lets give some props to his band too. They do an amazing job at recreating this music. Does he write with them? or do they recreate what he writes....either way it's brilliant.

how the fuck does the drummer nail that beat? holy fucking shit

[cdsolidsnake]

@theplanet1985 He writes the music like it's going to be played live. Then arranges it in a more "electronic" way, but always keeping his organic sound. Everything is written and performed. In the album he uses his tricks and stuff. But he keeps it simple to be played live. Like this.

i love this song so much.

@ViciAmbience damn why aint i think of that, yeah would be a hit

[ViciAmbience]

@walkaboutarts It's actually an autotune-sounding vocoder, for effect not believable pitch correction. It essentially funnels his voice through a melody on the keyboard. He uses a lot of vocoder, but when he sings without it he's equally as brilliant.

@doriantaylor66 I'd rather see him collaborate with the Weeknd

[ViciAmbience]

@TheZenGato What are you talking about? It's completely on beat.

[lukechohany]

I think he controls the pitch bending with his eyebrows.
