs "with good rhythm and easy to dance to".

There are many things that can make songs a great success, but in the end the listener should be motivated by them enough to go out and buy them. Advertising and promotion will take over the song so far.

Do you consider a song you will never forget to be important to you? A song you can also sing with, which does not require a collection of vocal exercises? Or is it identification with the artist? How much do you like the way they look or feel? Does the song need to have a heavy title, or do you prefer it to be simpler and less sensitive.

I understand that everyone has a different taste. Some people like Hip-hop and others like Indi-Rock or Country Pop, etc. But even within genres there will be similar songs, and one “does” while the other fails to entertain.

Some people believe that science can be applied to this situation. Complex algorithms are used to determine sonic attributes and timing that should result in music assurance that you will succeed. And while we know that the great progress of the chord often evokes feelings of happiness in people, while the progress of the small chord often evokes sad feelings, I do not know that anyone has ever discovered the human factor involved to determine if something will make a connection. for listeners needed to generate momentum to buy music.
