Sequencing has become something lost art in the shuffle era, but not in Harry style eyes or ears. To listen DiversityThe hitmaker of the year tell him, the coincidence of the album depends on getting the track list right. How much variety did the singer consider before deciding the final sequence of the 12 tracks of “Fine Line”? Just under a hundred, he confessed.
Styles producer Kid Harpoon says the approach to sequencing the “cautious” singer and songwriter is not at all different from how he determines the set-list for his live show. “When we were touring the gym, we would practice different sets,” he says, adding that he remembers thinking, “I don’t know; it won’t work; I don’t think it’s right.” Says, “The end result, it was perfect – it’s really hard to do on paper, but Harry definitely has a knack for it.”
When it comes to the album “Fine Line”, half the internal battle had already been won that Styles had decided that “Golden” would start releasing and the title track would end. Kid Harpoon adds that “everything in between” remains.
“Harry is very clear that he wants an album, not a collection of songs.” To test different configurations, go to both drives and listen.
Styles’ approach was straightforward: “How do you want people to hear your work?” He says Diversity. “Because I don’t sit and listen to albums, and I care about how things work out – that’s how I feel and the story that it tells. It’s just so natural that I’ll emphasize it. ”
The style accepts “Start with bookends.” They also have a purpose. “So if you have an album on repetition, it can be a round thing,” he says. “And then he’s just making it. You will have a song and think, ‘This track sounds like six. I don’t know why; It just does. ‘You listen all the way and figure out: there’s a lot of this, or I’m getting bored here, or this comes too fast. સાથે Patience with sequencing has a lot to do with it and this sequence has definitely taken a lot longer than the first album. ”
It’s not lost on styling, though, as we live in times of playlists and shuffles. When he recalls the other hand: “Someone was telling this story about their young son. They were driving. The son was in the back of the car and it was, ‘Dad, why are you playing eight Bruno Mars songs behind you?’ And Dad thought: ‘Oh my God, my son doesn’t know what an album is.’
