WEEK 9 Superstition

 The song this week is Superstition by Stevie Wonder. I really like this song I definitely didn't know it before we listened to it in class.  This one was really interesting and caught my attention. I loved the video we watched in class where it showed him recording the song.  I found it interesting that he played so many instruments while recording Superstition. Using the technique of overdubbing is so cool in a song like this. I love the first of this song it is probably my favorite part! When it starts out with the drums and then the clavinet comes in and adds that funky tone/vibe to the song. I had no idea what a clavinet was before I listened to this song it is like a keyboard, but with more going on! I love what that instrument does for this song; it really adds funky groove thats different than most song I listen to. After doing some reading on the song and Stevie I learned he often used it.  I had to look up what this song was genre wise and it said soul which I can definitely see. I think the beat of this song is clear and strong which make it easy to keep with. It makes me bop my head for sure! I loved this song and think is has been one of the my favorites to learn about and just super interesting song as well as performer.
