Intro

This edgy colorful ballad that is produced by heavyweight Dallas Austin and lyrical superstar Mike Davis and the unique counterpart XROCKA has giving pop's newest girls a fresh record that is lifted fresh from their mixtape, ' Endless Dopeness' the four girls who has recently had huge success with their club banger 'Urban Knockouts' that debuted strongly at #2 digitally and airplay has been lifting promo singles from the mixtape before they release the lead single from their highly anticapted album 'Domination' Even though KMP confirmed that some promo singles will be on the album as additional tracks or even apart of the tracklisting. The females that has captured the world's attention with their unique sound of hardcore and banging hip-hop influenced sounds, the urban concepts of bad girls and sassy attuides and not to mention, the powerhouse vocals that always present on each track. With almost five singles under their belt including 'Girls Like Us' 'Without You Boys' 'Control Room' and ' Please Dont Make Me Cry' is just the highligts of the girls old work to the measurement of the girls new work that is produced by some of urban's music hottest producers and writers. The girls have yet to give us nothing but original music and music that will carry on to having 4U becoming the hottest girl group of 2013.


Liftout- Starting Installements/Vocals
Urban music is sometimes the giving factor of fresh hip and powerful music. Dallas Austin is known for us club banger and dramatic fulled records with a lot of lifeoffs that has gotten many of 90's and early 20's stars the stardom they need. He oftens gives the music a sense of personality and style that other producers cant archieve. He adds the style, the grace and the elegence that a lot of females groups have naturally in their ballads. He understood that 4U just didn't want a typical ballad, so he provided more than that. He gave the style of hip-hop, the banging and very rough soundbits that all came together to make the record very chic and modest, he adds color with their full voice vocals. He also gives the chilling sounds back in the 90's, the vibitic hip-hop sound similar to Notorious B.I.G, iconic Tupac, girl power group En Vogue and also Aayliah. The fresh bounce music that has you feeling good, but also feeling the edgyness of such an complicated but complex track musically wise that Dallas does so well in the beginning to the end of the track. The magic happens when its seems the production and quality of the record fits so well vocally and lyrically when the girls didn't even write to the samples that Dallas produced for them. They wrote prior before they meant Dallas at an industry party back eariler last year and wanted to work with her on the EP and also their debut album. He gave them something they wasn't sure was going to work with such an strong ballad, but he made it work when he signature style matched their rough motives and very strong personalities. The lyrical master Mike Davis has worked with the girls vocally on trying to make the lyrics sound as good as their strong and upfront vocals. He rewrote a lot and also he wrote what the girls feel like they are trying to get across to the listeners. He also gave them an stunning arrangement with their vocals during the chorus and bridge, he also wrote an breakhearted chrous that is very smooth but also vocally forward that he wanted to archieve with the girls, to just let go and sing their hearts out. Mike did an brilliant song with the arrangement that fitted well with the composition. The track just began, you have clicked on the 'play' button and just seconds in the song, comes this addicting liftout to only have you wanting more in the track, similar to a horror film that already begins with an chilling phone call of someone myserious on the other line, similar to the Scream Trilogy. Dallas wanted that anticaption from the beginning to the end of the song, the liftout sounds like: (starting at :0-:31) The liftout features already smooth vocals from the girls.



Liftoff Vocals

During the short liftoff, the girls have seperate flawless vocals that are all mastered into one beautiful haramony during the liftout that goes smoothly into the chrous.

Danielle- The more low range pitch of the haramony session of the record. She is more in a lower register, with her strong deep and husty head voice. She stays in his register in the beginning. She begins the haramony by saying, ' if you love was..' and continue on with the long note in the word 'was' to joining of..

Aubrei: " Me Me Me Me Me Me" sings in a very high pitched range, which is more confortable with. Her soulful and smooth vocals are highlighted in this song. She sings "Me" in a slow pace similar to the liftout that matches the pace of the lifoff sample. She continues to sing me in the background to Danielle stunning heavy voiced addition in the back singing ' if your love was me."
while Aubrei joins in haramony with Danielle, Aubrei sings the more higher parts in the haramony.

Bianca- Bianca then joins strong voice, the more naturally voice in the group. Her vocal power is heard between her ranges when Aubrei and Danielle changes pitches to a higher pitch to a lower pitch when you hear both girls work so beautifully together when both their lower ranges are bended so well, it so flawless, it sounds as if angels are singing. Bianca does the haramony so well with her vocal power shines though when she sings ' If you love was me." The note that is singed by Danielle and Aubrei is: (eeeeeeee) has they got higher and higher but Danielle restes her voice, gets it in a more lower register while Aubrei goes higher, trying to balance out the vocals. Bianca joins in the (eeeeeeeee)

Laci: Laci joins in all of the sudden with the haramony addition as well, she sings with a powerful adlibs of (eeee, I can give all of me) the girls background then adds, (if you go slooooooooo) the 'oooo' are featured only Danielle when Laci adds it with the smooth vocals to her powerful soulful scream at the end.



Composition

The lovely and smooth instrumental is what gave 4U girls the freedom to write like they did. The 90's inspired track is one of the kind because Dallas Austin once again uses an Notorious B.I.G sample to give the girls smooth and an relaxing edgy but soft sound that is so passioned and soulful about. The soul, the flow, the melody of this joint is just like back in the day when female groups was the escape for women. They wanted to take it back to the old school, the slow dancing and passioned loving with this track but still give you that rough persona that has gotten them the success they only dreamed about. The track is beautiful but that diamond in a rough track that shows flaws and all in this soulful record.

After the liftoff vocals and introuduction, soon the instrumental kicks in and will suddenly already have your head rocking side to side, relaxing your eyes and moving side to side, enjoying the relaxing arrangement. The track begins with a deep and heavy voiced Danielle singing to the best, you can hear the pain, the feeling of the lyrics. You hear her pain thought her soft and relaxing vocals. When you hear Danielle's voice, you then start to feel the track as an whole because she takes you back to Toni Braxton days, the smooth and romance side of Danielle is shown. Her vocals has so much to do with the beginning of the track because you are hooked by the time she gets to the last line of the first verse, she belts out emotional syths and breaks into her emotional crying vocals to the smooth revealing of the chorus and Danielle belting out sad teared fulled adlibs in the back, taking over the beginning arrangement of the track. It remains smooth. During the chrous, you can rock and feel so good about the track, in the dark, slow dancing, while the record spins. It stops during the chrous after the girls all belt out, " I know you love me." After they sing 'Me' Danielle always belts out over the girls in her breaks in her vocals, seems she is crying as during the chrous, it just as much breaks together in the previous liftout melody but more together as a group and more beautiful as a whole, they sing with pride, pain and sorrow, but keeps it under control during the emotional chrous. During the second verse, Aubrei comes in with her angelic vocals and very smooth, soft as butter vocals are so warm, sweet and sensative as she sings her heart out. She remains to stay emotional and true to herself as an heartbreaker of many guys, but then breaks down at the end of the verse with a loud cry, you can hear it deeply in her voice when she then breaks out with riffs and runs, suprises the listeners ears when Aubrei belts out endless riffs and runs before Danielle then comes back in belting out, " If you love me you will" then the flawless melody joins smoothly back in the record, as Aubrei and Danielle both do timeless, but very powerful adlibs in the back to the remaining of the girls singing the chrous, breaking down their vocals into a true vocal powerhouse group when they all join in and out the chrous, leaving Danielle sometimes emotionally unstable in the back with her adlibs and Aubrei singing the chrous adding adlibs and runs. The third verse that is rather short is singed by Bianca with her signature raspy and toneful voice is heard, the brighter her voice becomes in the song with her whistle and flawless falsetto notes, singing C5 to D6 notes in her strong head voice, outshining the girls, during her verse, she mixes whistle and falsetto notes out thought the verse, her soul comes deeply with her chest register and head alto's notes that are sharp, but yet free. She takes out her pain on the verse when all of the sudden Laci joins in singing her last line for her as the girls then all sing with a soft touched to their vocals, they lower down their pitches singing all together as the instrumental stops after the third verse, only hearing the beautiful haramony of the girls as it gets higher and higher, sounds as if they are singing high pitched Christmas songs. Laci's prowees overcomes the girls as she sings a high note, with power and grace, ends it with a soft and relaxing note, then Danielle does the same with a deep note containing her lower register. Aubrei does a stunning riff that has her voice going into a sneak and to Bianca high falsetto that is joined during the bridge when the instrumental begins again more smoother to the repeating words of 'Slower' when the girls repeat it in the background belting out the word 'Slower' to Bianca and Danielle doing adlibs, crazy runs and also strong and hooked riffs that is inclunded in the mixed in the background when the girls are all singing the chrous one last time. The vocal forward ballad is yet edgy but very strong.
Smooth Vocal sounds similar to:

The record sounds like:


Lyrics


Your emotions are as fast as cars on a highway,
it's no stopping you, which you see my face.
Your eyes are just as confused as mines.
You see a beautiful face, but can I?
Witness your pain. All this laughing and
talking all night, then you tell me you want to
settle down, leave all the other girls alone.
But I'm so afriad if I say yes, I'll regret
not saying no.


You gonna wait for that moment baby,
I can picture me watching your back,
taking all my love with you. I can't even
aplogize for that watery eyes, You moved way to fast.
I cant keep up, its better if I leave you go.


Slow down, for me.
So fast, my eyes cant see.
Everything is so overwhelming.
Praying
you will come running back to me, but I dont care
if you dont. I tried to tell you your apporch was too
fast because my feeling was so low, you went to high,
it took me to the sky, I wasnt ready to flyyyy-eeeeee!
I tried to tell you to go slower, I wanted you to go slower,
I left you, you went too fast, baby, just go, slooo-wer.


Baby, go sloooooo-wer.
babyyy go, Sloooow-er
baby go go go baby go, Sloooo-wer
Sloooo-wer

I want you to slow it down,
take a moment to see my smile.
Sloooo-wer,
baby you need to go sloooo-wer.


I cant take this anymore, my heart is so broke.
I feel as if I lost all my luck. I use to dream about
it all the time, that you will be that boy I will leave
broken heart behind. Now, I sit in a dark room, holding
your picture frame. If you knew you will be gone, the rates
I chose for you will be quicker than you.


I cant take this prayer anymore, praying
you will come running back to me, but I dont care
if you dont.
I hate to see you go, I hate to watch you leave
but I wont fall in love with your demands.
Kiss me, hold me tight,
dress fancy, spend the night
. I wont be the girl you turn into something
you like, so baby, tonight is the night I will take you on a scary ride.
I'm leaving you.


Slow down, for me.
So fast, my eyes cant see.
Everything is so overwhelming.
Praying
you will come running back to me, but I dont care
if you dont. I tried to tell you your apporch was too
fast because my feeling was so low, you went to high,
it took me to the sky, I wasnt ready to flyyyy-eeeeee!
I tried to tell you to go slower, I wanted you to go slower,
I left you, you went too fast, baby, just go, slooo-wer.


Baby, go sloooooo-wer.
babyyy go, Sloooow-er
baby go, Sloooo-wer
Sloooo-wer, oh yes, I need you too

I want you to slow it down,
take a moment to see my smile.
Sloooo-wer,
baby you need to go sloooo-wer.


Baby, do you want me for who I am?
You see speeding me on by, you dont dont
even know why I'm here. It seems I'm a ghost that cant move,
your love is just taking me for a clue. I dont know if I can do this,
I drop the ring, leaving you with empty promises.


Go slower, (as I know meeeeeeeee)
I can hurt you just as much as you can hurt
(mmmeeeeeee)
I can always go somewhere far.
(Meeeee)
Take a moment to see my smile,
you didnt know when my pain was happiness
in disgust.


Slow down, for me.
So fast, my eyes cant see.
Everything is so overwhelming.
Praying
you will come running back to me, but I dont care
if you dont. I tried to tell you your apporch was too
fast because my feeling was so low, you went to high,
it took me to the sky, I wasnt ready to flyyyy-eeeeee!
I tried to tell you to go slower, I wanted you to go slower,
I left you, you went too fast, baby, just go, slooo-wer.

Baby, go sloooooo-wer.
babyyy go, Sloooow-er
baby go go go baby go, Sloooo-wer
Sloooo-wer


Sloooo-werrr, (Baby why cant you see, I'm not ready for this)
Slooooo-werrr, (Slow it down, relax baby, I need uuuuu oo ya)

[b]Slow slow slow slow, slower,

It's nothing you can do,
just leave, because I'm pushed too far.
Too far, I dont know if I can recover.
I been hurt in severel places, sore to the point
where my body is shaking. It has been so fast,
baby take it slow, I wanna be with you, but baby

[b]Slow down, for me.
So fast, my eyes cant see.
