What makes a great song? The hook? Moving lyrics? Maybe the keys or horns that you hum through-out the day? The bass? But what if a song doesn’t actually have a bass line? Believe it or not they exist and become hits!

What makes a great song? The hook? Moving lyrics? Maybe the keys or horns that you hum through-out the day? The bass? But what if a song doesn’t actually have a bass line? Believe it or not they exist and become hits! Revisit Prince’s When Doves Cry for example! Mind blowing right? We’ll geek out together and check out other great songs… with no basslines..

Fresh new day!

@NovenaCarmel and yours truly this morning on @mbeKCRW from 9am-Noon!
