"Congratulations" by Pewdiepie

After T-series passed Pewdiepie in the long lasting battle with a large margin, Pewdiepie teamed up with Roomie and Boyinaband to produce and make a pretty great song.


The structure is like this

1. opener
2. chorus
3. verse
4. chorus
5. 1 1/2 verse
6. Dramatic piano bridge
7. chorus

I love the beginning, as Boyinaband brings in a patriotic-themed trumpet synth.

Then the chorus comes booming with a beat lead in, and it's such a happy tune. You realize that it's just a teaser as it only loops once before it goes into the verse. While pewdiepie sings with a heavy amount of auto-tune, there's a hollow digital analog 90's synth. 

Pewdiepie says "yea you did it. very niice"(reminds me of timothy)

Some parts are awkward with lyric overflows.

For the "for legal reasons that's a joke" part it's decent and flows.

Another series comes as Pewdiepie continues singing.

Then the chorus comes and it only loops once before BANG

"congratuulaaations, congratuulaaations, congratuulaaations"

I'll explain how this part could be better. 

The second verse has a better flow with rhymes. At 2:05 ish, the beat lead in is strong and creative. I love the structure and panning boyinaband puts in it. 

Finally, boyinaband gets his deserved solo and sings about the youtube algorithm. Incredible placement, as we were getting a little bit sick of Pewdiepie's voice. 

The sudden transitions to autotune are supposed to be cool, but I'd prefer a type of fade in during it.

A transition to the bridge is great. Pewdiepie is speaking with his heart. 

Insane transition from silence to the chorus. I'm impressed.

The congratulations parts come, and it's just great.

Then the beginning introduction comes in.

Nice sudden ending


The congratuulaaations part could be improved like this:

PROS:

1. Backup analog synth melody
2. Great production
3. Creative
4. Mood swings
5. the Eb scale is nice

CONS:

1. Repetitive
2. No constructive layering
3. no new synth melodies at one point
4. The second verse is way too long
5. the Congratulations part could've been done better

Lyric(s) of the Post: India, I'm sorry for the memes you're the best!
