After years of hard work, Lizzo and her team felt that the second album was finally complete. But something kept producers Ricky Reed and Blake Slatkin in the studio working on a promising idea for one more single. The bet paid off, leading to the creation of the album’s Grammy-winning song, “About Damn Time”.
As a close friend and collaborator of Lizzo, Ricky Reed has played an integral part in her musical universe since 2016. After crossing paths with Blake Slatkin during the production of ‘Special’, the two forged an instant connection over their love of old-school funk and disco. What came next is history.
This 4-part series begins at the piano, where Blake and Ricky talk through the harmonic foundations of the song. Bouncing ideas off one another, they slowly reconstruct the track and demonstrate how a simple yet potent groove lured Lizzo back into the studio to join them on their mission.
The duo are accompanied in the control room by recording engineer Bill Malina, who reveals some of the technical decisions that brought their creative ideas to life. He discusses his approach to creating sonic consistency throughout the recording process, using careful equipment selection, mic placement and session management.
Eventually, all attention turns towards Lizzo as we learn how she penned the song’s unforgettable hooks and wordplay. Written in real-time as she freestyled over the track, her spectacular talent and presence perfectly tie the song together and demonstrate the power of an outstanding performance.
nice job guys XD
"Lizzo knows exactly what she wants" What else did she want you to do?! Asking for a friend.
0:32 ....but it's an E FLAT minor 9. 🤔
Expecting modern "producers" to know anything about actual music is a losing game (case in point bro said minor9 chords OMIT the 3rd. Its like pray tell then, what makes the chord MINOR???) Just be hopeful they have some neat compression trick you may not have heard of before.
1:52 Sorry but, I don't relate to her AT ALL.
I thought lizzo had been disgraced and cancelled for her disgusting sexual acts towards a crew member? She’s been sued six times for sexual harassment.
Is this an acceptable episode? Maybe do one for Gary Glitter too?
R Kelly episode coming soon!
Stfu, let people learn, you want to cancel her don’t watch it
😬😬😬😬
Yikes. My God, bad timing on this one, guys.
Literally couldn’t have picked a worse artist to feature at this exact time, I don’t think. :/
I mean you technically could’ve picked Ye or something, but even then the timing would be nowhere near as bad as this.
Yikes.
drama was like 2 months ago, what are you on about?
@@olle5555 lol It was last month and even if it was 2months ago why are you acting as if it was years ago. 2months would still be incredibly recent
Needs more bananas 🍌
Bro, you got me laughing with that! 😂
