It’s a rock track where you can savor a striking piano phrase and vocals, featuring Chris Martin’s cool voice.

The grand-piano-style sound source, rich with harmonics, is given a luxurious finish using a unique piece of gear called shimmer reverb, which modulates pitch to forcibly create harmonies.

When people think of Lady Gaga, many might picture a singer who performs electronic pop in flamboyant outfits.

This song, however, seems to sweep away that image entirely.

With a focus on live instruments and vocals that truly carry the track, it’s a very simple and soulful piece compared to her previous works.

Included on the album Joanne.

Mariza, the queen of fado.

She’s a genius artist who represents Portugal.

Above all, her standout trait is her extraordinary expressiveness.

Fado is a genre that places great importance on conveying emotion.

As its queen, her skill is, frankly, on a whole other level.

The piece “Ó gente da minha terra” features piano accompaniment.

The piano doesn’t dominate, but the composition is superb, resulting in a melody that brings out the best of both the vocals and the instrumentation.
