Little Music Note

A change of taste this time =)

I’m sure many of you have heard of this popular R&B song. Who knew piano can also sing in R&B?

Yep, keyboard music is the king now! “Take a Bow” was officially released to U.S. top 40 radio on April 15, 2008 and to Itunes on May 6, 2008 where it has proven to be immensely popular both in the United States and internationally. Although I don’t follow this trend very much, this song is surely one of my favourites.

I played this song with a friend who were trying out for a singing competition, and it worked great. Very well written with perfect chord arrangements. We’ve got some very talented song-rewriters out there!

Maybe it’s one of my weird interpretations, but the keyboard background really suited Rhianna’s voice for this song. I’m always fascinated by the song-writer’s inspirations. What makes a particular song “good”? If I may say, it’s almost always the song itself. If a singer has a great voice, but sings a badly written song, what good would that be?

Popularity is everyone’s goal these days, but there’s still plenty out there that values good music as well as good singers. They are a great combination wouldn’t you agree.

Now moving on to the important part. DOWNLOAD HERE for the full music sheet.

PS: Since the “picture” of the song always confuses people that I don’t post the full sheet music, I decided to no longer include the first page of the scores I post here. Just to avoid confusion.

Happy playing =)
