“In essence, then, situation comedies are the story of our psychodynamics and “sociodynamics”, told over and over by formula in slightly different forms. They are examples of the theories we read in the social sciences, but acted out by fictional characters instead of being offered to us in complex theories.”
Chicago collection
THEMpeople
are some of the most
valued and respected
'behind the scenes'
members of the music world.
While they've been doing plenty
for artists like Via Rosa,
Smino, Jean Deaux,
Mick Jenkins, and more,
it's been a while
since the four names
(Michael Anthony, Sean Deaux,
theMIND, LBoogie)
have stepped out
and released
collective material.
That all changed this week.
With two new songs
being pitched as SITCOM,
THEMpeople enlisted vocalists
Via Rosa, theMIND, and Smino
for both tracks,
mirroring the classic soap operas
'Young & Restless'
and 'As Da World Turns'.
I'm not sure if we will get
more episodes down the road
('Days of Our Lives'?
'Bold & the Beautiful'?),
or if this is simply
a split single.
Regardless, these demand
heavy playback value
and will hold us over
until THEMpeople
decide to renew the show
for more episodes
or go in a completely
different direction.
