“”I think that today there isn’t enough music that makes people happy””
Apparently, the scale and scope of this guy’s record collection and/or search for more is limited by his being so uncultured that he doesn’t even know what to look for, unless he’s only referring to what’s been on current and more recent pop music charts. Maybe he and countless others like him should stay out of the music business until they do some research diligent enough that they at least discover some of the music that has come along since “Yankee Doodle Dandy”.
An upbeat and happy tune?
How about Pharrell's "Happy"?
meh
Too dependent upon autotune and sort of overwrought and overproduced. Seems like a nice guy with some talent, too bad. Maybe he can afford to strip it down and start again from basics, if this turns out to be a big hit in the British Isles. Certainly needs to. Needs to lose the canned “look” that the studio is imposing upon him personally, too. Like Grace Jones with an actual penis.
