We had a bit of a late night recording session tonight. It would have been earlier, only we decided to bake a cake instead. Our song choice for the evening was “American Boy” by Estelle and Kanye West. Yes, you are allowed to laugh a little bit at this point. Nick decided to record the guitar and bass tracks first so Audrey sat on the floor and made jewellery and then went and iced the cake (it was her roommate’s birthday).
Audrey doing her part….and hey look! A cake!
Post icing, Nick recorded his rap bits. Audrey laughed a lot. Audrey recorded her vocal bits, and then we both did a lot of overlaying vocal tracks. And out came a song! American Boy (Cover) by Guy & Doll
Nick laying down his rap.
Learning this song was very interesting. It is one of Audrey’s favorite songs, but has the opportunity for both a male and female to do a lot of interesting vocal bits. We spent about half an hour with both of us sitting on the bed while Audrey slowly sang the rap over and over again so that Nick could figure out where all the words went. So enjoy some “white boy rap”, have a drink on our behalf and give our tune a listen.
Some serious editing.
