 Released: December 1st, 2013Format: Digital download, CD singleRecorded: 2013Genre: R&B, Soul, RapLength: 4:48Label: Studio60 RecordsWriter(s): A. Wansel, W. Felder, Hannah Beth Merjos-Caulfield, Isaac Lovelock, Amelle SebertProducer: Pop & OakSong Background'Tables Turnin' is a song performed and recorded by American Pop/R&B artist, Hannah Beth. It will officially be released for download on iTunes and other media sources on October 30th, 2013 as the second single from her new album, following 'Northern Lights'. The R&B inspired track will officially be released on iTunes on October 30th, 2013 and from the sounds of it, Hannah is channeling her inner sexy diva and going back to her more 'urban' sound which she has used in the past with singles like 'All Of Me,' 'Goodbye,' and recently, 'Northern Lights.' One of the few singers who has actually stayed around in the industry, even though she took frequent breaks in between to focus on her personal life, Hannah has come a long way in her music and career. She may still not be in the ranks among some of the legends but she could easily be mistaken for one. Of course, last name alone, Hannah has more than enough made an impact in Pop and R&B music during the past few years. She's collaborated with such artists as Failed Youth, Taylor Asbridge, Tisha Jackson, husband Brandon Caulfield, and arguably one of the most controversial icons in music, Katie Coyle.
Hannah took a different route with her new track, as she did with her last single. She showed R&B wasn't just a coincidence with her voice and that she was really able to go back and forth between Pop and R&B, occasionally experimenting with other sounds but mainly sticking with those two genres. She has a very soulful voice when provoked and it clearly is shown in her new single, 'Tables Turnin.' The song is rumored to be written about her husband, Brandon Caulfield, but she has yet to deny or confirm who it's specifically about. She did explain what the song meant:
"It's a very....sexy, free, loose type of song. It's all about feeling sexy at the right moment and wanting to share it with your guy or girl. You know, when you've had a long day or whatever and you just wanna get comfortable and cozy with your significant other, that's all it is. It's from a woman's perspective, so they're saying that they've been catered to and taken care of but now they want to turn the tables and take care of him. They wanna be in charge for the night and have fun. (Laughs) I guess that's what most women go through sometimes right? They want that one night where they show they care, even though it's probably obvious they care but they want to almost show off what they've learned. It's really sexy."
Another card Hannah brought to the table is teaming up with the up and coming producing duo of Pop and Oak who have worked with artists like Elle Varner, Nicki Minaj, and Alicia Keys. They have also produced songs for the hit movie 'Sparkle' and 'Think Like A Man' so it's safe to say she went to the right place for some good 'ol R&B music. It even has the throwback feel to it, with a sample of the Chi-Lites - 'That's How Long' incorporated into the song as well. Merjos-Caulfield pulled out her best vocals and a catchy chorus as well for her new single.
For the remix, Hannah enlisted in Isaac Lovelock and newcomer female rapper, Miami. This idea was brought on by the Pop/R&B singer simply because, "She loved both rappers and wanted to work with them." The track will be featured on her upcoming album as well as on iTunes for purchase. Along with this version of the song, you can also purchase the exclusive full length version of her video for Tables Turnin which is over 7 minutes long.Song DescriptionThe song has an old school, almost Motown feel to it, with the sample of the Chi-Lites and a modern twist to it. Lyrically, the song is about catering to a man instead of him taking care of her. Hannah doesn't overly sex herself up but she gives the song a sexy and fun energy to it with her impressive vocals and lyrics. Even though the song isn't directly dedicated or mentioning her husband, also a recording artist, Brandon Caulfield, lyrics such as, 'Remind you why you made me your wife', suggest that she is implying it to her husband. She gives a strong performance, pushing through with being on the verge of powerhouse vocals yet keeping her delicate touch. In the verses, she keeps a pattern of switching back and forth between lines with a high voice and then her regular voice, almost as if sounding like the vocal equivalent to going from innocent to sexy in a matter of seconds. The first rapper to appear on the track is Isaac Lovelock. He sets the tone for the remix, his very own special way of rapping which is undeniably different compared to most, giving a very memorable intro to the song, 'I.L., sans the introduction/You, no dress, plus the seduction' Being the only male to add his input into the song, he plays a key role in the remix, allowing himself to be the almost target for the lyrics being sung or rapped now. His slick rhyming gives Tables Turnin an even broader urban feel to it, and an unexpected trio coming together to make a very listenable remix. After this, Hannah resumes her rightful role into the singing of the enchanting verses until we get to Miami's part. Her slow and sultry like rapping also is a highlight in the song, rapping, 'Turnin’ those tables for you tonight/Feeling the spark of our love ignite/Burnin’ it hotter than dynamite' In the bridge, Hannah's voice is lower as she is expressing her wishes for him to distract himself from the troubles of the world for a minute and focus on the both of them together. Overall, it's an interesting and unique collaboration which probably will invite you in more than the original version, but that is not due to the lesser quality or attraction. Hannah, Isaac and Miami all leave an impressionable mark on the track and could be one of the greatest collaborations of the year. Hannah's Comments"So here it is, the remix! It's the first I've ever done and I'm super proud of it. Sometimes songs lose their touch when they add others on it but I think this one got even better! Hopefully the fans will love it as much as I do. Two amazing rappers joined me on the track and both did a wonderful job. It's still catchy and sexy and there's the male perspective in there now so that adds more to the song. I'm proud of the outcome, overjoyed!"Lyrics[Isaac Lovelock]
I.L., sans the introduction/You, no dress, plus the seduction
Nothing major, just candles and the lights on dim/’I never expected this from him’
Is what you’d say when you open up the door/15 minutes later we’re on the floor
No words, no interruption/Blinds closed, no more talkin’
You asked me if I missed you/I thought you already knew
That when it comes you and me/There’s nothing more that I’d want to be
Then the main man in your life/And I’d never want to leave my wife[Verse 1]
Magic seems
To be showing up here tonight
We don't need
To get rough or put up a fight
Don't you leave
You'll miss out I'm one of a kind
We don't need a spotlight baby we just know
You've seen me through so much it's been a while
Haven't felt like we could get away but I'm turning it around
So don't you worry about a thing
[Chorus]
I'll put on that dress that you like
Tables Turnin'
Remind you why you made me your wife
Tables Turnin'
Promise everything will be fine
Tables Turnin'
I'll be yours if you will be mine
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
O-o-oh, Ooh
[Verse 2]
Every time
You've been catering to my needs
Not this time
I'm putting you ahead of me
Cannot lie
I've been waiting for your company
No one else will get this loving not this way
You've seen me through so much it's been a while
Haven't felt like we could get away but I'm turning it around
So don't you worry about a thing, ye-eah[Miami]
Turnin’ those tables for you tonight
Making the spark of our love ignite
We’ll be exploding’ like dynamite
If you need to then hold on tight
It feels right, when we’re in delight
Our bodies pressed together all through the night
I’ll make it right
Turnin’ those tables for you tonight
Feeling the spark of our love ignite
Burnin’ it hotter than dynamite
Exploding like fireworks right through the night
Changin’ it up
This is just for you
For all the problems you helped me through
Tables turnin’ just for you[Chorus]
(And I will) I'll put on that dress that you like
Tables Turnin'
Remind you why you made me your wife
Tables Turnin'
Promise everything will be fine
Tables Turnin'
I'll be yours if you will be mine
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
O-o-oh, Ooh
[Bridge]
Escape away from all the pain
That's all that I can tell ya
We'll pretend there's no daylight and this moment will last forever
I know it's not the usual but that's okay
Sometimes a man needs to switch his place
Take my hand, I'm lighting candles
There ain't nothing that we can't handle
And after this night you'll never want to leave, so just relax and
[Chorus]
I'll put on that dress that you like (I'll put on that dre-e-ss)
Tables Turnin'
Remind you why you made me your wife (Let you know why I'm your wi-i-fe)
Tables Turnin'
Promise everything will be fine
Tables Turnin'
I'll be yours if you will be mine
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
Tables Turnin' (Who-oa)
(Don't you worry about anything) Tables Turnin'
(Just know we will be okay) Tables Turnin'
(We're just playing my game) Tables Turnin'
O-o-oh, Ooh
