  • The Coldplay Effect

    The Coldplay Effect

    Have you figured out the Coldplay Effect yet? Evie released a video on Instagram that got a lot of people buzzing about music theory. One fan (3linx) was able to explain it very well in music theory terms.

     

    If you are a music teacher or songwriter you’ll want to take note of this simple tool for making your piano accompaniment sound more like the band Coldplay. Evie Clair began to discover this pattern when as a contestant on Season 12 of America’s Got Talent, she asked her accompanist if he could make her song sound more like Coldplay. He immediately inverted the chords to accommodate her and she realized she needed to know the secret behind that amazing trick. She joined Po-Shen Loh, a world renowned math professor, in New York City at the famous Cutting Room studio to investigate this idea more.

     

    In their downtime a cell phone camera captures Evie and Po trying out the Coldplay effect on the popular song Shallow by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. She is impressed with Po’s beautiful singing voice since he claims to have no musical talent.

     

     

    Evie documented her amazing trip to NYC in a fun video blog featuring her friend from a show she headlined in Reno and her mom’s only cousin who both live in New York City.

     

     

    Pictures from Evie’s adventures in New York City with Po-Shen Loh and the Rubinstein team. Po’s team sent Evie and her mom to see the Cher Show on broadway while they were in town. Cher’s life story in the music industry was paradigm shifting for a young, rising talent like Evie Clair.

     

  • Auld Lang Syne

    Simon Cowell describes Evie Clair’s voice as stunning and beautiful. She captured the hearts of America as a finalist on America’s Got Talent and she shares her version of the classic “Auld Lang Syne” with the world this new year to remember her father and all those we have lost.

    The song Auld Lang Syne translates to mean for old time’s sake and has been adopted in English speaking countries after becoming part of the Scottish New Year’s Celebration. The words are attributed to Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788 but may have existed in some form before that dating back to 1638. The melody is believed to be attributed to the English composer William Sheild in 1782.

    Auld Lang Syne warmed our hearts in the closing scene of the classic Christmas film It’s a Wonderful Life and Guy Lombardo’s band helped make it a New Year’s Eve tradition as they played it each December 31st on the radio and later television programs for over 30 years.

    Though it may have originally been a Scottish drinking song, Evie performs it not to promote alcohol consumption but to urge us all to look back and enjoy memories with those we love. She has a special gratitude for her father and the fun they had together and the memories she will always have. She believes old acquaintance’ shouldn’t be forgot’ and hopes we’ll all take time this holiday season to remember them.

    Auld Lang Syne performed by Evie Clair was her first platinum single.
