Here’s a song that I’ve been sitting on for awhile. Mostly because I never got to do the vocals for it that I wanted to. Mine are pitch-locked, layered and artificial, but I was always planning for someone else to step in and re-record them. This is what the vocals sound like without the backing track or the chorus:

You can hear me getting locked into the right notes by computer, and, yeah, I wish I could sing, but I can’t.

The funny thing about pitch shifting vocals is that they sometimes sound like songs of their own, like Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” which is actually a cool song without any backing track:

The debate about pitch-shifted hip-hop being its own genre rages on, meanwhile, I have a whole bunch of demos with my pitch-sifted horribleness sitting around.

So enjoy the demo of The Drama, a song about your friends talking behind your back. This song was written for two of my friends who were the subject of lots of internal debate amongst my friend group. I don’t think either of them heard the song when it was relevant, so this isn’t one of my digs at my friends’ collective subconscious. It’s just The Drama.

You’ve got to know
You’ve got to give
You’ve to think
You’ve got to live.

Oh my god, the drama
