3.9.11 Adam News & Info

Just my humble 2 cents on the subject of Howard Benson vocal production.

When an artist like Adam that has unlimited range and a vast pallet for vocal phrasing embellishment is in the recording phase of a song, the producer &/or artist will usually record a variety of different vocal tracks, so when they are doing the final mix of the song, they can choose what feel/vibe the want the song to have.

When Adam contracts someone to do a remix of his music, they will be supplied with all or most of the tracks so the remixer will be able to have the full pallet of tools/tracks available to create there "magic".

So when Adam credits Howard Bensons vocal production, the vocal tracks we hear on the remix where recorded and produced by Howard during the FYE recording, so Billboard used some vocal tracks that where available to him that weren't used on the FYE version of Aftermath because Howard chose to take the FYE version in a different direction.

Sorry if I was rambling or that did not make any sense! LOL

I hope Adam is never in the position that he has to resort to singing idiotic songs written by Kesha. "Now that I'm famous you're up in my anus" An example of her brilliant lyrics, and I don't give a F**k how many record she sells, that is bubblegum pop, very little talent required, every song sounds the same. She has written a song for Brittney Spears, who is desparate for a comeback, so no surprise there. Get the hits while they're hot suckers.


It is obvious that Adam is striving for longevity , respect in the industry , and an album that he states will be honest and open about his life experiences. Why would a true fan recommend that he would sell-out to songs like Keshas just to get hits on the radio. I hope Adam writes an album that he feels from his heart, and if it does not sell millions like the shit that Kesha (and many others) spew out that is okay by me.

Adam is playing with my mind.

I'm not so young; so, sometimes I hear what I want to hear; sometimes I hear what I need to hear.
Wanna say? Wanna stay? Wanna play? What I say? One day?
And, at the end . . . one love?
Does it matter?
I'm dancing in the dark, tonite. I know nothing of 'remixes' or how it's done; or club dances, or club beats - - - but I sure hear the beat in this song.

I hear, above all, the voice. Asking if I could rewrite the role I 'play'. 'Play' has taken on a new meaning - having heard it sung so tenderly.

Smitten again.

I came here after work - fifty pages already!
You people are fucking amazing.

I just have to join the party for a moment - before I turn out the lights and listen to him sing, again.

I love "choir Adamtopia". Voices honest - of every timbre, soprano and alto; low and reassuring; sharp and seeking; full of resonance; a tenor - maybe new, tentative - still finding the key; the notes; the rhythm. Vibrato; straight tone - raspy or clear; but always pure.

This is music.

No, it wouldn't be like that! Just answers to technical questions we have or things we want to discuss. Like tonight and what you actually know about recording because you've been there. Awww, c'mon! You wouldn't have even had to read 50 pages if there was technical thread we could have gone to.
Like how does this all get done over computers, and not lose any quality, and without the parties never even meeting each other! (I'm scaring you, huh!)
