A Little Kanye
After I put up "Every Hour," a cut from the new album Jesus is King from Kanye West, a commentator asks "what is Kanye actually doing on that song?" which was gospel choir plus piano. Here is a live performance of another song from the album, "Closed on Sunday" which gives a pretty good idea of how this music is working. Kanye is singing and there are three percussionists, three keyboard players, six brass players and a whole bunch of other folks singing backup.
