glitch Posted October 18 Posted October 18 (edited) I was listening to the new Rosé and Bruno Mars song and I realised they're the latest in a long line of singers to reuse the exact same melody And obviously the latest offender Edited October 18 by glitch 1 1
RideOrDie Posted October 18 Posted October 18 is it that common chord progression? it's not the same melody but it's a very used simple chord progression that you'd have to actively avoid using 9
eli's_rhythm Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I don't think APT really fits here tbh. Many other examples though - definitely a common pop progression.
Maresia Posted October 18 Posted October 18 i would love to know too! i've noticed it so much that i even made a playlist, which i haven't updated in a while, despite many songs with the same melody coming out since then. some other offenders: poppy - altar one direction - night changes charli xcx - white mercedes troye sivan - one of your girls weekly - after school ava max - so am i conan gray - affluenza 5 seconds of summer - lie to me pitbull & xtina - feel this moment 1 2
byzantium Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I feel like this is probably some common chord progression that has existed for centuries. Why do people use it? Well it sounds nice. Why not? 6
bad guy Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Reduce, reuse, recycle has been the motto in the music industry for the last few years, especially now that nostalgia has become a bankable thing 4 1
gatito Posted October 18 Posted October 18 i thot they were actually interpolating something cause that melody sounded way too familiar

Top Dash Posted October 18 Posted October 18 I honestly love this chord progression and love randomly running into songs that use it. It sounds so timeless 7

GentleEarthquake Posted October 18 Posted October 18 i'm tired of this melody, it just sounds so faceless now that everyone has used it

Youngbae Posted October 19 Posted October 19 I'm usually annoyed by blantant copypasting, but in this case, I really don't mind it. You can't really say that it "belongs" to anyone, it's always been there. And it sounds great most of the time, too.
