Recorded: August 2013 Writer/Composer: Barbara Harris "Barbarian", Dallas Austin, TJ Cousins "Kidd Amaze" Producer: Dallas Austin, Barbara Harris "Barbarian" Length: 4:25 Genres: R&B, Hip-hop Soul Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, synthesizer, paino, drums and percussion Samples: "Hey Young World" by Slick Rick. Photographer/Artwork: Diane Martel Record Label: Hot Eye Records Formats: MP3 Download; iTunes, Amazon (Digital Only) Release Date: September 16, 2013 (Online Premiere) September 22, 2013 (Digital Download & Radio Airplay) Song Description & Background: "Cheat" is a song by American recording artist Barbarian taken from her debut studio album "Love.Sex.Magic.". The album is set to be released November 15, 2013 through the support of Hot Eye Records. The song was written by Barbarian, Austin, and TJ Cousins and produced by Dallas Austin and co-produced by Barbara herself. The song is now being distributed worldwide as the lead single from the "Love.Sex.Magic." album through Hot Eye Records. The song will be made available for digital download and radio airplay on September 22, 2013. The song however first premiered online at midnight on Billboard's official website September 16, 2013 and was uploaded on Barbarian's official youtube/vevo as the first video in her channel the very same day. "Cheat" also comes forward as Harris's first mainstream single release after a couple of demos and snippets had leaked online. Barbarian and legendary producer Dallas Austin produced the track together inside his own personal recording studio in Georgia. Austin first approached Barbarian with the concept of the song being that a "man cheated on her and eventually gets caught". Barbarian however thought the song's concept was too commercial and generic, and decided that it would be more innovative and original if she actually turned the tables on the meaning of the song and made it about her cheating on her man instead. Austin was instantly open to the idea and they both began writing the record in the most organic way imaginable. In terms of instrumentation, Barbarian wanted to incorporate a 90's inspired beat with real live instrumentation with a modern touch and After recording the track in the studio, Barbarian felt like the song needed a rap verse. She then heard about an upcoming rapper named "Kidd Amaze". After making a breakthrough with some of his music, Barbarian showed interest in working with the rapper even further and decided to call him up for a collaboration request. After hearing the record, Kidd Amaze sent in his verse in the matter of hours, and the record become more than she had expected. It was then, that she realized that his verse was very crucial, therefore she decided to release the song as the album's lead single. "I decided to take the artistic route and write a song that will make people think a little deeper. Believe it or not, we still live a macho dominated society, where men are still getting away with a lot of things they do. I am in no way trying to portray myself as feminist, I know that as a woman I am designed to do certain things but people take that idea way too far. It's incredible how men are able to get away with so much and maintain cleaner image for things they do, things that if women did, they would be looked as far worse. A lot of people are gonna be wondering why I wrote a song like this for women, but it's more hypothetical than direct. I think it's just a way to make people think a little and open their minds. I am in no way or form promoting promiscuity, but I am promoting a vengeful fantasy for us women to experiment with, maybe once in our life to give these cheating men a taste of their own medicine. Two wrongs don't make a right, but it sure does make things equal." - Barbarian In the terms of production, The song's beat consists of a seductive trumpet and the sound of a remixed record, insinuating a 90's sort of sound or tribute. The production always contains a light sample of "Hey Young World" by Slick Rick which can be heard in the background if you hear closely. Barbara's vocal range doesn't span too high in record, instead it's more relaxed and seductive. Despite Harris's wide vocal range, Barbarian purposely maintained a low voice to create an unique signature and unexpected vocal style that's to be showcased more in future songs. Overall, the songs composition is repetitive but effective and somewhat addictive thanks to the timeless sound of the trumpet which was softened to please the ears. "Cheat" lyrics Barbarian: "Yes, it's Barbarian, and I'm back, haha, ooh Oh I oh I oh I oh I yeah Oh I oh I oh I oh I yeah Oh I oh I oh I oh I baby Oh I oh I oh I oh I yeah The naughty things I did from hornyness cause you put me through so many things I gave my man all his modesty But I know that he cheated on me I caught him in his lie but all he does is cry to keep me near you better wipe them eyes boy I'm not fuckin' around cause what I needed was your affection Oh, So I cheat yeah I Just keep it on the down low cause nobody was supposed to know So I cheat yeah 'Cause he doesn't know what I do and no attention Goes to show oh so I cheat The 23rd day of loneliness cause we don't fuck like we used to do better get used to the change cause I'm not stressing cause I know you did the same yeah yeah I'll keep giving loving till the day he pushes me away and never go a day If he knew the things I did he couldn't handle it And I choose to be the one that isn't affected So I cheat yeah I Just keep it on the down low cause nobody else supposed to know So I cheat yeah 'Cause he doesn't know what I do and no attention goes to show oh so I cheat I think about us baby all the time But you know that I'm gonna need some affection Yeah, yeah you can't deny it I know you cheated baby, so will I And you gotta know if you don't give me that D Imma get mine Kidd Amaze: What's wrong your man leaving you unsatisfied? He doesn't give you the D to make you testify I don't approve of cheating but I know you have needs I'm quite controlling so I want to hear your beg and pleas I'm not easy you going to have you work for this Relax cause their don't be a pleasure spot I'll miss Rough when I need be but gentle like a kiss I going to tease you and maybe tie up your wrist I give branding to have a whole new meaning Looking at Nike's just do it gives a different feeling Minute man, nothing about me is short term Great at the play that leave you to squirm Don't get it twisted just because my name is Kidd Childlike at heart but where it counts I'm big I Know I make the guy you with feel obsolete As long as you keep on the low so nobody know that you cheat Barbarian: ooh Oh I oh I oh I Oh I yeah Oh I oh I oh I Oh I baby Oh I oh I oh I Oh I yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Edited by user 28 October 2013 04:39:27(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
