Jon Magnusson about Nakedverse (Deggsy) - Bands About Bands S02:E02

Busy as I have been lately with my own music and family life I had to scale down a bit on my consumption of others music and also writing about others music.

But since I'm now officially on parental leave and start to get the rest of my work a bit more organized I finally have time to indulge in all the incredible songs that are made by fellow Steemians.

One of the most active users in the Steemit community is @nakedverse and even though I have glanced at some of his music I haven't really had time to really dig in to his library. The fact that he does a lot of collaborations with very different kinds of artist and exploring very different genres makes it even more exciting.

So when I asked him if I could write about his music I also asked him to send me the four songs he best thought represented him as a musician. And so I'm going to write a bit about all four songs.

Conflux - Happy

DSound

A collaboration with Alison under the name Conflux. Catchy melody and a pop rock arrangement with atmospheric guitars and a steady drum beats really works well with the lyrics. And some surprising chord progressions make this song stand out from other songs in this genre.

Deggsy & GJART - Nightbirds

DSound

Ok. I have to admit, as a fan and friend of @GJART I am biased, but it doesn't stop me from say that this is an awesome track. Totally different from the pop rock feel of Happy, this collab blends classic synth pop with modern electronica and I can't really decide if it makes me wanna dance or lay down on a beach and relax.

Deggsy & The Turtle Project - Everything I'll Ever Need

DSound

Ok, @theturtleproject is also a good friend of mine and I love his melancholic bittersweet indie pop so this is a match made in heaven. More alike the pop rock arrangement again, but with some indie edge and nice synths to it. And a damn catchy chorus. Works really well with the unique touch of mr TurtleProject's vocals.

Deggsy & Kryptoe - Madego

DSound

@Kryptoe is also a new friend of mine who I got to know thanks to Steemit at about the same time as Deggsy. I actually don't know how to pin point this song, but some kind of indie pop/r'n'b and synth pop in a really nice combination. The foundation is once again the great production of Deggsy and Kryptoe has a bouncy way of singing that works really well with the beat.

Conclusion

After giving Deggsy'ss music a proper listen I have to say he is a really talented songwriter. He makes songs in all kinds of genres and with different kinds of artist and that's actually exactly the way I wanna make music as well. He does all music with virtual instruments and make them sound as real as you can without real instruments. This is also the only downside with his music, how good you are using virtual instruments, when it comes music based on guitar, acoustic drums etc, getting that real genuine sound of human played instrument is impossible. So what I would love is to hear a production from him with "real" instruments rather than virtual, well maybe I see room for a collaboration with him myself.

So go check all of his music out and follow him on DSound to enjoy some real variety and talent.
