lweebee 490 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 To be fair... all of their instrumentals are top quality!! UOAY is particularly interesting because Kim Do-Hoon was facing the challenge to make MMM's sound more mainstream but always with that MMM style, retro, funky sound. It is much different from previous Piano Man's instrumental in almost everyway but the funk is still here. Is it much blubblier than their previous efforts, with a young audience appeal. The way he laid down the drum and synths programming with those effects and filters add a lot of peps and youthfulness to the song. The snare drums are hitting much hard, the synths sounds much more modern with a cheerful summer-y color to them. Also, sonically it is a very polyphonic instrumental. There is always an instrument/synth playing different notes along the bass. It stands on its own without vocals added, again introducing MMM as a more accessible act. More mainstream audiences will enjoy the song as whole before focusing on the voices. In contrast to UOAY, You're The Best for instance is more stripped down. The instrumental can sometimes sound a bit empty but that's on purpose because the focus is the girl's voices. They complete the instrumentals only with their voices, harmonies, runs and so on. UOAY's purpose was clearly different, and it achieved to do exactly what it needed to. KDH is very smart. The man also plays with MMM's uniqueness and their creativity by adding the spoken moment in the bridge where the pace is interrupted for the unexpected comedic skit moment. I love that MMM doesn't only sing (which given their talent they could have done just that) but they're given room to show their personality in the song itself, and that's very unique. You could compare that to the spoken moments in Mr Ambiguous, or the bridge in You're The Best (live performances). I think I was a bit disappointed when I found out how different it was from Piano Man, but now I understand what Kim Do-Hoon did. Even the lyrics are more straightforward and easier to sing to compared to Piano Man (but we're talking about the instrumental here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baechulgi 974 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 UOAY instrumental has to be one of y faves ever. When I first heard it through the UOAY teaser I was more interested in the instrumental itself tbh because the synth part in the chorus is so good! I still listen to it a lot too! Anyway yasss recognize Kim Do Hoon's genius~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
