What’s so cool about this for me and what adds so much texture to this version, is that the instrumental introducing musical ideas before the vocals creates a certain setup/payoff structure, kind of like jazz where the band members are responding to each other musically. I often find pop to be a little too structured and packaged feeling. Everything is boxed into its section of the song if that makes sense. This fixes that for me.

I believe 9 seconds exactly matches 4 bars which is the basic unit that this song is built around (even though the larger sections, eg chorus take longer). Thus 4 bars moved to the right still fit the general theme of the song, while introducing a lot more diversity, because we now have more different combinations of vocals with music. Really well done!

If you like this version, there's a very simple reason, and some already explained it here: Build-up. Most songs nowadays have only repeating melody and harmony, and this version makes it seem like the harmony is building and ramping up the song. There are a few genres that I see doing this consistently: - EDM - Gospel - Soundtracks And I love all of them, particularly artists like TheFatRat, who can pull out an amazing build-up while keeping it complex and beautiful, even on top of a simple chord progression. Aside from that, I love funky songs, so Dua Lipa stole my heart there, 'cause she does a lot of them. Also a fan of Haywyre, who mixes EDM, Jazz, Funk, and whatnot.

I think I know why this sounds more instrumental focused. In the original song, the changes in the beat happen at the same time Dua sings a new section (verse/bridge/chorus etc.), so they go under the radar because you’re used to the beat changing when the section of the song changes. But because the transition from verse -> bridge or bridge -> chorus or chorus -> verse is delayed, it doesn’t coincide with the change in beat, and so you notice the beat changes much more, especially because so few pop songs switch up the instrumental outside of a transition

THAT’S what I’ve been trying to say, thank you. I don’t know music but that’s what I’ve been thinking. The chorus dropping on the second part of the instrumental instead of the first as it did originally not only serves to make the chorus easier to actually understand, but also makes the instrumental feel all the more powerful
@AdamKlownzinger3 ай бұрын
@AdamKlownzinger I came back to this because I'm having a rough day and it's just so good AHH. The second chorus especially, because it seriously amps up on the repeat creating more of an unexpected burst of energy. The fact the whole song pauses for the final prechorus line also just really hits and anticipates the final event. It has this charge and release feel, it separates her from the instruments so they compliment each other
@lilpetz5003 ай бұрын
I actually do really like the energy of the original, where everything matches up, but I also find it overwhelming. I can't listen to it too many times because trying to parse out her vocals from the background music (I have Auditory Processing Disorder) gives me an overstimulation-headache. This is far easier to listen to, especially repeatedly.

I think that the reason it sounds so good is that the structure of the instrumental doesn't mimic the structure of the vocals as it does in the original song. In the delayed version, the instrumental changes mid-verse and the „chorus” consists of two different parts instead of one part repeating itself twice. It's just more complex.

A lot was changed but big factors: The repeating of the chorus isnt as boring anymore! Every pop song really needs to work on making the repetitions in a song enjoyable and unique rather than catchy. Because of these factors, and thanks to the beat: it feels like the song is actually a story. Theres a start. A middle. And an end. So many songs feel like there's a good start, then the song. Maybe a little bit of an end. But it doesnt feel like the song is building up, EXPLOSION, then conclusion. That's how an average pop song should feel in my opinion. AN ENDING THAT FEELS LIKE AN ENDING. With the instrumentals gone, it gives the effort she put in her vocals more spotlight. She sung it in a way that felt like it was the end. And the lack of music helped pronounce that. Too many songs, just end. I want proper endings.

Well of course, they aren’t synced up. So they’ll stand out.

Of course we're noticing the instrumentals and vocals. We know how the song is supposed to sound. We'd be having the same conversation if this was the original and someone backed up the vocals by 4 bars.
Also makes the buildup to the bridge 'glitter in my eye' section have a different instrument palette, improving the pacing of the song

I think the biggest shame of the real mix is that the production is hiding some raw parts in Dua Lipa’s singing. It’s a part of her voice you don’t hear much (how she sings “I gotchuuu” and “I need youuu”) and I think it’s just a shame. She sounds fantastic and it’s likely fans will only hear if she’s live.

What’s so cool about this for me and what adds so much texture to this version, is that the instrumental introducing musical ideas before the vocals creates a certain setup/payoff structure, kind of like jazz where the band members are responding to each other musically. I often find pop to be a little too structured and packaged feeling. Everything is boxed into its section of the song if that makes sense. This fixes that for me.

Being able to make out individual instruments in a pop song's chorus feels kinda illegal Seriously tho, this is an excellent demonstration of how accompaniment can change the character of lyrics and is really a much more crucial player than most modern pop songs will let it be
1:20 This almost sounds like a fugue between the melody of her vocals over the instrumentals bringing back the chorus. It’s amazing!

That's what I thought
It’s an entirely different vibe and I dig it!
Agreed
This actually makes the musicality of the song so much more noticeable than the original verson
I believe 9 seconds exactly matches 4 bars which is the basic unit that this song is built around (even though the larger sections, eg chorus take longer). Thus 4 bars moved to the right still fit the general theme of the song, while introducing a lot more diversity, because we now have more different combinations of vocals with music. Really well done!
Letting the beat and instruments simmer in for a full measure really makes the audience appreciate it better and elevates the song a lot
Dont you mean it levitates the song a lot I'll let myself out....
by my count it is 4 bars and not just a single measure of delay
The whole song has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the lyrics a big boost

Yeah I think due to the separation of the instrumental and the vocals, the instrumental shows a melody and the vocals synchronise with it.
Facts
2:37 Wasn't convinced but this part really GOT ME! Sounds way more like she's singing with the music taking the lead, over the original, with the music accompanying her vocals. Awesome!
Thinking the exact same thing. I literally said out loud “YES” cuz it worked so well in the song
I lost brain cells trying to understand what you wrote, because it doesn't match what I've heard.
@@onaenae165 This version presents, to me personally, a song with music taking the lead, instead of Dua's vocals, whereas in the original I feel like the music is secondary to her voice. It was most clear at that moment I time stamped. But also just my interpretation no worries if you don't hear it too! :)
Tbh that’s the only part that delaying vocal just made sense!
YES
First thing I noticed was that there is a few bars where the beat “cools off” at the end of the chorus which is a neat effect. It’s almost like the opposite effect of a “drop” which builds hype before the chorus, this takes some time to chill even while the chorus is still not quite done. ❤
from 2:15 her voice is so beautiful, theres somehting about that smoothness, the flow and the accent that just sounds soo good!
I don’t know what the music being synced in the original does but her voice sounds so much better and cleaner in this like you can hear more of what she’s doing with her vocals
yeah exactly, was think the same both the music and vocals sound way more detailed
The vocals here are a bit different, not 100% as the same as the normal version. Sounded like she re recorded a vocals only version
The backing vocals have been removed, we hear only the main track. And it's true, it's much more natural.
This music is beautiful! Listen to it (Love again is also a masterpiece for me)
Because the vocal stem has been separated. When they make a song, all the instruments and effects surround her voice which mask and change the sound of her voice. We are hearing her vocals at times we were never supposed to hear them.
Wow, it feels like such a better payoff when the vocal chorus catches up to the music. Instead of a big wall of sound, it's more like putting a cherry on top of a great groove.
I agree, the original always sounded cheesy and too much pop, never liked it. This fixes the whole song.

If you like this version, there's a very simple reason, and some already explained it here: Build-up. Most songs nowadays have only repeating melody and harmony, and this version makes it seem like the harmony is building and ramping up the song. There are a few genres that I see doing this consistently: - EDM - Gospel - Soundtracks And I love all of them, particularly artists like TheFatRat, who can pull out an amazing build-up while keeping it complex and beautiful, even on top of a simple chord progression. Aside from that, I love funky songs, so Dua Lipa stole my heart there, 'cause she does a lot of them. Also a fan of Haywyre, who mixes EDM, Jazz, Funk, and whatnot.
Haywyre 🙌
TheFatRat 💝
I think I know why this sounds more instrumental focused. In the original song, the changes in the beat happen at the same time Dua sings a new section (verse/bridge/chorus etc.), so they go under the radar because you’re used to the beat changing when the section of the song changes. But because the transition from verse -> bridge or bridge -> chorus or chorus -> verse is delayed, it doesn’t coincide with the change in beat, and so you notice the beat changes much more, especially because so few pop songs switch up the instrumental outside of a transition
could not have said it better myself
Yea I noticed that I immediately realized when the Synths hit where as in the original I didn’t notice unless I listened closely
Cause it’s not mixed the same as the album
@@jarydm87 no it’s mixed the same, it’s just the vocals come in at a different time
The beat stands out more in this sense and in general, it’s a different listen. I personally like it a lot because I do like it when songs try to experiment or break from the cliché. However, it is subjective in every sense.
for those wondering how they make it sound good; all they did was place the vocals 4 bars ahead (correct me if i’m wrong, i wasn’t counting when the video started) and it works cuz this songs got the same chords played throughout.
Yeah you’re totally right.
Yup, just counted. Exactly 4 bars
Exactly correct. And it's not just w/this song, this can be done with almost all pop music
Omg this actually sounds good
@@kriswilson6081 you’re not wrong! they all seem to follow a similar formula
So someone point out 1:20 in the comments and maaaan its by far my favorite part. Makes the vocal and music battle in a good way. Unlike in the original. (Which I loved) But damn this version realllllly makes the song shine and with just a simple 4 bar shift of the lyrics. That's crazy such a simple thing completely leveled this song up. Allowing the lyrics and instrumental introduce new parts themselves first here and there and not at the same time is something a bunch of EDM genres do. Nice to hear it happen in a pop song for a surprise.
that guitar 😩 and the violin oh my god this is amazing that we can actually appreciate the instrumental
I think that a lot of Dua Lipa songs really do have interesting instrumentals, but they're often suppressed by very typical pop vocals and can never really stand out. Totally solved it with this, amazing.
Future Nostalgia is a fantastic disco album sold as a pop album
Yeah, I’ve never been into Dua Lipa, or pop in general, but ever since I heard the bassline to one of her other songs I started to notice that they have great instrumentals
no fucking way her instrumentals are the most “old navy radio” shit i’ve ever heard in my life
@@goopdrinker8298 I'm not saying they're some incredible compositional masterpieces or anything, just that they're more interesting than cookie cutter typical pop (sometimes). I don't even like pop that much.
I agree! I never liked Dua Lipa, her music felt just boring basic pop. But then I heard physical's instrumental version... one of the best pop instrumentals ever.
Yes it does lack a bit of the punch the original version does, but this is amazing, and in some points even better than the original song
I think it highlights what's both good and bad about the original very well. It feels more like a band performing and grooving where they feel necessary. But there is also some places where the punchiness is lost. It's a good study in how writing pop music could be done in a less traditional way to great effect. Just imagine a complete rewrite with this as the inspiration.
I disagree, it adds more punch
It has way more punch and it's not even close
What punch?
There is an audible boxing punch sound effect as a sample in the middle of the song. Listen through it a couple times and you might hear it
the instrumental sounds so much more prominent in this i love it
crazy how this actually works ?!
This version feels like the instrumentals riding her vocals rather than the other way around, very interesting
Yes exactly! This guy gets it
This phrasing builds and releases tension way better than the original. As a club DJ, this is what I'm gonna start using instead of the original. I mean just listen to 2:35
how's success so far?
well she cant make anything original , id hate to go to your club bet it sucks.
@@future8856 great so far. Club goers still like singing along to this song a year later and this version makes it a little fresh and new in a way they can't quite put their finger on
@@johnwink9587 dude your comment literally doesn't make sense. Who tf cares whether her music is original or not, people still want to hear it at the club. You sound like a ton of fun at parties tho
Thanks for the time stamp king, that part is gas. I wish you success in your field
The fact this is BETTER is sitting weird with me. I love this.
i dont know how music works but i know for sure this version is way better than the original omg her voice is so clear and good here
I really like this version!! It sounds more “fresh” and not like a “predictable” pop song
True
That’s exactly what I felt! ❤
i feel like someone should make a video essay about this, bc this is kinda of insane how different the song sounds.
Well it would be kinda weird if it sounded the same lol
It would make for a very interesting video essay indeed.
@@Begeruit’s a simple change but it’s completely transformed the song. also no dababy. bonus
somebody did lmao
Im confused, this literally fits perfectly, how isnt this just the original song
This kinda better ngl. Her vocals without instrumentals for the few seconds really stand out well
didn't have to chance to notice how good the bass in this song was before this
Check the juliaplaysgroove cover
I love this version because it makes it sound a lot more funky. Dua Lipa's instrumentals are often drowned out in her songs
This shit slaps boi
I played this at my Birthday Party and my friends were soo confused Lol I love it 😂

Honestly, I love when a chorus drops down and isolates on the se ond round, its a unique and special feel, it works so well here.
THAT’S what I’ve been trying to say, thank you. I don’t know music but that’s what I’ve been thinking. The chorus dropping on the second part of the instrumental instead of the first as it did originally not only serves to make the chorus easier to actually understand, but also makes the instrumental feel all the more powerful
@AdamKlownzinger I came back to this because I'm having a rough day and it's just so good AHH. The second chorus especially, because it seriously amps up on the repeat creating more of an unexpected burst of energy. The fact the whole song pauses for the final prechorus line also just really hits and anticipates the final event. It has this charge and release feel, it separates her from the instruments so they compliment each other
I actually do really like the energy of the original, where everything matches up, but I also find it overwhelming. I can't listen to it too many times because trying to parse out her vocals from the background music (I have Auditory Processing Disorder) gives me an overstimulation-headache. This is far easier to listen to, especially repeatedly.
that buildup of tension at 1:49 to the pay off at 2:41 feels so good
Yess
This is actually way better than the original honestly. I love how the instrumental sits for awhile before the lyrics kick in. It’s like a prelude for what she’s about to sing. I also think it’s cool how the beat stops before she does, it’s like a fade out rather than an abrupt stop
I really like this version
it's not
it makes the verses build up as it gets to the pre chorus
oh please, give me a break. It is not better than the original, some of the phrasing and transitions are quite awkward.
Refreshing
Dude, this is so much better than the original. Impressive!
Her voice is amazing
Agreed
Everything abt her is amazing
@@Thilaro__ ikr! She’s my favorite music artist 💖

This really gives a unique experience. Many people might find this idea ridiculous and not something that would make much difference. Actually this makes such a different listening experience, and one that is quite interesting. Thanks for making and uploading this video.
Just. Wow.
I already love the original but this version blew me away! 2:24-2:42 was so wonderfully done...
yeah the 2 choruses without backup music... and the very end. MUCH BETTER i agree
@@funk3nst3in yeah✨
That part took my breath away 🤩
Evet
Actually 2:24 - 2:52 I would say
The synth sounds so good in this song I’ve never noticed it before
This genuinely improves the song! A good lesson in composition as well as emphasising both vocals and instruments
I officially like this more than the original
I think that the reason it sounds so good is that the structure of the instrumental doesn't mimic the structure of the vocals as it does in the original song. In the delayed version, the instrumental changes mid-verse and the „chorus” consists of two different parts instead of one part repeating itself twice. It's just more complex.
That synth kicking in with the bridge and then exploding as the chorus grows is actually really dope. Edit: Wonder if she's gotten to hear this herself.
The synth was so good
2:40 no way that works so well wow
This isn't supposed to sound so good 😮wow
holy shit I was prepared for a meme video but that fucking SLAPPED
A lot was changed but big factors: The repeating of the chorus isnt as boring anymore! Every pop song really needs to work on making the repetitions in a song enjoyable and unique rather than catchy. Because of these factors, and thanks to the beat: it feels like the song is actually a story. Theres a start. A middle. And an end. So many songs feel like there's a good start, then the song. Maybe a little bit of an end. But it doesnt feel like the song is building up, EXPLOSION, then conclusion. That's how an average pop song should feel in my opinion. AN ENDING THAT FEELS LIKE AN ENDING. With the instrumentals gone, it gives the effort she put in her vocals more spotlight. She sung it in a way that felt like it was the end. And the lack of music helped pronounce that. Too many songs, just end. I want proper endings.
Radio edits are the best and worst things to happen to pop music.
the ending in this version is literally the best thing ever
„Catchy“ however is the thing that makes it go viral on social media. But I totally agree with you - why make a 3 minute song that just repeats the same 15 seconds again and again - it’s just boring.
Glad I am not the only one that fucking despise boring and useless arrangements. Songs should be more like movies
Man you boasted ✅️
It's very interesting because at times it can be awkward, but because the lyrics are still on beat so it works surprisingly well
Sounds like SHAKIRA! 😄 I don’t think I’ve ever heard the original (at least not completely?) but I think this one is great!!! Wouldn’t have noticed anything bad at all from it !
This prioritizes the bass guitar a little more and I like how you can appreciate both seperately when they arent lined up
Begone evil number.
she's so talented vocally but some of her music is just too much for me but if it sounded like this i would be obsessed! shows off her vocal abilities a lot more somehow. especially the bridge, it sounds incredible omg
This album is really good to show off her vocals, it’s the one I’d suggest you listen to if any
@@andrewdyogi9820 absolutely One of the best albums of 2020 Undoubtedly
"You heard this how many times exactly again, Sir?" Me: "Yes."
I heard or read somewhere that your brain releases dopamine when you listen to a song more than one time with some period of time in between each listening. Because it can guess the next beat and it’s rewarding, so I’m thinking maybe it’s also the reason why it slaps really hard when you listen to this version of the song, only because we have listened to it before and now it’s a different way and more rewarding.
2:20 GODDD THIS PART IS SO GOOD
Iou
FRRRRRRR
You can hear their voice better
I feel like I can appreciate Dua's vocals in this version more
You could put her vocals anywhere and this song would be a masterpiece. It's such a well constructed song!
Yeah, but you can actually hear it in this version
It’s sounds much fuller and everything gets to breathe, it’s not just “noise”
This version really emphasizes parts of the song I hadn’t appreciated before. Nice work 👍
This moves the hook of "I Got You" to a bridge, meaning the drop comes on "You Want Me". Also you can now clearly hear more instrumentation at 0:28, 1:47 and a few other moments. It's way more funky, but less pop-like.
we have enough pop songs
