props to the sound engineer for keeping the album's aesthetics
But where is his voice?
real
@@DubsMood Yeah vocals are way too far back. I think they're definitely built to SIT in the mix and not be front and center like most modern pop but the live sound makes it sit too far back to the point where you are kind of straining to hear anything he says.
Idk this sounds pretty different from the studio version
@@nevadanate4957 that may have something to do with the fact that it's live. 😂 Lol sorry for the sass. I just really like this version
Can't believe this dude is on Jimmy Kimmel. Truly a special album.
It's not too surprising considering the mega stars he's worked with. He produced the kids are growing up by Kid Laroi recently too
He was on jimmy Fallon 2 years ago.
Dijon was on Fallon. This is mikes solo debut
@@mcburneyb okay, but on jimmy Fallon he was playing a song NAMED AFTER HIM, that he COWROTE, and SANG bgv for. That's just as special. We all can see that this is his solo debut, but the initial comment doesn't mention whether it's a solo debut or not. Just letting the op know that he was on jimmy Fallon just in case he missed it.
@@RaeUltra but he was there with dijon, this is something he accomplished due to his own career
I don’t understand how live can be 10x better than the studio. That little scream he does in the second chorus might be the coolest thing I’ve ever heard.
Trueee broo
If you can’t figure out why live *can be* better…
I suggest you listen to less studio production and see more kinds of musicians perform live.
Look up Deep Purple Made in Japan
I love this video!
It‘s crazy how the sounds on this album are so organic and at some points irreproducible, that every single performance will probably sound totally different
lol like when he starts vacuuming? I think he’s trolling us
that's the goal baby!!!!
And thats how you tell the music is played with expression, we never feel the same way either:)
it’s intentional. There are lives where it sounds the same
It's definitely reproducible, he's often running a very simple pedal board. The main thing that accomplishes the sound is running the guitar through an old 4-track mixer. I love his sound but there isn't some otherworldly 'organic' source - just some really smart equipment choices! :)
He is gonna be massive. Fr so privileged to be here early on
i dont wanna brag, but i wanna brag: i know him since 2021 :D
Cringe
2016 babyyy 😊
he's playing kimmel this isn't "early on" lol
lol bros been around for a minute
Album of the year
Decade*
AGREED
amen brother
Hands down
easily
I love his aesthetics of a garden caretaker on a rainy afternoon at the farm
Someone else called it “sexy homeless man”
Kurt Cobain vibes fr💅
“gas station hot”
reminds me of that one dude in stardew valley tbh
This version needs to be on spotify
Every live version he’s made is a little different and their all dope
I second that.
Was rlly hoping someone had put this on Spotify already
I've had this album on repeat for a month. I haven't felt this type of immediate love and adoration for an artist since Bon Iver release, "For Emma, Forever Ago".
Bon Jovi slaps though
@@stalwartzero7001 true story
Happy you feel this way, Mkgee was actually on tour with bon over when Dijon was touring with them, he’s part of the band
There is a serious sonic parallel to Bon Iver. Yeah. Thank you yes
same but w blond
The world is looking at a superstar in the making
Insane how much better this version is than the album cut
It’s a different vibe fs
top 10 most nonchalant guys ever. he does not look fazed he’s on live television
He's the batman of music
Welcome back 80's new wave, we've missed you...
Hope you stay for a while.
New wave? This is more like 80’s Michael Bolton if he tried too hard to be experimental.
@@0228christianthere's elements of it...
I guess your description fits better, but it's kinda hard to categorize the 80's, they were strange to say the least (in the best way possible).
This does remind me of Stings solo work a lot.
@@0228christian laughs in Pat Metheny Group
More like Peter Cetera with 80s synth fusion pop mixed in.
@@HootHinge Exactly)
The Batman of Music
awesome comment man its almost like ive seen it somewhere else
@@Brettg491Two Star and the Comment Police
It bears repeating
@@cobykap. please make sure you attain that degree because your music career is as dead as oj
@@Brettg491 oh he MAD mad
The saviour of music is that you?
the guitar solo is the absolute cleanest glassiest guitar sound i've ever heard. sounds like an old rockman headphone amp from back in the day.
Dude on clarinet slays. One of the better late night performances ever probably
That's a soprano sax as a heads up
@@JacobHalfman - its Sam Gendel on sax, right? Dude has worked with Blake Mills & Joachim Cooder previously.
It was squidward, dawg.
Pretty good performance, that recent Kim Gordon one was better
yeah sam gendel is top tier - so glad to see these two collaborating
mk.gee mk.gee mk.gee 🎶🎶🎶
laundry day reference?
@@_enad_ yes 🫡
@@_enad_thats how i got into him😭😭
Daundry Lay
@@rickyortago8335same here, I saw laundry day’s IG reel and I was addicted to the voice
This gives me hope for the future of popular music.
We need this version on streaming platforms NOW
BEGGING!!!!!
❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
one of the best performances on Jimmy Kimmel
Been following since 2020 on spotify, i feel like a proud dad.
Cringe
@@okcool2531 whats cringe is you taking the time to reply to this comment
^cringe
ME TOO
The dude inventing new music... Madness. Congrats Mk.gee. love the album.
Nah
Not inventing new music. Bon Iver meets Phil Collins. That’s not to say he doesn’t make amazing music, he really does, and his guitar tone and playing are great.
inventing lol
@@zechs5079 He is def creating new sounds that guitars haven't made before. Now, is that inventing or experimenting? Or both? Who cares. People are too quick to hold new artists back and try to compare 'similar sounds' to older artists. At the end of the day, music today is alive because of Mk.gee
the Sting of 2024
Whatever it is he’s forcing that guitar to do -I’m into it.
he deserves every ounce of love and support so i'm stoked to see him on kimmel
Met this guy outside of a Dijon show a few years ago
his music will continue to move mountains in music to come.
I’m in love with every sound that comes out of his imagination
Never heard of this guy but I am instantly all in. Also is that freakin Sam Gendel????? BONUS POINTS
Yelled when Sam Gendel came into view!!! What a great performance all around but hella bonus points indeed 🤠
I thought I recognized him!! 2019 me geeking out rn
Woah this is crazy
This man is an absolute gem of a find.
we are not fully ready for the impact this album is going to have on music.
that's what i'm saying!
I am
Oh please lol
😂
everything you're hearing here was pioneered almost a decade ago lmao both the self titled bon iver album and 22 a million sound exactly like this
Found out about Mk.gee literally 2 days ago and so awesome to see him coming up. Such a cool vibe.
That ending was phenomenal
That performance transported me to some mystical, magical place I've never been to before. Wow!
*THIS IS THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD*
*IM NOT JOKING*
I agree 😅
You need to get out more....
I hate that this sounds better then the album version...
Wayyy better. So cool
That’s how you know it’s the real deal when live surpasses anything on an album. Legend status reached
Feels raw and real. Love this
The sax and the guitar bring back the fondest memories of Joni with Wayne Shorter. No matter the times, someone out there is always making great music. To me, at least, that is a testament to our way of life. Thank you.
I was getting Hejira vibes off the sax/guitar
haven't like an artist for probably 6 years now, can't stop listening to mk.gee
the best
He’s really come a long way 🥹
found the "knew him before everyone else here" comment
every live performance of this song just keeps getting better
My guy made it ! Love me some Mk.gee and I love this album so much, the atmosphere of his music is literal magic.. him and Dijon are the coolest
How many times have you watched this ? Me …. Yes
What a gem. And I thought modern music was dead.. Thank you for changing my mind.
I've been a fan since his first album and always wanted him to have more recognition. Now, he's rising and I'll keep supporting his art. Watching him evolve has been a blessing.
I'm in the same boat. I saw him live twice some years back. My introduction to him was on stage. I was impressed. His style was reminiscent of 70s and 80s but it's changed and has a very unique sound now. While I admittedly like the old sound, the new sound is something I'm adapting to, but I do admire the band trying something different.
@@chromatinkiss Oh lucky you, I've never seen him live, it's my dream tho but ... I'm not from the US. Hopefully I will one day soon. I'd love him to play songs from every album cuz I'm truly a fan of all of his work :)
been a fan for years and it’s so surreal to see how far he’s come, very very deserved. truly feels like mk.gee is a breath of fresh air in the current music scene and that’s he’s cultivating a sound totally his own. super proud of him and i can only hope he gains more recognition.
@@BeastCars18 i know all these people… who’s making music like this in recent years tho. either way mike doesn’t shy away from who his influences are and i acknowledge them as a music fan as well
@@angel-dx1mv i wish u the best in life, i love u
The best to ever do it.
Gentle distorted vibes. Love it man love it.
Major Bon Iver vibes at the end. Amazing album and song.
Thanks Jimmy Kimmel for having him on your show.. I have not stopped listening to this boy sing since 🩷
Sounds like 80’ music 🎵 👍😍
Like Prince meets Justin Beiber’s voice 🥰
It’s crazy that a guy took the most generic music aesthetic of that decade and made it incredible
@@Syngekhoomei Incredible?
Love how he backs out of the light at the end into the darkness
MK. GEE MY GOAT!!!! 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Love this. Truly something different. Mystical to me. The ending truly emotional. Thanks for having him🙏
Yeah, I am convinced, this guy is a legend. Instant fan.
We making it out the batcave with this one
so emotional. there are not many artist out there that speaks directly with my heart like he does
Agreed
Seeing how far this dude has come from the days of a "Museum of Contradiction" and earlier singles is truly a privilege. I knew then and now the whole world knows that he is truly special.
This guy is for me one of the premier souls of the infinite ages of the universe.
Thank you Jimmy for uploading this.. many of us including myself was waiting for this upload. ✌️😎
God damn! So proud he's getting some real eyes on him! Just found about him in march. Been obsessed
saw him open for wallows in 2019 so epic to see him here now - mkgee is just so frickin awesome!!
This guy needs a tiny desk
He probably already has a regular sized desk for his music gear. I don’t think a tiny one would be any good.
This is why we can’t have nice things in the internet shrek
I like the singer a lot , for anyone that’s curious the sax player Sam Gendel is an amazing artist as well
His music is so raw I love it
His voice is so raw and moving.
mk.gee, dijon, matt champion, and their sound of music at large is so so heavily inspiring. they are a new movement. i can't get enough of it
greatest artist of our generation
Bringing chorus back
That JC120 life
@@jackiedaytona7681JC40 for me Mr. Daytona I'm not ready to have a full on JC120 staring at me while I sleep. Can I get an old fashioned sir?
so amazing to watch mike grow over the years… the confidence you see today is truly remarkable. we love u mike!
YESSSSSSS!!! so proud of this guy
Been a fan for a long while now, so proud to see this man up here
Thank god for this man. People need to understand how truly incredible this sound is.
That outro jam was one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard.. it’s not even close
This is much needed. Thank you.
absolutley obsessed with this song
Listening to him, I feel the way I felt first time I listened to artists like Bon Iver, The Weeknd, and The 1975.
Let’s GOOO a year ago my boy was underground
Mk.gee came from the future to get us up to speed
Let's go mk.gee!!!!!! That was amazing
His name made me think of that book called Maniac Magee I read when I was a kid in school.
Insane… not even 24 hours in and I am inspired and in awe.
So good and so cool walking in from the shadows and backing out at the end. What a performance. This guy better be an astronaut because he is heading for the stars!
Love how he just vanishes into the smoke and shadows in the end :D incredible performance
Mk.Gee forever baby, forever 🌹
Heck yes. I love this tone. So happy to see Mk.Gee breaking through.
I always think the other musicians - especially when they are so few - should be credited too. Lovely to see the productive (but still with great quality) Sam Gendel also popping up here! Both versatile and with an unmistakable sound. Check him out if you don't know ~
最後の去り方、マジでカッコ良すぎるだろ
the ultimate vibe
Love this album
I just recently "discovered" Mk.gee on a short video in my recommendations, now he is popping up all over. Good on him!
😊
this feels like Prince's guitar style over a Springsteen song with Kenny G soprano sax? and some 90s alt rock vocals? such an amazing combo
Here because I came across this video. Immediately I'm like I'm loving this song. Reminds me of 80s .
Im so happy for himmmmmmmm
aaaa ive always loved are u looking up! been waiting for this moment!! he deserves all the recognition :>
im amazed on every level
Can’t wait to see him in month
🔥🔥🔥 i knew it would happen! cant wait til he blow everywhere one of the best artists ive heard in a loooooong time been listening for a while its your time Gee 💯 2024 MUSIC!!!
Literally was just listening to the official live version of this when this came up in my recommendations. Really awesome stuff!
I found this guy shuffling through youtube's radio giving me random instrumentals. I Iiked a particular song, went on with my life. Only a couple months later, his album drops. Of course, only knowing one song (and it being just instruments) I thought "why am I being suggested this album from an artist I don't know?"
And then I pressed play.
I'm bummed I forgot to check for a vinyl release as this is my FAVORITE album release in a very very long time. Love it!
just discovered the song today on Spotify, in love.
