00:00There's a song called sideways like if I played sideways like this
00:06Kind of makes them
00:12Sounds like a dramatic Phantom of the Opera thing, but if I do it like
00:18Think that ooh that ooh is what I just made you say ooh without even saying hey
00:23Can you please say ooh Tomas like I can do that?
00:26Anybody can do that with the power of like these dissonant notes in between
00:30That's what I was trying to musically convey on this album, and I just I trip over my words
00:34I get all excited. No, I love that and then also it's a duet on that song too a little
00:38bit
00:38Cocoa Jones Cocoa's voice is so gorgeous and with you sounds amazing whenever I'm doing a duet with anybody
00:46I mentally take a backseat and
00:52Put them in the forefront like I'm not going to sing over Cocoa Jones. She has a much better voice
00:57than me
00:57I want to or just a different voice if her voice is here and like very

01:08Hugging that I don't want to also
01:10Be matching it because that's going to be annoying to listen to because she has a very powerful like
01:17Tone she has a very very powerful tone babyface taught me how to do that really back in
01:232016 he gave me the tip of
01:27Hey when you're doing it when you're layering all your background vocals just whisper the lyric is
01:32even even if we go sideways even if we go sideways
01:38I just say
01:41Like really close to the microphone
01:42Even if we scream
01:44Because you want that air and then you make it sound really thin and then you put it against her
01:50vocal my vocal and then
01:51It's just the air is like it's it's like every sound frequency from your voice and it just makes it
01:57sound thicker and warmer
