New R&B single - Gowidit!

[tat-tong]

Hey guys,

Been so inspired by the recent crop of R&B albums from artists like Mariah and Mary J Blige - so I wrote a new R&B song called Gowidit that sorta assimilates these influences. Please enjoy and let me know if you have any feedback! This is aimed at the American market - trying to find linkages over there currently...

Gowidit

Verse I
it's been two weeks
and we still talkin'
so all looks good tonight
but somethins changed
you're not the same
the frown on your face
what's on your mind?

is it all too fast for you
(no time to catch your breath)
or too much for you
(feel like you need a rest)
we been out all week
(you need space for yourself?)
so just relax
girl take a deep breath

Chorus
go wid it go wid it
just take it easy girl
flow widit flow widit
you know i love you so
roll wid it roll wid it
i'll let you take your time
i won't leave you behind
tell me what's on your mind

and oh
you tryin'a overanalyze
this love
don't bottle it all up inside
just wait
and all will be alright
just give this a chance
we'll make it thru the night

Verse II
don't worry girl we'll take it slow
just lie your head down feel the tension go
things get a little warm
kick em open toes off
the bath be runnin'
let your thoughts escape...

i'll make it right for you
(breathe in girl relax)
you know i'm nervous too
(but we both want it so bad)
we been out all week
(alone just us two)
so close your eyes
girl take a deep breath

Chorus

Bridge
it's been a long week and you're feelin' down
so let me make it all OK (eh oh eh oh)
there no pressure girl we'll take our time
all i wanna do is do it right (eh oh eh oh)
so go wit the flow girl close your eyes
feel my touch hot as fire cold as ice
float off on a cloud to paradise
cuz that's what this love is about yeah

Chorus x 2, F.O.

Hey good stuff dude! well produced, great mix. I don't listen to R&B but this piece kept my attention. thumbs up!!

 

[RoRK]

Good stuff, as always. I would have wanted the piano a lot warmer though. Good luck on giving it a shot overseas. Donch forget Taiwan! It's not as great as USA but it's much better than here and it can be used as a stepping stone to eventually get into the US.

Cheers

Nice song you have there, but IMHO the mix still needs to be worked on - it sounds rather flat, and lacks center focus.

 

[tat-tong]

Thanks! Just put up (at the same place) a mix 3 of the song which addresses some of ADSR's issues.

 

[letterhead]

very nice stuff, even though i don't listen to r n b. the mix is good imo. i like the vibes in the song, nice job!

+ 100 points for the vocoder-ized voice!

What plug-in did you use?

 

[tat-tong]

Thanks for the feedback! The "vocodered" vocals a la T-Pain were just run through Antares AutoTune 5 - making a virtue out of a necessity, really, if you know what i mean...

I don't know what to say. This song...is incredibly beautiful and you should be famous, no shit.

*Thumbs waaay up*

P.S. Can I get to know more about you? It's been a while since I've found a really good local artist like yourself

ahhh! kinda like what they did for cher's voice?...cool!
i see u r using Sonar 6, do they have the V-Vocals plug in that version?

 

[Waypoint]

Thanks, much appreciated! I'd buy Tat Tong's album if there's any out there. Is there? Like in HMV maybe?

Waypoint, thanks for the nice words. I really do have a long way to go, both in my singing and production skills, so just wait... it'll get even better.

The interview does tell a little bit about who I am and what I do, but please feel free to PM me if you wish to know more/get in contact with me.

Also, I just revamped my page at Tat Tong which now features a collection of 10 of my favorite demos, that span the gamut from Chinese karaoke-pop to R&B to my attempts at American pop-rock. Please check it out and let me know what you think! Thanks guys.
