Ariana Grande - Eternal Sunshine

[Pipo]

I Was joking babes. As if I ever leave the house!

 

[Kratz]

Drinks and music are too different things

The words are RETRO or CLASSIC

early 90s house music will never ever be old fashioned

Fucking Gen Zers

OK BOOMER!

 

[funky]

OK BOOMER!

Don’t act like you don’t love an assertive daddy.

 

[Kratz]

Don’t act like you don’t love an assertive daddy.

Babe, I am THAT assertive daddy

An old-fashioned for one at Casa Pipo!

Well I love it, when her vocals first come in under Ari’s and then they flip it for the second, I like.

Less keen on her wailing towards the end but it’s great to hear her on a song like this!

(Has it always been walk this way through the fire?!)

 

[straightorbroken]

Finally down with this song. Pow

 

[Loufoque]

Queen came through and said "remember how I used to belt on my remixes? Let me remind you"

 

[joanne]

she should've done subtle breathy vocals. the screeching works in the last chorus, but not throughout the whole song.

well, she ruined it. but it was already ruined from the get-go.

 

[Loufoque]

Maybe I just love Mariah being in her Fly Away / Butterfly Reprise vocal bag, ad-libbing the fuck over everything and saying it with her chest (voice), but this vocal makeover has finally elevated what was a pleasant "put in on in the background" bop to where I needed it to be. The next MC album needs to give us ageing gays some old-school club mixes.

I like Mariah's solo verse. the part on Ari's verse where they "blend" her voice is so amateur though. overall it's a bit of a mess.

 

[untilted]

Better with Mariah!

 

[Kratz]

Yes. Their voices don’t really complement each other (at least not here).

Not seeing enough POSITIVITY in this thread

Anyway, this is indeed a remix by two artists.

 

[Kratz]

Not seeing enough POSITIVITY in this thread

I’m going to go listen to the new Blanka song again. There’s your positivity.

 

[GNL]

not her own verse of her own!!!

Like a young (and skinny!) Virginia Woolf.

 

[dUb]

Loving this now. Just needed to get a handle on the ad libs

That one at 3:11 is really reminiscent of the classic remix era

 

[funky]

Mariah sounds great on the verse on her own, but she sounds like your Nan on karaoke on the choruses. The harmonies do not work for me.

 

[dUb]

 

[funky]

HOWLING

(like Mariah)

 

[K.C.]

There's definitely more punch to it now. Love Mariah's verse I love both versions.

 

[Pipo]

well, that's definitely a remix.

Why didn't they let her sing the chorus too?

 

[Pipo]

KC and DuB, I know you can probably tell better than anyone, is that Mariah singing the pre-chorus on a higher key than Ariana? The "boy c'mon put your lipstick on..." bit?

 

[K.C.]

Yes, Mariah's vocals are definitely in that part. You can hear it especially when they sing "in a dark situation" I think.

 

[Pipo]

Yes, she's clearly audible in the second part of that bit but not so much during the first line.

 

[dUb]

Maybe this is the video

 

[Pipo]

no expense spared

 

[OutSynk]

When Mariah first comes in

 

[Eddie]

If it was Mariah's inention to completely replace Ariana on the track, then it is an overwhelming success.

 

[K.C.]

I don't know about "replace" but I do love that they both have great presence on the track.

 

[Halli]

Oh I like it

 

[Christian]

Oh this is amazing

The harmonies are jarring and everything and Mariah sounds incredible

And that ending is truly a WHISTLE NOTE extravaganza

 

[untilted]

Does anybody know who's whistles belong to who? I'm guessing the one at the start that goes after Ariana's run is Mariah, since we've also seen her imply it, but there's some in the last chorus and I can't decipher who is who. Usually I'd just shrug and say "that's Mariah" but since both singers are capable of using the technique I'm not sure.

 

[RJN]

Oh this is amazing

The harmonies are jarring

A ringing endorsement
