Q: Would you say that this song is in 12/8 or would it be 4/4 but with the piano and drums doing triplets? The vocals and horns feel like 4/4 but you still have the strong groupings of 3 throughout the song with the piano. Just curious what you think. I feel like you hear this type of thing a lot in older R&B tunes. https://youtu.be/I8mUaYOyTec
A: it's just whichever way you feel like writing it. whether you feel like writing the number 3 over and over again, or whether you feel like writing a lot of dots
