Review readers are looking for professional insight, along with some clever writing and an occasional bon mot, a clever approach or memorable moment in the review. Reviews are written in a much more relaxed style than an academic essay. They invite casual re-reads and quick conclusions. Use hyperlinks liberally. Be persuasive and brief. State your case. Then, move on. Make sure to link to the song.If you need more information: UC Santa Barbara Journalism DepartmentPitchfork sponsors a lot of reviewsSample reviews:Hagerty-Toth Band, Qalgebra, April 2015Bobo Yé Yé, Wêrê Wêrê Magne Dec 2016————————————————————–In addition, write a 50 words respond to the following student post:Paul Gordon I chose a song , Established and familiar- a pop song unlike none other before or after it.The 1966 classic “Eleanor Rigby” by the Beatles .I myself I’m not a big follower of the Beatles but I do like them and appreciate the music as it has merit and this song certainly provides robust material for analysis.It’s interesting that none of the Beatles themselves played instruments on it however they were background vocals provided by Lennon and Harrison , lead vocal sung by Paul McCartney.The song is a pop song is it self which has the distinction i’ve been number one in the United Kingdom on the pop charts and crack in the top 20 in the United States.Learning a lot about harmony this semester in my independent research and throughout the course materials I learned that the song is a great example of mould mixture also known as natural minor or Dorian mode, set in E minor … The song itself opens with C-major vocal harmony and then shifts to E minor .The song is prominently featuring various string instruments only, not guitar which is prominently known as a standout song as a pop song that went to number one as a pop song without having traditional instruments played on a pop song especially in 1966 when it was released.The song employs classical string and symbol with violins, violas and cellos.The score was composed by Beatles producer George Martin.For recording microphones were placed in close proximity to the instruments to produce more of a natural and Raw sound.The song is mixed with stereo recording which has McArtneys voice on the ray channel during the verses and there is also a mono version that sounds slightly different.The song is released as a double A-side release with yellow submarine and is featured on the so important 1966 album “Revolver” this song is also shorts being only two minutes and eight seconds long and the theme of the song is a narrative of loneliness and focuses on neglected concern of the elderly.The song is a petition or song although Paul McCartney states that names of certain things in a song were inspired by bits and pieces of things and people he knew in real life however the song itself is not autobiographical and factitial..The unconventional pop song not being rock or what other common songs the Beatles were making is proof of the groups merit and the popularity and appeal of the Beatles far beyond the traditional rock or pop audience .
