His strongest arrangements?

What comes to mind is
Crystal Ball
In a Large Room (even tho supposedly it was a collab with Wendy & Lisa, its still worth a mention because its just so crazy how good it is… and they did the basic jam, he put everything together, i’m pretty sure)
The Question Of U
Adore


I’d say out of all of the hits, Little Red Corvette is probably the most genius. Lyric wise and arrangement wise. I’ll still include this in playlists that otherwise include deep cuts

Crucial is another one

What do you say?

A lot of people probably have forgotten what it sounds like, but there's some magical stuff going on.

Anotherloverholenyohead & The Line

Those 2 definitely stick out 2 me, the way in the verses his bassline is actually just a harmony of the melody, the fact the verse only has 3 bars and it doesn’t feel off kilter, the way he uses parallel minor 2 change keys in2 the chorus etc etc. The Line, speaks 4 itself lol.

"Computer Blue" is worthy, because the album version it doesn't have a second verse or chorus, but it sounds perfect!
