Today new songs appear like mushrooms after rain. But in the best case, one out of a hundred songs will enter the chart lists. How does this happen? Why are we ready to listen to some tracks all the time, while others are turned off immediately after the first chords?
How do you get a 100% hit?
Composers, poets, producers use different techniques with the help of which you can make a national hit from an uncomplicated poem. Firstly, work is definitely underway on the image and image of the performer. Second, there are some tricks that apply to the song itself. She must:
have a set of certain repeating structural elements;
A famous song should also have a vivid, effective visual embodiment - a clip, modern arrangement and sound design.
Psychologists have proven that our brains are highly susceptible to stimuli such as music. We are good at remembering simple melodies with repetitive moments. As soon as we hear this or that song on the radio or in a public place, the mechanism of its popularization is immediately triggered: we involuntarily perceive sounds and even begin to sing along. Many compositions become hits if they touch certain strings of our soul, evoke a pleasant associative array or any memories.
Beloved songs go to the people
As soon as the songs become hits, people themselves begin to perform them and order them for any celebration. Perhaps each of us will immediately name at least 5 folk hits that have firmly entered our lives (completely regardless of musical preferences).
Musical accompaniment of any holiday is a responsible task for the organizer. It must be borne in mind that people of different ages may be present at the holiday, therefore the playlist often includes popular compositions of past years, but in modern processing. Musical hits are a safe bet. Their sound will be even better if the songs are performed live.
What is a cover band?
This is a musical group that does not perform their own compositions, but re-sing the hits of famous groups and performers, and they do it in a special, individual style. What to expect from a cover band at an event? Only good. The guys will make the holiday more cheerful and "lively", atmospheric and emotional.
Pros of a cover band
The band's vocalists always sing live, while guitarists, keyboardists and drummers play real instruments. Light excitement and delight with "real" sounds are guaranteed for the guests.
The cost of the performance of the musical group is quite affordable. Many of them employ professional musicians who, for various reasons, have not yet reached the heights of show business. The way out for them is to sing and play in small groups for little money.
