When I’m not watching brain rot content, the AI orange cat cooking videos, gaming content, Anime edits, or watching trust fund kids spend their parent’s money on TikTok, I’m on Chellseey’s page watching her break down music like a pro.
Producers have this habit of hiding little gems in their beats, things you won’t catch on the first listen. So when I listen to a song repeatedly and hear something new, it feels like I just discovered an Easter egg they secretly planted.
There’s no doubt that producers are the backbone of a solid track. The fact that artists also have to listen to beats and compose lyrics that perfectly complement them is mind-blowing.
But production? That’s a whole other level of magic. a lot of the work done by the producers often goes unnoticed. Whether it’s a subtle guitar loop tucked beneath layers of instrumentation, a carefully placed ad-lib that adds texture, or even a beat switch that completely transforms a song, these elements shape the way we experience music even if we don’t consciously register them.
That’s where people like Chellseey come in. Watching her break down songs makes you realize just how much thought goes into even the tiniest details. the way she highlights production choices, like how a drum pattern subtly changes to build tension or how a violin loops somewhere in the background, or how a specific chord progression evokes a certain emotion. This gives you a whole new appreciation for the craft, how little elements come together to make everything sound great all thanks to a producer’s attention to detail.
What reeled me in was how she broke down Remember by Asake. Of course, the song itself is great, but her emphasis on every element in the instrumental made me feel like the producer sat me down and personally walked me through every sound layer. It’s one thing to enjoy a song, but it’s another to understand why it sounds the way it does, and Chellseey makes that experience even more immersive.
Every time I watch one of her breakdowns, I find myself going back to the song, listening more closely, and catching details I never noticed before. People like her make me appreciate crafts like this even more, every string loop, drum log, shaker, and chorus sung in unison suddenly feels more intentional, and more alive.
And that’s the beauty of production, there’s always something new waiting to be discovered, a hidden detail just beneath the surface, waiting for the right ears to catch it.
