Whenever I come across a song with specifically rapidly switching and ping ponging or warbling right/left effects, I get chills. But it's hard to find exactly what I mean.
The only two songs that I know of that exemplify this are:
- Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
- Slow Me Down by Emmy Rossum
I heard the latter song first and I'll never forget that moment I was sitting in front of the stereo and hit play, not knowing what to expect. I kept repeating the beginning of the song over and over again to hear that effect in the intro, amazed at what my ears were hearing.
There are a few more songs I've listened to that do this, but I've lost them and can't remember what they were called sadly. I've been combing through my music library but haven't found them again.
An example of songs that do NOT fit this criteria are Left and Right by Charlie Puth or Runaway by Kanye West. I don't really care that the lyrics switch ears. It doesn't provide that indescribable experience that the songs I posted above give.
I'm finding that this is such a hard thing to Google. A lot of people link to songs simply with "right left stereo effects", but I'm looking for something more specific as in the above. I'm specifically looking for rapid right left switching effects, and NOT just instruments occasionally played in a different ear.
My genre of choice is pop/EDM and modern pop, but I'm open to others. Thanks all, I'd really appreciate it.
Edit: Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the responses, guys. There are so many songs to wade through. Thanks!
Since you're into EDM and that's most of what Iisten to... I'll add to the list and see if it helps.
Some/most of these are kinda limited in the use of the effect. And maybe my hearing sucks too, even with headphones lol (forgive me if I get it wrong)
