Chainsmokers - Paris
Studio Version - https://youtu.be/PT2_F-1esPk
SNL version - https://youtu.be/mOxRNvSVQ4Y
Very tasty drum riff in the SNL version. I heard it and thought wow this song is better than I thought. Then I heard the studio version and to me it's just not very interesting.
If I took a poll here, my guess is most of you would prefer the SNL version but we are not an ideal representation of the target audience. I wonder if the song would have had anywhere near the same popularity if it was recorded like the live SNL version. Probably not.
Is it a generational thing? Do millennials prefer electronic sounds to acoustic? Or is it just the genre that needs simplicity?
