Created this fall, the Critical Music Review Club allows students to immerse themselves in the world of music production.
What makes a song good?
Though multidimensional by nature, this question is debated every X-block by the Critical Music Review Club. The new club focuses on looking into several aspects of songs and albums, grading them and writing thorough reviews.
Club leaders and seniors Sheejin Choi, Rohan Sekhar and Leo Wu-Hacohen are ardent music lovers. They founded the club this fall to feed their musical passion.
Wu-Hacohen said they started the club to take their love of music to the next level.
\u201cI think all of us, we\u2019ve all been avid music listeners for our whole life and talked about it all the time,\u201d Wu-Hacohen said. \u201cWe\u2019ve always seen people review music and we\u2019re just like we can do that too.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019ve always seen other people review music, and we thought, we can definitely do that too,\u201d Wu-Hacohen said.
During a typical meeting, the group pitches ideas, listens to their chosen albums and then begins the reviewing process.
According to Sekhar, uncovering the hidden layers of a song or album leads to a deeper understanding of the artist\u2019s intention.
\u201cLike any other form of artistic expression, with music there\u2019s always an inexplicit layer from the artist that\u2019s intended to be consumed,\u201d Sekhar said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to explore that and convey it to people who may not have discovered it already.\u201d
The club also examines other elements of songs and albums. To Sekhar, production, lyricism, instrumentation and rhythm are most important.
When reviewing, the club members concentrate on every note, beat and lyric to capture the music\u2019s essence entirely. Choi, a cellist, has experience with this firsthand.
\u201cAs an artist, I know how much expression goes into art,\u201d Choi said. \u201cA lot of musicians add tiny, specific details and, while you might catch them listening casually, investing time to listen to, dissect and review the music will help you understand them more completely.\u201d
Once a review is finalized, a sense of accomplishment washes over the reviewer and all club members. Choi said that the outcome of their lengthy review process is what makes it all worth it.
\u201cMy favorite part has been putting out an actual, tangible product,\u201d Choi said. \u201cThere\u2019s something really rewarding and satisfying about that.\u201d
Wu-Hacohen and the club leaders hope to develop as a music listeners, writers, critical thinkers and most importantly demonstrate the power of music to all of the high school.
\u201cWe\u2019re a group of people who love music,\u201d Wu-Hacohen said, \u201cWe just want to share our love for music with everyone out there.\u201d
