georgeinar - Metrosexual - Jul 09

Post by georgeinar »

So far it's just an instrumental. Am working on the lyrics. For those uninitiated, "metrosexual" is an urban man of any persuasion who spends way too much time shopping, pedicures, self-worship, gym bunny, facials. You get the picture. So here's the link

This is a quick hot-mix of the basic song w no bells or whistles. So stay tuned for the final um masterpiece?

Thanks Stephen, I'm working on lyrics as well as some cool vocoder effects, which are always tricky to pull off, but this style begs for some melodic voicings.

Hi George

Yes I'm still alive and kicking, and really glad I stopped by to listen to your newest song. It is very punchy and it is interesting to hear how you put your instrumentals together before you add the vocals. Usually your lyrics and singing grab my attention, and I miss some of the details in the background.

Looking forward to hearing your vocals and vocoder effects,

Regards from
Dee

So nice to hear from you. Hope all is well. I feel like I'm cheating by putting up instrumental version, but the summer months are a killer for indoor studio time. Anyway, I do have some lyrical ideas here. I guess people do find it interesting to hear it without the vocals as the music and construction is more aparent.

So you write the music first? this is interesting, I always thought you write the lyrics and then the music. Well it seems ready for the last track, it will be a good work for sure.
