Looking at music theory concepts used in this timeless rock classic. I want to especially talk about pedal point, the use of major and minor, use of counterpoint, interludes and how to make simple chord progressions more interesting.

Today I will analyze the song “Hotline Bling“ by Drake in terms of music theory and its harmonic content. The idea is to bring the dry topic of music theory to the real world and help you understand why songs like Hotline Bling work and sound like they do. If you enjoyed this breakdown, please subscribe for more songs and music theory videos. The original sample is from Timmy Thomas’s 1974 recording “Why Can’t We Live Together“ (https://itun.es/de/5lnXe). I also wrote an article about everything I mentioned in the video.
