Fabulous songs with fabulous bridges
October 11, 2022 5:22 AM
Short and simple -
I really, really like The 30th by Billie Eilish, especially the building crescendo of the bridge (at 2:16 of the link) that ends...sort of quietly. Could you please recommend other songs that are either similar in composition or evoke the same feel? Assume no limitations re: artists/genres/language, and no prior knowledge. Thanks.
Chomsky does this quite a bit - they don't go quite so quiet because they are powerpop, but they do the ascending vocals/higher vocal/key change thing into bridges regularly. And tempo changes:
Chomsky - Herrod's Daughter
Chomsky - 15 Minutes to Rock
Frank & Walters - Underground

Two songs from The New Pornographers come to mind: "Adventures in Solitude" and "Sing Me Spanish Techno."
The former is a quiet masterpiece; the latter is a driving rocker. Both feature some great harmonies and the vocal caesura that was evident in The 30th - which is an incredible song I was just introduced to today. Thanks for that!

Secret Sisters - He's Fine
Loud Family - Sister Sleep this song has a lot of parts, so I'm not sure it's a bridge, but around 4:19 the intertwined vocals parts start with a rising main vocal.
