This post is but for the demonstration of the Swedish power trio, Dirty Loops, and their masterful re-imagining of such pop hits by the likes of Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Rhianna, and Adele.
These three young men are quietly tearing up YouTube with fresh progressions and melodies as they perform stunningly arranged cover versions of recent pop chart hits. Tightly executed talent, and that’s rare in today’s pop music world, but hopefully trending in that direction. And this is all, as I see it, a warm up for production on their upcoming first album of original music in 2014. I’ve enjoyed these guys for about three years, but America will be formally introduced soon. Remember that name, now: DIRTY LOOPS!
Formed in 2009, Dirty Loops is a Swedish power trio that twists pop music in a way never done before. The long time friends and fellow musicians – Jonah (vocals, keys), Henrik (bass) and Aaron (drums), all have very unique individual skills which contribute to the “Dirty Loops Sound.” Where modern hits get a new soundscape of bouncy beats, interesting re-harmonizations, but still with the hit melody in focus presented by Jonah’s incredible, wide ranged vocals. Their unmatched musicianship and unique arrangement skills are a rarity in today’s world. (Source: Dirty Loops FB page)
