|
|

|
It's a record about love and happiness and inner peace ("Oh what a world/And then there is you" she marvels on one of many memorable choruses), and most of the time could not be more clear-hearted or earnest.
|
|
Though Brodsky wouldn't be a part of the writing process for the album, the fact that Converge so willingly downshifted, and incorporated actual choruses into their chaotic compositions, allowed them to take their most ambitious stride up to that point.
|
|
There are very few choruses to be found, in the traditional sense; many songs resemble swatches of melody stitched together like a patchwork quilt, with sudden tempo shifts, whispered asides, and instrumental passages that linger like string in the breeze.
|
|
Scott has been criticized for nabbing other rappers' styles (often his adlibs recall Young Thug's, often his choruses recall Kid Cudi's — although that's Cudi himself on "Way Back" and "Through the Late Night"), but that's not how I hear it.
|
|
Choruses of "I Love My Green Bay Packers" and "The Bears Still Suck" bounced off wood-panelled walls like a ball off a receiver's hand, and homesick Wisconsinites ordered delicious "imported" brats buried in sauerkraut and mustard for five dollars.
|
|
Wednesday night's performance was greeted by a fevered, familiar reaction, as fans raised their beer cups in unison, screamed along to the punchy choruses (and to the most verbally labyrinthine verses) and threw bursts of glittering confetti toward the stage.

" Over apocalyptic ska riffs and galloping hardcore choruses, Navarro howls, "Drinking water that makes you fucking sick / Left with no choice but to live like hostages / The rich politicians getting over on the poor / Rich corporations are waging class war.
|

All we heard from doctors was choruses of, "We just don't know yet ... the virus is so new ... we need more data .... no one knows..." I had been reading the empirical research for months so I knew that there was no clear prognosis.
|
|
The production, mostly by the team of Pop & Oak, leans on solemn keyboards and slow, programmed drumbeats with an R&B undertow, and Ms. Cara's melodies use the syncopations of hip-hop in the verses, on their way to more expansive pop choruses.
|
|
It lets you take the lead of how you'd like your guitar playing to sound, with points being awarded for hitting chord changes that all fit neatly within a song's verses and choruses, which keeps you sounding like you know what you're doing.

Soon extra screens showed live feeds of choruses in New York, Beijing, Berlin, Sydney, and Cape Point, South Africa, all in perfect sync with the thousands singing in Nagano, in what was one of the most stirring and inventive performances in Olympics history.
|
|
Their latest effort, No Warning, which was produced by Toxic Holocaust's Joel Grind, boasts dual-lead riffs that lay a foundation for a seriously headbangable time, yet give way to choruses that'll be stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
|
|
Just one of the many dozens of immaculate gifts Lorde has given me, this collection of endlessly looping choruses in endlessly looping pop songs is still the perfect soundtrack to a sugar-crash nap, a long walk, or a really good makeout.
|
|
Its influences included the stentorian wails of emerging American legend Ronnie James Dio and his band Rainbow, combined with the hard rock that paved the way for new wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM), with its epic choruses and fist pumping bravado.
|
|
Dylan Baldi has rediscovered the fury that gave Attack on Memory and Here and Nowhere Else their nihilistic power; Jayson Gerycz is once again the most propulsive and energetic drummer in modern rock music; their verses kick and scream; their choruses are immediate.
|
|
So did David Dabbon, who identified 400 different choruses in the metropolitan area when he worked as the music supervisor of "The Events," a play staged last year at New York Theater Workshop that enlisted a different local singing group at each performance.
|
|
It's also hard to deny that Brazilian rap—even at the early 2000s, when the genre was at the peak of its aggression and rawness with artists like Racionais and Trilha Sonora do Gueto—frequently incorporated melodic influences through its choruses and samples.
|
|
Admittedly, none of these songs are "melodic" in the traditional sense, but they all boast some mixture of reasonable pacing, relatively simple structuring, and bountiful clean vocals or choruses that prove that Anaal Nathrakh is capable of more than just single-minded brutality.
|
|
Beyond Kemp's home run, the Dodgers' offense was powered by Manny Machado, the lightning rod shortstop, who regularly endured choruses of boos from the crowd at Fenway but managed to drive in three runs on a single, a groundout and a sacrifice fly.
|
|
But in a broader sense the term classical music has been adopted as a way to describe the continuing heritage of music mostly written to be performed in concert halls and opera houses by orchestras, singers, choruses, chamber ensembles and solo instrumentalists.
|
|
Mr. Petty's music provided the soundtrack to countless parties and long highway drives; as much a pop hitmaker as a rock 'n' roll craftsman, he'll be remembered for his instantly unforgettable choruses, and for how good it feels to sing along to them.
|
|
It was the beginning of a recording career that spanned about 20 albums as a leader, including dazzling solo piano records; collaborations with choruses and tap dancers; and an array of small-group albums that range from acoustic jazz to avant-funk.
|
|
In recent years, the 39-year-old Mr. Church has deftly fused contemporary Nashville sounds (slick production, twangy guitars, soaring choruses) and Bruce Springsteen-inspired songwriting with very uncountry sonic adornments (heavy metal- and blues-inflected guitar riffs and other studio atmospherics).
|
|
In her polished range of textures and expertly unfolding verses and choruses, Jepsen's music bounces and catches the ear, but there's a shyness to her songwriting and a tentative quality to her beats that signals a turn inward, which is her secret.
|
|
No one else on the planet would have ever considered combining Radio 4 panel show standard comedy rapping with one of the clunkiest choruses ever composed, let alone decided to record it, release it, shoot a video for it, and do promo for it.
|
|
Among the softer pieces and electronic numbers are two guitar-driven songs with the sort of stadium-filling choruses that have been missing for a decade: "Tyson vs Douglas" and "Run for Cover" (the latter of which was started in 2008 but never finished).
|
|
Electronic squeals imitating voices and a synthesizer riff doubled on guitar adorn the rigid yet slithery "Easy Tiger," while "Live in the Moment" blasts forth with splendid confidence thanks to chugging bass, a smashing organ effect, and one of the band's more rousing singalong choruses.
|
|
Next month, on July 15, the duo are releasing their self-titled debut album on The Nite Owl Diner, and it comes right on time for late, balmy summer nights spent belting catchy pop choruses out the taxi windows with your friends from high school.
|
|
With a driving pace that will cause you to leave a gig with a sore neck and ripping don't-try-this-at-home vocals, "Nova Scotia" combines swooping melodic choruses and longing lyrics in a way that positions them somewhere between Superchunk and The Weakerthans.
|
|
Small opera might sound like an oxymoron to people whose idea of the art form is rooted in stagings of Wagner's "Ring" cycle or Verdi's "Aida" as Cecil B. DeMille-worthy spectacles with huge orchestras, big choruses, legions of spear carriers and even large animals.
|
|
Tagging the project as a deliberate corrective against the scary environment he grew up in and, by extension, the scary emotions that drive so much hip-hop, would be too simple, although certainly his communitarian ethos and radiant major-key choruses function that way.
|
|
Unspeakable Axe's upcoming 4 Doors to Death full-length split offers an excellent collection of modern death metal, and fans of both Horrendous and Chthe'ilist will find something to satisfy (though those seeking singalong choruses or In Flames worship would do well to look elsewhere).
|
|
The record defies traditional song structure—a rare and bold move compared to the most popular emo bands of the time, who built their careers on teenage lyricism and anthemic choruses—with nearly half of the tracks clocking in at over five minutes long.
|
|
It's … fine, a contemporary spin on funk and R&B that at times sounds like Earth Wind & Fire's "September"—forthcoming single "Sunny"—mashed up with the sort of female-fronted pop song that would use one of those ubiquitous "HEY!" choruses (recent single "Haters").
|
|
The tracks are reverberant electronic dirges; the rhymes, heading into sung choruses, testify to bewilderment, mourning, resentment, self-pity and questions about what to do after a cathartic memorial concert: "I get tackled by the grief at times that I would least expect," he raps.
|
|
On the group's latest record, "Life Without Sound," Dylan Baldi, Cloud Nothings' creative mastermind, takes cues from forebears like Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and Paul Westerberg of the Replacements; an enthralling scuzz prevails, but the guitar hooks are sharper and the choruses far more hummable.
|
|
Rounding out Reznor's trilogy of political mini-albums, there are no anthemic choruses or enticing dance beats to spare the listener from a bottomless pit of robotic stoner rock and ominous drones, echoing how America's slide into darkness seems to have consumed everything in its path.
|
|
Its choruses run laps around your brain (listen to "medicine" once and try to forget it), and though throughout the album there are nods to pop, chillwave, emo, and hip-hop, all of these genres are brought together by a pervasively woozy, but cohesive synth sound.
|
|
It's a genre that ticks all of the boxes in popular music today—the dembow beats, the one-word choruses, the pop melodies, the hip-winding appeal—it's extremely accessible, and it delivers its message to break down cultural barriers, one Spanglish word at a time.
|
|
With its shout-along choruses, fuck-it-all attitude, and unabashed guitar worship, the record was instantly gratifying, and only sounded better as the Saturdays of July and August offered the chances to blast its eight songs out of car windows on sunny drives to the beach.
|
|
As with RL's previous single "Reims"—his first original in three years—"Stay for It" sees the producer continue to explore a more cinematic side, this time playing with somber piano chords that steadily build with Miguel's belting choruses into an eruption of stadium-filling synths.
|
|
The instrumental accompaniment calls not only for Italian violins but also for the vigüela de arco , a bowed instrument with a medieval Iberian lineage, while the opera's fetching sequence of arias and choruses mixes Italian da-capo arias with Spanish-style songs that incorporate haunting miniature refrains.
|
|
K-pop fans have perfected the art of the fan chant, in which fans in live studio audiences and live performances will shout alternate fan chants over the musical intros to songs, and sometimes as a counterpoint to choruses, as a show of unity and support.
|
|
During matches in Mexico, particularly at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, fans greeted every touch of the ball by Donovan with searing choruses of jeers and epithets, and they bombarded him with cups and coins and sometimes far worse as he set up for corner kicks.
|
|
Supposedly, this is the protest album we've been waiting for since the 2016 election, the concentrated blast of punk rage to obliterate all your anxieties and enemies beneath distorted guitars, martial drumming, and rousing choruses, an explicit musical condemnation of the dystopia the president hath wrought.
|
|
But she was drawn to dance music and electronics, and her recent EP, "Now That the Light Is Fading" (which includes the viral hit "Alaska"), merges rural-sounding melodies and programmed beats, thoughtful verses and poppy choruses — the natural (including sounds recorded outdoors) and the virtual.
|
|
On Modern Mirror, they harken again to the past—alternately conjuring early 21000AD gods like Cocteau Twins, the post-punk bellows of Killing Joke, the stadium-worthy choruses of Duran Duran, and the shimmering ethereality of Kate Bush—while unpacking the cultural moods of the present.
|
|
For a half-hour, the album breaks the mold and proves that there's still some fight left in that creaky old punk warhorse, tossing in a few golden-era Weezeresque guitar licks, squeaky voiced screams, and jump-up-and-down choruses about being off your meds.
|
|
Back then the South London-based band were one the most exciting new acts in the UK. Incisive songs like "Helicopter" and "Banquet" still stand up today as indie anthems that stitch together mathy guitars jagged enough to eviscerate and choruses by turns brooding and smartly pop.
|
|
She sings two verses and two choruses with politely distant fatigue — "Whoohoohoohooh youoohoohooh nee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eee eeeded me" — and then, during the fadeout, starts moaning in a high whimper so quiet you might miss it.
|
|
Here's one of the choruses of alarming sounds mixed with fairy-wren and other bird calls:The birds themselves don't make alarm sounds when they flee, according to the paper, so there's still more work to do in order to understand how this learning happens outside the experimental setting.
|
|
This album's weird harmonies and compulsive tempo changes have inspired comparisons to '70s progressive rock, but with prog, the constant musical changes are meant to be showy, whereas Black Midi's soothing, through-composed excursions, often lacking defined verses or choruses, swathe in a warmly enveloping blanket of static.
|
|
"And then came 🐝:) — Natalie Maines (@1NatalieMaines) November 3, 2016 Some of the genre's biggest stars welcomed Beyoncé's dabbling with open arms though, including Dierks Bentley, who told Billboard, "It's not just choruses that are catchy and verses that could be intermixed anywhere as some pop songs are.
|
|
But given that it's free or cheap, it might serve as an introduction almost as efficient as Luaka Bop's you betcha classic Brazil Classics 4: The Best of Tom Zé, not least because it lightens up on the female choruses Zé isn't the only aging songpoet to lean on.
|
|
Letters To the Editor: Re "Democrats Fight to Pull Together on an Unruly Day" (front page, July 26): While the disruptive behavior of some particularly vocal Bernie Sanders supporters at the Democratic National Convention has been childish, there is an important warning lurking within those choruses of boos.
|
|
In a 2002 interview with The Observer, Bruce Springsteen outlined his songwriting process as making it so "the verses are the blues, the chorus is the gospel"—meaning that the verses are full of travail, and the choruses ring with optimism—which I think is a pretty failsafe strategy.
|
|
And when Brian clips his cymbals to give "Rockers to Swallow" its swinging dynamic shifts, between understated verses and roaring choruses on Is Is, it's almost impossible to not want to swing your head around, imagining you've got a mic in hand and are swaggering about as Karen would.
|
|
Realizing she had to go solo and switch to electropop, she began project MØ. Her debut, No Mythologies to Follow , came out in 2014 and captured the confusion of being a young adult along with massive bass and pulsing synths, via pop choruses of Spice Girls–level catchiness.
|
|
By the mid-2010s, lots of listeners had agreed to leave EDM in the past.. It was a strange, if still remarkable thing to witness: by then, we'd replaced sing-along choruses on the charts with behemoth instrumental breakdowns (something that pop stars are still doing to this day).
|
|
Mr. Kupfer's work stood out, Mr. Kosky added, for the musical underpinnings of his ideas; the demands he put on singers to act and use their whole bodies as well as their voices; the emotional core that informed his storytelling; and the way he would direct his choruses.
|
|
Their take-no-prisoners fury and snarky sing-song choruses have quickly made them local favorites in the DIY and indie scene, but they've proved difficult to keep tabs on, eschewing Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter in favorite of keeping things old-school—and shrouded in a little mystique.
|
|
Way back in 2011, Grub Street discovered that the cheeses from Westside Market tended to come with an interesting assortment of song lyrics and quotations printed on the labels, everything from Beatles choruses to Elizabethan-era dad jokes ("To Brie or Not To Brie") to lines from James Patterson books.
|
|
Her last album, 2010's Body Talk, served as a blueprint for the sound of mainstream music in the decade that followed: from Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" to Taylor Swift's 1989, you can hear Robyn's influence — bright synths, perfectly symmetrical choruses and more than a whiff of melancholy.
|
|
The music that came out of Cheiron Studios was so perfectly balanced, and the choruses never start on the same beat as the verse, and there are these set rules that makes it seem like there is a formula to existence—but there isn't really, there are just self-imposed rules.
|
|
On the defensive after some bad headlines, a jump in border crossings and agitated by Fox News TV reports of a "caravan" of Central American asylum-seekers and activists making its way through Mexico towards America, the president fired off several dawn choruses of tweets, denouncing "our "Weak Laws" Border".
|
|
Backed by Nico Segal and The Social Experiment, with Jamila Woods leading the six-piece gospel choir, Chance slowed it down, adding a few sleigh bells to the intro, doing away with theatrical pep, reducing the first verse to balladry, focusing on the soulful church organ core of the choruses.
|
|
To me, the band's power-packed, epic choruses have always sounded like adverts for internet suppliers, but to Sophie, they had come at a point in her life where she needed something to uplift her, to give her back some power and to show her that there's light amidst the darkness.
|
|
The pair spent much of their time hanging out at Paulus's house, where they began their informal jazz education thanks to Greg's father, Stephen, an acclaimed classical music composer whose career spanned hundreds of commissions for operas, choruses, and orchestras; and co-writing a song performed at two former U.S. presidents' funerals.
|
|
The song sees the band leaning on their poppier, dancier side, recalling the more buoyant moments of Cuban Ballerina and the Little Brother EP. Annicharico and Dalrymple trade off verses and choruses, singing about the declining state of the world and the perverse rush we all feel from endlessly tweeting about it.
|
|
Marissa Paternoster, the band's leader, singer and guitarist, sings the title with calm certainty at the beginning and makes it a rising threat as a repeated refrain; vocal melody, sharpened with Ms. Paternoster's penetrating vibrato, prevails in both verses and choruses, even as she flings shards of guitar from above and below.
|
|
The song is low-key and more emotionally raw than a lot of Haim's past offerings (it's kind of the spiritual daughter of "My Song 5" from Days Are Gone), and for many, it didn't click immediately the way that Haim songs always have in the past, with their hooky choruses and sunny riffs.
|
|
And she stays within a narrower range in her vocal melodies, sticking to chant-like choruses and sometimes obscuring her voice with a vocoder or burying it deep in the mix—another way that "Reputation" has ceded Swift's ownership of her sound to a force bigger than her, if there is such a thing.
|
|
With the tempos often above 300 BPM, each track blasts into your face with the compressed mania of a ringtone, and the structure of the original composition speeds by with the intensity of a knotty prog song, turning on a dime through verses and choruses and little bridges that blur into each other seconds apart.
|
|
Amid these full-hearted praise choruses is a worship song he last heard his cousin sing at his grandmother's funeral, a heartbreaking bit about running up the steps of heaven to meet his dead dog, a confessional about nearly losing everything to a pharmaceutical addiction last year, and frank discussion of the gang-related strife in his hometown.
|
|
They matched heavy guitar riffs and rough, raspy choruses with political critique: in Britain, the Sex Pistols lashed out at the monarchy's "fascist regime", Elvis Costello condemned the Falklands war and the Clash offered an apocalyptic vision of London where the "ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in / Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin".
|
|
Brought aboard the original film by composer Hans Zimmer to provide an authentic African flavor to the choruses, chants and compositions, Lebo M has been a constant as the franchise flourished, including contributions to a companion soundtrack, the Broadway musical score, the direct-to-video sequel, live concert performances and, most recently, filmmaker Jon Favreau's photorealistic computer-animated remake.
|
|
Here, they reverse their strategy, throwing pop discipline out the window and going overboard with the massive choruses and instrumental flourishes — swanky horns, electronic strings, keyboard frills, overdubbed operatic backup harmonies, key changes ("LA Devotee"!), flashy neon lights bathing everything in a gauzy crimson glow, all ripping holes in the plastic that used to constrain them.
|
|
Guests like Empress Of's Lorely Rodriguez, Debbie Harry, and Nelly Furtado take on some of the vocal heavy lifting; samples of prominent queer and black activists and writers like Marlon Gibbs and Ta-Nehisi Coates fill the gaps between misty choruses; found sounds from Hynes' beloved New York and Paris Is Burning's ball queens flesh out the album's world.
|
|
Mr. Smith founded the Gregg Smith Singers in 2100, when he was still a graduate student of music at the University of California, Los Angeles, and led it for more than 21967 years, maintaining its reputation as one of the finest and most adventurous professional choruses in the United States and the inspiration for a host of successors.
|
|
Pop punk is traditionally structured and built around huge choruses in much the same way as regular pop, so it makes sense the novelty of tongue-in-cheek remakes of mainstream pop songs would do particularly well with the sort of people who enjoy to yell "fuck the mainstream!!!!" a lot, but whose favorite band is Paramore.
|
|
In the years between albums, the band's signature sound — a moody voice in close-up over just a few instruments, with the barest hint of a dance beat — made its way into big pop hits like Hailee Steinfeld's "Love Myself" and the Chainsmokers' "Don't Let Me Down" (though the xx's habitual restraint doesn't extend to the choruses).
|
|
ORATORIO SOCIETY OF NEW YORK, MAY 8 You did not need to be a dogmatic one-voice-per-part minimalist when it comes to Bach choruses to worry that 203 choristers on the Carnegie Hall stage for the Mass in B minor would inevitably inject some chaos into music in which clarity of line and rhythm is all-important.
|
|
There is also playfulness in the short videos and slide images projected through old-time carousels, with all the whirring and pops of that archaic technology, and in the disco music streaming from a small stereo placed on the floor, which always sounds a bit like a Baptist church to me, with it jubilant choruses and energetic harmonies.
|
|
Car Seat Headrest: Teens of Denial (Matador) Every indie-rock sadboy has his own method of coping with existential depression, and Will Toledo's involves scale — if marshalled guitar riffs, inspirational choruses, and rather long songs can fill an arena, surely they can crush all those residual negative feelings that drive one to music in the first place.
|
|
They're obviously not the only pop group to do this (you can read Gavin Hayne's brilliant dissection of the "Millennial Whoop" in the Guardian to see how artists like Katy Perry and Frank Ocean make use of hopping between the fifth and third notes of a major scale in particular), but it's a key component in their consistently catchy choruses.
|
|
To make it a little less cutesy, Mr. Malloy studied not only college a cappella (three "Octet" actors and Annie Tippe, the show's director, are veterans of the New York University a cappella group N'Harmonics), but also Tuvan throat singing, Appalachian shape note singing, German yodeling choirs, Balkan choruses and the work of composer-performers like Meredith Monk and Caroline Shaw.
|
|
Nothing Gray has done in the past two decades has matched the universal appeal of her debut album, "On How Life Is" (which included the chart-topping smash "I Try"), but she has stayed rather faithful to the sound she sketched out there: a mix of take-no-crap attitude and dreaminess, full of contagious choruses, jazz flourishes and hints of Caribbean rhythm.
|
|
The Donna Summer bio-musical "Summer" also splits its titular role among three performers, but "The Cher Show," written by Rick Elice ("Jersey Boys"), and directed by Jason Moore ("Avenue Q"), features more interaction between the different avatars, who share the stage for extended periods of time, trade verses and choruses of a single song, and banter with each other.
|
|
He prepared choruses for hundreds of concerts by the New York Philharmonic and a host of other famous orchestras and maestros, and he trained generations of singers and conductors at Westminster Choir College in Princeton N.J. He often readied choirs behind the scenes, then handed them off to more famous conductors, who would lead them onstage for the final rehearsals and performances.
