2. Your main objective is to identify howthe artist(s) is musically influenced by Sinatra (i.e.,musical style, instrumentation, vocal style, performance techniques, studioproduction, etc.) You may look more generally at the artist’s repertoire, butyou must choose 1-2 songs from your artist that exemplifyhow they were influenced by Sinatra and include audio and/or video links aswell as a written explanation in your presentation in order to elucidate yourargument. If you are only analyzing one song, you may not analyze acover of a Sinatra song. If you choose to analyze a song that samples a Sinatrasong, please analyze the relationship between the Sinatra song and its newcontext within the song it is sampled. For example: How does thesample of Sinatra contribute to the new song—in terms of mood, or rhythm, orstyle, etc.? What was the message of Sinatra’s song? How has this messagechanged (if at all) in the context of the new song? Why do you think the song’sproducer(s) selected that particular sample?
