Lizzo - About Damn Time - mikej - 30-04-2023
Ooh, didn't know about the slap bass embargo. Although thinking about it I suppose it could have been imposed for safety reasons back in 1983, after Louis Johnson broke a string in Tokyo playing live with George Duke...
Anyway, yeah the low end in this track is amazing. Mixed by Manny Marroquin. It almost sounds like a different track on a system that's lacking in the bass department. On a system with no bass the vocal kind of sounds perhaps a touch too forward I feel - no bad thing for pop. On a system with plenty of bass (and sub bass) it really sounds incredible. I think there must be some added sub tones in the mix too? The Purple Disco remix is also killer.
Cheers!

.I also forgot to mention the great acting during the intro of the video. Superb stuff. Rivals my favourites from the 80's!

It is a great video. Love it when the illuminated floor tiles appear in the corridor!
