This is incredible. It's giving Destiny's Child. Please make one where if it was released in 2005. I always thought Positions gave Emancipation of Mimi vibes.
@@flopnumerounothank you for mentioning Brandy. Because it was her and darkchild that catapulted this SOUND. I hate when ppl try to forget that piece of music history. The Boy Is Mine was the beginning of a new wave.
This is so cool! I’m always impressed with people who have the type of musical ear where they can make a sing sound like it was released in another year, give it a new kind of vibe, but still keep the integrity of the song and keep it sounding amazing!
You don't really need a good ear for that tho. You can just google the chords and get the necessary software. Having good relative pitch would make it a lot quicker since it enables you to figure out chords/melody/rhythm upon first listen, but it is by no means necessary.
Oh my gosh the Darkchild-ness of it is spot on! This was that turn of the millennium pop-R&B sound - slick, frenetic, filled with whatever was considered to sound fresh and futuristic at the time.
In my opinion it still is I mean there are a-lot of artists that are bringing this style of music back to life, but it's just that it doesn't sound like how it used to .
the chills this immediately gave me. this type oof sound always does, its nostalgic and hitting. 90s were just such a special era for music. pioneered so much! this album evoked some of that tbh, not in the same ways that dangerous woman did, but this remix sounds just right! fits great with her vocals. love it
bruh this is amazing WTF, this sounds like an aaliyah song now, bro, i get ariana is a r&b and pop artist, she is of both genre's but she needs to make more r&b songs. I prefer R&B ariana 🤣
R&biana released some songs in her first album as well, sweetener kinda, tun and now positions is the most r&b ish album. If the rumors are true, it looks like AG7 would be more a disco pop album
It's because the Roland JV-2080 was used on just about every R&B hit record. Many Producer's used the same sounds from that sound module. So is the Korg Trinity in the 90s.
You got the aesthetic. There’s just way too much going on here because every sound, even her voice, is competing against each other to have been a legit 90s song.
I know this is 90s inspired, but the sort of post-irony of the instrumentals and the almost bubblegum pop sound of it makes this SO 2023. They couldn't have made this back then.
I know it may not be intentional but I get so tired of people saying this sound belongs to Destiny’s Child or TLC. This sound began in 1998 with The Boy Is Mine. Darkchild and Brandy created a sound together that changed the landscape of music.
@@aeiouranus y’all just be making up shit to fit your own personal preference 🙄 Missy and timbaland sound did not become mainstream until the 2000s. Their sound INSPIRED Darkchild but you have got to be deaf to think this sounds anything like Timbaland or Missy
@@SoSillyWilly26 🙄 Timbaland came out before Rodney Jerkins and had several HITS under his belt way before the 2000s and way before Rodney Jerkins was working with Brandy lmao. The stuttering drum pattern and double bass sound that you hear in this song is a Timbaland staple. Brandy and RJ both said they were inspired by Timbaland and his work he did with Aaliyah in '96. The only thing that sounds similar to Brandy productions is the loopy harp synthesizer WHICH was a commonly used instrument in urban pop and R&B productions in the 90s 😭😭 Brandy and Rodney did NOT invent that pls💀💀
@@aeiouranus you do realize Rodney was classically trained…and I never said he came before Timbaland I said he made this sound mainstream. You’re arguing with the wall at this point 🤷🏼♂️

I own just about every Sound module used through out the 90s and 2000s but yet ran across that snare drum you used on this track. I own the Roland Integra-7 that has all the JV and XV sounds but has around 6000 sounds that I still going through. Its basically a modern XV5080. I also own the Yamaha MOTIF Rack-ES ES, E-MU Proteus 2000, E-MU Mo phatt, Roland Fantom-XR, and Korg Triton, Triton Extreme (software).
@@salalmemdarez oh OK gotcha. I'm pretty sure it either came from some old E-MU or Akai Sample CD library since Timbaland was th first to use that same kick and snare. He had those samples loaded into Ensoniq ASR-10. There are some drums in my Mo Phatt Proteus module that sounds pretty close. What did you use for the Destiny's Child Fancy remake? I know J.R Rotem used a Korg Triton back then as he mentioned he sequenced the beat in Cakewalk Sonar. I remade that track awhile back too as he used the Arco Strings patch on the Triton. The JV-2080 was used very heavily used on a lot of R&B records esp the Harp patch that Rodney Jerkins was using for Brandy and Monica the boy is mine.
@@eeeeeee_13 Roland does make VSTs for some of their legacy hardware but doesn't include any of the SRX expansion sounds. I'm sure he own much of the same hardware I do. I have pretty everything included in the Integra-7 module as all the JV-1080/2080 and XV-5080 sounds are all in there. You can hear JV sounds on everything from Sisqo, Drull Hill...
The 80s don’t do much for me but oh baby the 90s. My dad always talks about those times. The music, the more casual colours and simple MVs as opposed to how bubbly the 80s were, albums from that era. The R&B and dub club era. It just appeals to me.
How do you capture that r&b sound so well? What are the instruments and sounds you use to give it that 90s r&b feel? Also what’s that water drop-like sound that plays in this remix? I always hear it in a lot of r&b songs. Btw what softwares/editing apps do you use to make this? Another thing, I’m not even an Ariana fan but I adore this remix!
....and for the music video, she'd have been wearing a skin tight silver/red/golden suit, with lipstick to match, and she'd be on a "spaceship," or "futuristic city" with garish vfx.
This is incredible. It's giving Destiny's Child. Please make one where if it was released in 2005. I always thought Positions gave Emancipation of Mimi vibes.
It gave early 2000s Mary J Blige vibe. Like Be Without You.
i’ve seen ppl say that but im not sure, at least vocally and in terms of message, they’re different
That Darkchild style of producing back in the day.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Now what we ain't gon do is disrespect Queencipation like that
the darkchild-esque production really shines with her voice. Kudos to you!
Kevin She’kspeare and Kandi Burruss style More so
@@Cmc995 im comparing this to Brandy’s full moon album that he produced (“all in me” to be exact) but you’re right too
It's definitely giving Darkchild!!
@@flopnumerounothank you for mentioning Brandy. Because it was her and darkchild that catapulted this SOUND. I hate when ppl try to forget that piece of music history. The Boy Is Mine was the beginning of a new wave.
@@SoSillyWilly26 TRULY! we need to speak about it more, knowing how underrated her Darkchild-produced albums are!

Very Well said my friend.
You don't really need a good ear for that tho. You can just google the chords and get the necessary software. Having good relative pitch would make it a lot quicker since it enables you to figure out chords/melody/rhythm upon first listen, but it is by no means necessary.
the instrumentals don't match the voice at all. It is clashy as hell.
she needs to be in rnb. this proves it
Well “Positions” is an r&b song (tbh) 😕🤷🏻♀️
@@abbiedwe all mean old rnb lol
@@PrayashLand Ok but I was just saying that I think it’s an r&b song (lol)
@@abbiedno it’s not. positions is a pop song with r&b influence. as is most of the album
@@headoverdiors Well that’s what I meant (sorry) it’s r&b influenced
Sounds like Destiny's Child/JLo/Britney/Madonna/Xtina, song 😱😱😱😱😱😱 amazing...
X-girlfriend - Mariah Carey
This is Aaliyah all the way. Dark Child Remix
yeah bc they are groups from the 90s duh 💀 sounds like TLC, blaque or namie amuro as well
Ikr
plus a bit of tlc
Oh my gosh the Darkchild-ness of it is spot on! This was that turn of the millennium pop-R&B sound - slick, frenetic, filled with whatever was considered to sound fresh and futuristic at the time.
And that distinct blub blub blub sound
That's actually Kevin "Shek'speare" Briggs' production style!!
@@mbmd_nationsuction cup wheel noise
Funny cuz nowadays it just sounds so so outdated and reflective of its time.
Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs and Kandi Burruss, rather than Darkchild.
i miss when generally most music was produced like this.
same 😭😭😭
Me two, three, four and forever.
In my opinion it still is I mean there are a-lot of artists that are bringing this style of music back to life, but it's just that it doesn't sound like how it used to .
It’s still around lol just search
Without that popping bubbles sound this would be on my playlist lol perfect
The bubbles was insanely annoying, lol
I think the popping adds, personality in my opinion. It’s bright and bubbly, like Ariana as a performer. It’s very cute, just like her☺️💗💕
I agree!!!!!!! It bugged the hell out of me!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
it would be good if it wasn’t so constant 😭
I like the bubble pops everywhere but the chorus. It’s a bit overdone but I get the appeal
omg do the whole positions album into this genre
YES
and polish west side pls
@@k4rtyWho is that?
@@abbieda song
@@chinocaresx By who tho? ://
If im being honest, this sounds way better than the original
Totally
it's just the truth
it really does. highkey want this to get more views than the original haha
Ehh it's okay. Personally, I prefer the original but this slaps!❤
lets be serious

Best thing about this is that she did say she wanted to sing R&B first but was told she was too young for it.
People forget how young Bey was back in her DC days…
@@biazacha Monica was 12 when she started

@@spattzliyah2.0 boooooo!
@@spattzliyah2.0 ur a pop stan get out
OMG this sounds so good! Bravo! Very Destinys Child sounding! I love it. Please make more 1999 versions!
Awesome!! I love so much the vibe😍😍 sounds so good!
Sounds kind alike timbaland
This gives me Janet Jackson's You and TLC's No Scrubs vibes with a bit of If You Had My Love by Jennifer Lopez.
It's because the Roland JV-2080 was used on just about every R&B hit record. Many Producer's used the same sounds from that sound module. So is the Korg Trinity in the 90s.
I think Bills Bills Bills is the clearest blueprint here
it's giving me vibes of TLC, Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, and Mary J. Blige🥰🤩
You got the aesthetic. There’s just way too much going on here because every sound, even her voice, is competing against each other to have been a legit 90s song.
nah it's so good stfu
That's the sound of the era, multiple instruments yet they're all different and distinct.
the positions deluxe tracks are very 90s reminiscent ! love this rendition
Defo reminds me of TLC, Destiny's Child, JLo and even Craig David arrangement mixed in one. Cool R n B vibes right here. ✨
this had me going "darkchild nah nah" before the first verse dropped.
Did you make this?? Very talented, it's incredible. Deserves a ton more views
please make a series or something. This is sooo goood!!!!😩
I know this is 90s inspired, but the sort of post-irony of the instrumentals and the almost bubblegum pop sound of it makes this SO 2023. They couldn't have made this back then.
I hope she releases music with this kind of sound one day!
PLEASE MAKE MORE LIKE THIS, I LOVE IT

It's really GOOD you should do more!
Omgggffff this is a MASTERPIECE👑😭
this kinda sounds like the AG7 unfinished sessions we've been getting. "gloss" specifically. and im SO here for it.
i hope ag7 still has that sound and didnt change because of wicked omg
ty for making me rediscover those sounds ! loved ur 34+35 remix
Just a girl stuck in the 90s . I absolutely love this ❤
Same!!
Same
THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER NEEDED IN LIFE 😭👏🏾👏🏾
This is literally giving Brandy-Full Moon/ Never Say never era production along w the vocal layering. 😭

Ok the intro made me laugh, so accurate!!
And there will be a scene in the MV where Ari dances to a robotic-styled choreography in a giant cheese grater box.
There’s something so ethereal, romantic, & innocent about late ‘90’s R&B and Pop. ☺️🥹🎵
ive never heard the original & dont listen to ariana, now im scared of listening to the original version lmaooo this is so good
The bubble pops
THIS IS A BANGGGERRR BRO!!! Like you did JUST a good jobbbb!!! Wow!
This is soooo dope!! 🤯 Pls make a drum kit thank you
this makes my ears quiver idk how to describe it
The background is so accurate
😍 Good job girl.I want more of this😍😍P.S wonderful song🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
OMG. MASTERPIECE
Tysm! I listen to this everyday❤
In 1999 every RnB song had this guitar sequence
same with 2000 (:
You really did it on this onneee ❤
it’s giving darkchild

omfg this is so good wtf
Her voice just scream 2010 to me no matter the background music but this is better than the original.
the chord sounds are literally from bills by destiny's child 😭 it's the bubble pops for me
This version of Positions should be released immediately. As a 90’s baby, I love it. It’s giving nostalgia
All yall in the comments better put some respect on Brandy's name. This is her sound. Yall need to listen to Never say Never
You goat that Kandi & She’kspear kit. I️ miss this sound so much you killed this!!
this is pure art
Man I miss this kinda production. Bring it back!!
This actually levels up the song so much. Superior to the original version!

This is actually so accurate. It sounds exactly like Darkchild sound which was really popular in the late 90s
Amazing💗
This sounds so good
Can we get more like these cuz Ariana has a timeless voice and these are awesome!!!!
Ur amazing. Ps: i love the bubbles
Omg, this feels so accurate!
....and for the music video, she'd have been wearing a skin tight silver/red/golden suit, with lipstick to match, and she'd be on a "spaceship," or "futuristic city" with garish vfx.
Mds, o álbum novo PRECISA ser nessa pegada! Ariana, eu suplico!
A masterpiece made by a legend 😂🩵
I literally love this so much. Positions is one of my all-time favorite songs of hers, and I live for anything ‘90s R&B so this is right up my alley ❤
omg i like this better over the og production
this is amazing
The bubble sound was a little too prevalent but beyond that i love
It has that Rainbowriah pop effects 😍
which was common during this era of 90s r&b. instrumentation kinda reminds me of x-girlfriend
This is the rework I didn't know I needed
I love this version more tbh (Nothing is wrong with the original but I always got old school vibes with the instrumental)
omg this is so good
Hang on im so obsessed with this
bro this is fire!!! i think its better than the original one 🔥🔥🔥
The bubble sound tho 😅
HAHAHAHA
YOOOOOOO THIS IS INCREDIBLE 🤯
THE ACCURACY
Total TLC vibes circa Fanmail!!!
The bubble popping sound is sooooo 90’s 😂
oh my god it is perfect
Its so cool turned pop into RnB ❤
I loveeeee the bubble pops it’s so fun gives a whole diff vibe
