The “less is more” mentality has negatively impacted music. Bring back doing the absolute MOST on records.
I want all the riffs, runs, harmonies, bridges, choreographed music videos, all of dat.
some may call me a purist but idc. listening to old music & music today… the bar is in hell chile. musical MUSICIANS shouldn’t be an anomaly, it should be the standard.

Lmao my mentor literally just told me today that I overproduce my records and do too much.
It’s sad but the kids and average listeners don’t care about it as much as others do 😓 we’re in the minority for this lol
@cheyatl
agreed; I highly recommend checking out

’s debut album “Yours, Saintly,” packed masterfully with all these things and more— they even brought back physical album packaging with credits! promise you’ll enjoy it. 🙏🏾

People just misinterpret what “Less is more” means. It is doing what is required to make it hot. Not to do less for the sake of doing less or more just to do more. It’s doing what is necessary and sometimes less is more, but sometimes you actually have to do more if necessary.
@cheyatl
Not to be this artist but that was literally what I told the team for my latest single. All the BGVs, layers, runs, high notes, sections. It doesn’t do as well when you do all that but it makes it more fun for me 🤷🏾♂️
@cheyatl
"Less is more" is misunderstood. It's not having a minimal amount of elements in a piece. It's knowing when it's "enough". Pseudo-minimalists fall short bc "less" is only "more" when everything the piece needed to say is said
It's not a quantity standard, it's a quality one
@cheyatl
I’m with you on this. I love the simple too but, let’s hear a production. Make my face flinch. Let me rewind for a run or inflection. Make me think it’s a group even though it’s one person.
