Tonight's Brief But Spectacular looks at Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony.The two musicians spent over a decade making hits for blockbuster artists like Mary J. Blige, Bruno Mars, and Rihanna.But they yearned to be more than just hired guns for big-name acts.So, they started their own group, Louis York.The most common thing that I, personally, Chuck Harmony, have heard from a music exec, executive is that I was too musical.Dumb your stuff down so that the masses can digest it.And, as a creative, that's jail to me.Everyone we dreamed of working with as songwriter and producer, we have had the honor of writing very big records for.Michael, Janet, Whitney, Bruno, Celine, Rihanna. You get known for this one big thing you did.It's like, Chuck, give me another Russian Roulette or Claude, give me another Party in the USA.And if you're always growing and wanting to learn, then that becomes your prison.It literally drove us crazy, so, to the point we were going to quit our passion because of that.I was gonna go to seminary. He was gonna go to...Get a master's degree in world religion. Yes.We had this conversation about the music business, and what was on the radio and what was missing, big voices,original voices, horn breakdowns, live strings, bridges and modulations, and all these things that make music exciting and passionate.What can two black men get together and say that is not being said in pop culture?
今晚《简短而精彩》的主角是克劳德・凯利和查克・哈默尼。这2位音乐家在过去10年中为很多艺术家制作了一炮而红的歌曲。这些艺术家包括但不限于玛丽・布莱姬、布鲁诺・马尔斯、蕾哈娜。但他们二人渴求的不只是为大名鼎鼎的作品写歌。他们也创办了自己的团体“路易纽约”。我经常听到有音乐制作人说我太有音乐天赋了。要将自己的东西变成下里巴人，这样大众才能消化吸收。对于富有创造性的我来说，这如同牢笼。我们曾梦想过很多人合作，为他们写歌，做他们的制作人，而且最后我们也真的有此殊荣为他们写专辑。迈克尔，珍妮特，惠特尼，布鲁诺，席琳，蕾哈娜，你是从为蕾哈娜写专辑就为世人所知的。他们会这样：查克，给我一个以俄罗斯轮盘赌为风格的歌，或者查克，给我写一首有关美国派对的歌。如果一个人想一直成长并有所学，这就会成为你的牢笼。这样的生活让我发狂，最后达到一种我们必须要因此丢下激情所在的程度。我要去神学院，而他要去……在世界宗教领域获得学士学位。是的。我们谈过音乐界的事儿，现在广播上都在放什么，少了点什么，有哪些大牌的声音，有哪些原声、鼓点分解、现场片段、搭桥衔接和调整，这些都让音乐变得更让人激动、更有激情。两个黑人聚在一起，就流行文化能聊些什么呢？
