Now that you have researched and written about your second artist as well as discovered a major influence on their music, it is time to listen and analyze how the artists are similar.

Assuming you are very familiar with your primary artist, you should spend some time listening to their influence that you chose.

Listen to a playlist of the artist who influenced your second artist. Ask yourself the following questions as you listen:

• How are they similar / different?

• How are these two artists’ music related? How are they similar / different?

• Do they sing/rap about the same things in the same way?

• What distinctions can you make about each artist’s singing style? What defines it? What part of their style comes from the genre vs. their own style?

• Do their songs have the same feeling or mood?

• Do they use the same style of beats?

• Do they use the same instruments?

• Are they the same genre?

• Do they use similar chord progressions?

Write a paragraph comparing the two artists, their styles, song subjects, mood, instrumentation, genre, harmonic song structure (chord progressions), etc.
Be sure to use the titles of the songs that you are comparing.

When you are done, please attach a screenshot of your work onto this assignment.
