It's been almost a year since the release of Nick Palmer's debut album "The Mad Scientist". Since then Nick has seen his life change drastically. He moved to LA and began the fast lifestyle of clubbing, partying, DJing, and a fair amount of drug use. Palmer was committed to rehab in July just as he was starting to write what would have been his second record. He still lives outside of the public eye as much as he can. He doesn't do interviews and rarely puts out press releases of any kind. But now he's back with a new single released on Studio 60 Records called "King of the World".

The song is a redemption song. Nick has gone full rap with it no longer fusing rap, hip hop, rock, dance, metal, etc... to make his songs. This song is very straightforward with soft synth chords overlayed with smooth beats and a xylophone synth adding to the beat throughout the song. It's nothing new musically but it is a solid track from Nick obviously written to kickstart his career for the next year.

Lyrically Palmer is on top form delivering the type of lyrics that fans say on songs like "Popular Music is Dead" on his debut album. He searches for redemption while also addressing his past but always looking forward declaring that he will be king. Palmer has a lot to prove to a music scene that he has never had a perfect niche in but this song puts his name out there again and attaches it to a killer chorus and memorable verses for a great way for him to come back to the scene.

[Verse 1]
So lets figure this out
like who the fuck is this guy?
Rap and make nice beats
Smoke a bowl get real high
Then fuck a girl who's real shy
Yeah bitch I know I used to do screamo
Metal breakdowns make it all emo
Placebo. I'm back fuck you
Florida white boys rap too
Eh I know I've done some shit
Do a girl dont even know her
Go til my body ya no funciona
yeah I'm a mad scientist
Makin beats in my meth lab
Noise so good fuckers know that I'm breaking bad

[Chorus]
I'll be king of the world
and ya'll are just my jesters
Or maybe my serfs
'Cuz I'm just the best yeah
I'll be king of the world
And you can take pictures
Follow me around n shit
I'm a real mixer
And I'll be king of the world
Carry me on your shoulders
Gonna have to be strong
My songs'll drop like boulders
When I'm king of the world

[Verse 2]
And fuck everybody who says I gotta go back to rehab
Say it one time for each Chaos Award you dont have
Makin mixtapes with garage band
I'm Steve Jobs and you're fucking Applebees
I'm just sittin chillin in my mustang
pickin up a girl the one im gonna bang
Party til we go home all the way
You think this shit is cray its just my Tuesday
I guess some say I'm just a failure
I should just leave man, fuck it all
Well man I'm just gonna be my own savior
didn't you hear even James Bond let the sky fall
Dont you know how high I got?
Red hot album and a house in LA
So much fame
It's like I won the hunger games

[Chorus]
I'll be king of the world
and ya'll are just my jesters
Or maybe my serfs
'Cuz I'm just the best yeah
I'll be king of the world
And you can take pictures
Follow me around n shit
I'm a real mixer
And I'll be king of the world
Carry me on your shoulders
Gonna have to be strong
My songs'll drop like boulders
When I'm king of the world

[Outro]
Yeah
I'm the king now
Ahh
yup I'm the king

Sample #1

Lets face it
It's basic
You the hero
I'm the villain
Schoolyard bully
Steal your backpack
Call me holy
Now lets backtrack
Lets face it
Its basic
You a god
I'm a racist
Beat boys
With a big stick
So much scandal
You call me catholic
So lets face it
It's basic
You the king
I'm the bishop
You must be the fairer
And I'm turned away
But Caesar, remember
Et tu Brute?

OOC: Going to do several of these. Hope no one minds that I have Nick remix their songs. All of the lyrics not in bold are by Moquel and the original can be found here Feel free to give me a song you want Nick to remix.

Nick Palmer Remixes 4U Girls
UserPostedImageUserPostedImage
With a slow return to music in 2013 Nick Palmer released a single but hasn't been hear from since, but now he's released a remix of the group 4U Girls's latest single "Urban Knockout" "I just wanted to remix some current songs and throw my own verses in. It's kind of what I like to do now." says Palmer. "4U Girls are a fun group and remixing this was an obvious choice especially given the lyrics and vibe of the song. Enjoy it."

Nick's Changes
(Original Song Credit: Moquel)
Nick doesn't change much of anything for the beginning of the song. It starts out just like the original except the vocals are less dominant and more echoy. Then an additional bassline comes in dominating and the song it is powerful and builds the atmosphere with an additional soft synth and a doubling of the drums in the background. Nick joins in some of the verses adding a "Yeah." wherever appropriate. A keyboard adds another element in the chorus but the main change is the tempo. It slows down. The addition of more echoy, fading vocals from Nick, although lyrically nonsense, plus the dominating bass, the ambient synth, and the addition of a second beat give the chorus a dance vibe. Nick changes little in the breakdown as the song changes itself to a very in-your-face arrangement after the first chorus except a wobbling bass and vocal distortion making it a definite dance section. THe overall effect turns the song in less of an urban direction and more of an ambient and dance direction but the beat still keeps the hard r&B, hip-hop aspect to the song. Before the last chorus is played out Nick adds his verse. He hammers the rap in with a strong hip-hop beat and his bassline backing him up. After this it returns to Nick's established arrangement for the end of the song.

Lyrics
First,
