For as popular and successful Snarky Puppy is I still think they are underrated and underappreciated. Every thing they do is a matter class in performance, composition, arranging, musicianship, etc. It's clear that all of the collaborations bring out the best of the guest performers. I find something new in each performance with every listen.

You pronounced her name correctly the first time: ''Mmm-voola''. She's a British vocalist, married a Zambian guy, and depending on which country in Africa you're in i.e South Africa, their surname would mean ''Rain'' in Xhosa. It's an amazing song.

That's some dominant chord at 2:13. Very spicy and suuuuuuuper tense. Haven't analyzed it yet, but I'm definitely getting the 13 in there. Not sure if it's the natural or flat 13 though. And I think... a b9, which is my favourite upper extension for dominant chords. But there's something about Mvula's voice. It's so raw, tender and sad. You said it in the end - sorrowful.

If you want to listen to some great Snarky-inluenced music you really should check Dynamo. It comes from the same area as Snarky and the band leader Ryan Connors can even be seen in the audience on some Snarky videos. Their song Carried Away from their latest album Celina (2017) is maybe the best starting point. There's a live studio perfomance of Carried Away in the style of Snarky in KZitem. I'd describe their music Snarky Puppy with vocals. Try it, I'm sure you will love it!

Really man... If a vocal performance is what you're looking for... Please do a reaction to Adele singing "To Be Loved" on her couch to a backing comp track. It is raw, amazing, and unreal that she can sit down like she's doing and just sing out like she does. It is something that is unheard of with clarity and power. And the lyrics are so powerful that she'll refuse to sing it in public. I've seen a number of reactions to it and was wanting your twist on it. Since you don't pause the video and you actually show emotional linkeage to what you're listening to.

You remark that this music is very visual. Snarky is magnificent. Awesome musicianship and this one was deeply moving. But since you love well done and sometimes complicated music. Perhaps music from the 70s or 80s in not your bag. But Genesis makes very well constructed and very visual music. They paint wonderful soundscapes, especially in their 'prog' years. Please research some of their music to present and analysis. It is often jazzy, but very symphonic and often majestic. Great stuff.
