Three Wishes: Cara Delevingne, Bella Kay, CARI
Welcome to Episode 11! Happy Pride, everyone!
Follow along on our playlist: https://www.tunemymusic.com/share/bIlbUfUrbL
Alex's beautiful and personal monologue talks about Doris Day's song "Secret Love," part of the soundtrack to the movie Calamity Jane. Love so big it can no longer be hidden...sounds like a theme to us. Secret loves and Calamity Janes...many of us know this combination well. We also talk rom-coms and Julia Roberts supremacy.
----------
The drink this week:
THREE WISHES
- 2oz dry vermouth
- .5oz sweet vermouth
- .5oz lychee syrup
- Barspoon of elderflower liqueur
- drop of rosewater
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.
This drink is based on a pre-Prohibition drink called a Richmond. Very vermouth forward, "east meets west" with some gorgeous flavors mixing together.
-----------
Cara Delevingne is quite the...quintuple threat? The actor / model / director / artist is releasing an album! The first few songs are out and we are listening to "I Forgot." We want to issue a headphone / levels warning on this...it varies quite a bit, to an interesting effect. This song has some of the hardest sound we've covered thus far due to the distorted synth and the weird mixing. The back and forth from soft piano to hard synth is overwhelming in a purposeful creative way. We like the vocoder on the vocals (hi Imogen Heap), and the switch from traditional pop vocals to a more theaterical approach which is cool. This song is a whole journey that we think sets the sonic palate for the project, and we are on the ride with Cara. There's also a short film!
Bella Kay gives us a solid ethereal pop-songwriter track full of yearning with "Promise?" Bella is having a career surge this year at the ripe age of 20, putting out some critically acclaimed singles and opening for Gracie Abrams. The melodic hooks are excellent, Jana digs the acoustic vibes. We talk vocal production techniques (parallel compression, good or bad?). Mic proximity, stylistic choices, indie versus polished pop...all choices. We are excited to see where Bella goes (check out her breakout single The Sick, too).
CARI takes us home with a gorgeously produced and sung track "Crashing Out!" It's half R&B and half industrial beats and distortion, which is a fascinating mix from this West London based artist. The song is about intense chemistry and pushing into passion instead of shying away. "You got me acting all 4-legged lately," is a the line for that vibe. The use of panning in the production is a stand out note, listen on headphones. CARI seems to be on the rise in her career, which we will absolutely gloat about when she is a household name. Bonus lesson on Brauer Motion!
