This project feels like a step towards finding my true identity as an artist, I really hope everyone who listens enjoys it as much as I did making it. Here’s a little track by track breakdown if you want to know some of the process :)
Finally Fated ft NouveauDada (prod. Loosh)- I wanted a powerful opener for this album, something that ropes the listener in. You know in english class in high school when they're like "first sentence needs to hook the reader" that's what i was going for. When loosh sent me this beat i knew this HAD to be the intro, esp with the beat switch in the middle of the track, that was the one. NouveauDada did a great job on the second part, the verse was originally from a different song but i listened to the beat and immediately heard that verse on this new beat.
Skyler White (prod. 10mente) - this is probably my favorite track on the project, maybe I should've waited until later in the project to introduce it but whatever i wanted people to hear it ASAP. From the beat to the delivery to the lyrics i was really happy with this one, i feel like it introduces a major sonic theme in the project the more drowned out laid back songs vs the harder hitting songs. That juxtaposition is all over this project.
Hedonist (prod. Loosh) - Another certified fated nation classic. I don't really have much to say about this one i think it speaks for itself, i love the chords on this and the general vibe of the song.
Naturally Beautiful ft. Nexcro (prod. me) - This was the first beat I made in fl haha it's definitely simple but i like the simplicity. the song is abt my gf so i think the gentler production really matches the lyrics. Nexcro came on and did a great verse as per usual.
Diebyfire (prod. 10mente) - after the mellowed out production of the last song i wanted something that really jumped out at you. 10mente did this one and killed it. I love the GTA death sound as the main sample it adds that element of nostalgia. This is definitely the most "experimental" song on the project i think it could be a hit or miss for some people but i love it and i think it adds an extra #level to the music as a whole.
Perform2die (prod. me) - I really love this beat, the beat was built off a windows 94 start up sound sample and i just went from there. I swear im not obsessed with death haha i just think it was cool to go from something like diebyfire to a calmer song (especially before the next song), and i guess you can find some sort of overlap with the themes. anyways i really love this song
America's Most Fated ft NouveauDada (prod. me) - I wanted this to be a jumpscare after the last song and i think it does really well at that. I made the synth from an image using logics image to synth thing idk what its called. I also took the "MUSIC" tag from this video ranking the top 10 bluetooth startup sounds i thought it was rlly funny. This is just supposed to be a crazy ass song where u don't rlly know what's going on
9 (prod. parallel6) - This was the last song i recorded for the project and i think it allows for a breather from the last song. The production is very different from the rest of the album imo it's a little more pop and i like it, short but sweet
Bleeding Out (prod. me) - I think this is a great outro to the project. It's sort of optimistic sort of not cause the beat is fun but the lyrics are a bit darker nothing too crazy tho. I wanted there to be a couple speed switch ups bc i feel like it represents the ups and downs of this project and it just keeps the listener engaged.
Thank you to everyone who listens and to everyone who helped along the way you guys mean the world to me
