  1. @acertm @GJMalaquias @ikigaimusic If complexity was the only ingredient to
    good music then John Cage modern classical and Prog Rock would be the all
    time best hit songs. Buddy Holly was simplicity. We Will Rock You is
    simplistic. Good music or songs we identify with aren’t winners of the
    “Annual Worldwide Complexity Prize”… and they shouldn’t be, imho.

  2. it was not made in 1 min, much has to be premaid: Saxophone has 3 levels of
    sound but he touches only 2 buttons. Doing the Sounds need much more time
    …but yes it’s a simple song

  3. being a metal rock blues guy this music isnt for me but i respect the
    talent of the artist and applaud his success……..most of all i love the
    simplicity of arranging and creating songs in minutes……to get going and
    explore instead of engineering…….. hit song shown in minutes gotta love
    it………….

  4. @Tank8484 Your skill in the use of hypocrisy is amazing. Your calling young
    people ignorant yet you have to be pretty ignorant to assume all young
    people are ignorant.

  5. @FunkenDK If it takes only 5 minutes to make a really successful track,
    than everybody would be a musician… First, you have to learn the whole
    program, how a synthesizer works, musical theory etc… And ofc, without
    proper mixdown and mastering everything sounds sh1t .. I think this guy
    worked on this track from min. one week to 1-2 months.. Also making a
    catchy tune is really hard .. melody has to be simple, but not boring and
    so on… and btw I don’t like this track too.. sry for bad english

  6. @UrbanLikwid Actually some of the sounds ARE presets in the Reason factory
    sound bank. And the song is at 120BPM which is the default tempo in Reason
    so I get the sense that it came together very fast. He loaded a default
    song, tried a few factory presets until inspiration struck, and went on to
    add a little extra spice through his production and vocals. I know the
    creative process isn’t easy for all of us sometimes but then other times it
    is and you write a hit quickly and go global. 🙂

  7. He plays the trumpet and piano, he knows how to both write and read sheet
    music too. His music is ok, but his fans annoy me. Sometimes I wonder if
    you people who try to shit on JB actually listened to any of his music…
