Sorry mate, I'm a bit slow on the uptake, so perhaps you could clarify: You outline an 'anatomy of a big tune in 2011', which apparently this track embodies. But you can't name any other big tunes that have this anatomy. Is it a riddle?

| #40 / Fri, 27 May 11 08:50 I'm glad I read this thread, otherwise I would never have realised that some songs within genres of music share similar traits of other songs within that same genre. Wondering what do to next now my mind has been so significantly blown.
Job done, as they say!

Although to be fair, these don't really sound anything like "Getting Me Down", which is a lot sparser sounding...sort of like Joy O's new shit.

Jesus wept mate, it's not rocket science. I analysed the tune to break down what makes it so popular (I can't help but do this, cold as it might be.) Anyway, with those three features it has captured, better than any other tune, the 2011 dance music 'zeitgeist'. That's why I can't give you any other decent examples. Blawan absolutely nailed it.

| #49 / Fri, 10 Jun 11 01:11 (Edited: 10 Jun 11 08:13) Pretty cool R&B samplin tune and I have to say the melodyne work it cool, but as BarracaMusic points out its not really doing anything new. Calling this tune of the year seems quite a bit pre-mature to me. Some of you need to get a hold of yourself and lay off the sauce.

I think people are more liking Brandy than the tune itself.
