In this Technique Spotlight we’re focusing on The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s recent #1 hit, Save Your Tears (Remix), and spotlighting three techniques that take its impact to the next level:
The song’s “D” (Departure) section technique, which uses a breakdown arrangement and a combination of fresh and familiar qualities to maximize its effectiveness.
The call & response hook technique, which provides a cohesive thread throughout the song to heighten memorability.
And the “ride out” outro technique, which rides the listener out on an excited high while spotlighting key hooks as the song comes to a conclusion.
