"Bleeding Out" is the second solo single released from SYNCO member Layla Sanchez the song was written by Alex Grey who gave the song to Layla after not liking her own solo version out the groups version of the track Layla was hesitant to take the track after releasing an already extremely successful solo single "Love Me Right Now" which topped both the Digital and Airplay top 20 charts staying at number one on the Digital charts two weeks in a row after awhile of insisting Layla finally agreed to record the track she stepped into the studio with Alex's brother Brandon Grey and Alex Grey who for the first time co-produced an track after hearing the track recorded Alex once again began insisting on her to release it Layla agreed on but only if another member would release a solo track as well Naomi agreed to this and will later release her debut solo single lyrically Alex is one of if not the best writers in SYNCO so the song lyrically is great very different from what we heard on the album the same could be said for the production which was done by both the Grey's and done excellently I might add with a synthpop track like this you can't really go wrong
The track starts out slow it has these easy synths going around the really draws the listener in this track is already completely different from Layla's debut single after a short intro with the synths playing we finally hear Layla come in singing in a lower voice which sounds a little bit odd on her as she has a unique voice more suited for higher parts or riffs which this song is lacking on so far after the first verse is finished we hear Layla go into the pre-chorus which suites her voice a bit more as she builds up to the chorus with her vocals adding barely noticeable runs she goes a bit higher before she finally enters the chorus the beat now fully in effect which are mainly just a bunch of easy going synths Layla's voice is slightly higher here which really shows off the vocals abilities of the youngest member after finishing the chorus she heads into the second verse which is much shorter than the first it's sung in a very similar way the beat is also similar she then heads into the pre-chorus which is once again done the same then into the chorus which once again is done the same the beat then slows down as we hear mainly Layla's voice she sings the first few parts but by the next few she holds them a bit longer and once again adds small runs a bit of auto tune can be heard in her voice as she sings these parts we then hear her go into the chorus which is done the same again before finishing it singing the words "We both know we're bleeding out tonight" adding a riff once again before the song comes to an end
Gnashing our teeth
As the other screams
With words like guns
We keep firing
This war started with no intent of peace
We're both too loud can't hear a thing
And the disbelief is showing
It looks like we proved the doubters right
We cut our wings off no more soaring
Stuck on the ground when we were supposed to fly
I can feel us bleeding out this time
And our loves breathing stopped cause you and I
No we're not dead but it doesn't feel like we're alive
I feel us bleeding out you know I'm rightI didn't know how fast lovers could become enemies
With just some words we couldn't keep
We fell for love we were deceived, it pulled us in and we believed
And the disbelief is showing
It looks like we proved the doubters right
We cut our wings off no more soaring
Stuck on the ground when we were supposed to fly
I can feel us bleeding out this time
And our loves breathing stopped cause you and I
No we're not dead but it doesn't feel like we're alive
I feel us bleeding out you know I'm rightNot much to say now this love is deranged
Two half full beds tonight
Couldn't put our tempers aside
Couldn't put our tempers as-i-i-i-i-de
Couldn't put our tempers as-i-i-i-i-de
I can feel us bleeding out this time
And our loves breathing stopped cause you and I
No we're not dead but it doesn't feel like we're alive
I feel us bleeding out you know I'm rightWe know we're bleeding out tonight

Title: Lips
Artist: Naomi
Writer(s) Naomi White, Miami
Producer: Melanie Houston
Label: Five Pesky Kids Records
Length: 4:10
Genre: R&B
Released: July 17th 2015
"Lips" is the debut solo single from SYNCO member Naomi White the song was written by White for SYNCO however it didn't make the final cut for the album after Layla came to her asking for Naomi to release a solo single along with her Naomi agreed she knew she wanted the song to get out there anyway and this was the perfect opportunity to release it so she went back in to record the track on her own with Melanie Houston however both of them felt something was missing from the track Melanie suggested a rap verse Naomi then agreed however rather than going the easy way and contacting someone the girls had already worked with she decided to look at a few other rappers before finally deciding on Miami she then contacted the rapper who agreed to feature on the track the girls went back into the studio re-wrote a few parts of the song along with Miami writing a whole new verse for herself on the track after hearing it herself then showing it to the girls she knew this would have to be the single she released the production is slow, smooth and sexy and Naomi's deeper vocals fit perfectly on the track Miami's steady flow though in her verse definitely brought the track to a whole new level the lyrics were also done really well speaking about what sounds like oral sex in a sort of radio friendly style if people were two judge the two singles released by the band mates this one might just take the cake
The song starts out with a sexy light beat playing over and over pulling the listener into the track this continues as Naomi begins singing the first verse adding her sexy smooth vocals to the already sexy R&B track after singing the first half of the first verse we hear the beat kick in a bit more remaining slow after Naomi finishes the first verse she heads into what can only be described as a pre-chorus the betgoes back to the way it was in the intro and first half however Naomi changes it up vocally a little bit going slightly higher however keeping it smooth she then sings the next part which is rather risque but far from the only risque part as she sings "Tonight we dine, tonight you dine" she then goes into the chorus the beat kicks back in the way it was earlier and Naomi continues singing with her sexy and smooth vocals going a little bit higher on certain parts of the chorus she then sings a part after the chorus which is slightly different she sounds almost as if she's singing and talking at the same time which can almost be compared to Rihanna in a way after this we hear Miami come in for her verse bringing the track to new heights of sexiness after finishing the verse we hear Naomi come back in and sing the chorus ad the part after the chorus doing it the same way as before after she finishes those parts we hear Naomi show off the versatility in her extremely underrated vocals as she sings the next few lyrics in a falsetto before going higher as she sings the next few "Ooohs" she then heads into the chorus which is done the same except with a few adlibs from Naomi before doing the part after the chorus the same way but again with a few adlibs added before the song slowly and smoothly goes into an outro and begins to fade out
Naomi
Miami
Boy I know we just met in the club
But I want it right now
Got me feeling things I've never felt
Come and turn my lights out, yeah
Could be what I've got in my cup
But I've never felt this way
Boy I don't even know your name
It don't matter anyway

But words aren't really important tonight
I'm not asking you to love me
But tonight we dine, tonight you dine

We can pass those red lights
Just put your lips on mine
And then glide, then glide
You can go south tonight
Just blow my mind right

And every time the phone rings boy I’m hoping its you
He got a swagger like no other; papi is so rare
And all my bitches say I’m crazy but I don’t even care
Cuz I’m stuck on you, I ain't going nowhere
They say love can pass you by so I’m trying not to blink
And you really drive me crazy; Britney Spears correlate
The way he put it on me I can never get enough
I’m addicted like a crack head smoke you up, puff puff
6'3, brown eyes, light skin, cute face
Nice hair, muscular, long thang, nice taste!
Cuz he do what he do and he really does it well
Got your girl in spell saying baby all hail
Late nights at your crib ignoring the doorbell
Turn off the ringer to the cell, boy we gliding like hell!We're goin' downtown tonight
