Needless to say, the song has been stuck in my head all week. Not only do the horns, electric bass, and drums provide a classic all-American sound, they create a strong bassline and a memorable melody.
The use of live instrumentation alone is enough to make Ailee's "U&I" stand out from the robotic synthesized backing tracks used in many K-pop songs (which, don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy). The big band horns and sliding vocal riff in "U&I" are reminiscent of Christina Aguilera in the 2010 film "Burlesque." The song then breaks down into a more modern and funky horn arrangement, somewhere between The Tower of Power Horns and Kanye West's " Touch the Sky," which features an iconic Curtis Mayfield horn sample from the song " Move On Up." "U&I" is one of those songs that hooks you in right away, with an intro that is full of enough bravado to be the grand finale of a Broadway show. This week, I discovered the Ailee song "U&I."Īlthough this unique single was released last summer, it just made it into my iTunes collection.
