She exemplifies transition with the use of a beat switch and the sudden inclusion of guitar solos.  ]]> 2017-12-11 03:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887618 jmacfarlane71 https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887619 Adele found an astronomical amount of success thanks to her impressively dramatic voice. Millions of fans around the world felt the instant sense of loss and pain through her transparent use of emotion and vocal range. ]]> 2017-12-11 03:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887619 jmacfarlane71 https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887620 "The artists creating said pieces are walking, breathing embodiments of their own beliefs and emotions. The art is just an extension or a fragment of those ideals, i.e. 'transmission.' "]]> 2017-12-11 03:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887620 jmacfarlane71 https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887621 “The message in the music alone. And the music pulling at you, hysterically claiming you” (Ratliff 98).]]> 2017-12-11 03:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887621 jmacfarlane71 https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887622 The two terms we wanted to introduce are transparency and transition. Three of the songs are examples of transparency, while the other two being examples of transition. The first three include; "Man In The Mirror" , "Through The Wire" and "When We Were Young." All three are based off their respective artist's own personal truths. Whether it's Michael Jackson addressing identity and racial issues that dogged him throughout his entire life or Adele singing about her past relationships or Kanye sharing his literal thoughts just hours after a near-death experience. These artists take their vulnerability and transmit them through their preferred materials. The idea of "transmission" and it's similarity with our concepts is what gives it credence. Just a thought worth mentioning. Anyhow, the final two songs are "Bet" and the classic "Bohemian Rhapsody." The reasoning behind "Bet" is listed underneath this post and Queen's most iconic song exemplifies transition through the opera-esque  movements and wide range of sounds and momentums. ]]> 2017-12-11 03:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jmacfarlane71/ax9fivd6ai6s/wish/214887622
