One of the most common things in music is beats. I know lyrical is very common and also one of the greatest features but let’s have a chat about beats today. While talking about beats, it will also lead to focusing on each artistes and the kinds of beats that they all sing to.
Despite the fact that there are so many beats in this world, every artiste has chosen their niche and type of beat that they are good at. That’s why if you want to do music as a career, you should go for a kind of beat that you can jump on even without practice.
Let’s focus on Drake for now to prove the commonness of beat concept.
Drake
Who else noticed that Drake majorly jumps on slow beats. You barely see Drake sing on beats that the likes of Bruno Mars sings on. Yet, they both can do well on a song but talking about niche, Drake does well with some slow beats. Let’s compare the beats of two of his songs.
I think Hotline Bling is one of the best selling songs of Drake. Let’s now compare the song beat to God’s plan by the same artiste.
Let’s now compare the beats to each other. It’s going to be very easy to put the two songs on a beat or one of those beats and that’s just the kind of beats that Drake focuses on. There may be a slight difference but after so many findings, we tend to realize that they are the same beats.
To prove that again, you all shoul listen to Toosie slide, Family matters, IDGAF and so many other songs of his. Well, it’s important to note that he doesn’t focus on this kind of beat alone but majorly focuses on beats like this.
Adele
She’s also another person I want to focus on today. She’s one of my favorite artistes in the world and Adele is a kind of versatile artistes and the versatility can be seen in various songs of hers but what if we are to focus on her? That means we will focus on what she does most and Adele mostly goes for the slow beats.
This is “Someone like you” by Adele which has to be compared to one of her other songs titled “Hometown Glory”.
These songs can be placed on the same beat as well. That tells you that she can put about ten of her songs on just a beat and that’s one commonness about her songs.
Every artistes has a commonness in their songs. Sometimes, it can be the lyrics because I’ve seen so many artistes repeat lyrics which isn’t a bad thing.
Also, there are so mamy other artistes who sing like Drake or Adele and so many of their songs can be sang with those beats as well and that’s just it.
Even though there are so many beats in the world, each artistes have where they are good at and that’s why beats are alike in so many songs of different artistes.
