Listening to Toxic by Britney Spears.

  • Verse is lower in pitch and punctuated
  • Pre-chorus is higher in pitch and airy
  • Measure between the pre-chorus and chorus build tension
  • chorus has a mix of punctuated and airy from the verse and pre-chorus respectively
  • The vocals are made by layering regular vocals and whispering vocals over each other
  • Pop music typically uses multiple voices ontop of each other, because just one vocal track doesn’t have the same impact when in a complete mix.

Mark Ronson is a good composer behind many pop hits, should consider looking at some behind the scenes commentary.

Homework:

  • Try to build out the track more and keep the impact I want for all of the phrases. Build out to the end of the first chorus.
