Leslie Odom (feat. PS 22 Chorus) | The First Noel

An extra holiday mod for your Saturday: we won’t mention where the modulation is, because the musicality of this children’s choir is so exemplary and every second of this performance (2017) should be heard. Many thanks to the students and educators of Staten Island, New York’s PS 22!

Beyonce | Love on Top

Today’s tune features four (yes, count ’em, four) key changes. Starting at about 1:40, Beyonce modulates approximately every 20 seconds on this 2011 track.

Trivia!

The set, backup dancers, tempo, shuffle feel, and choreography are a look-alike of the music video for New Edition’s 1988 hit “If It Isn’t Love,” which is also known for multiple mods during its bridge.
