hey Chris Liepe here I've been waiting for this video to come out ever since I talked
with chinchilla about it during the interview I did with her you can find that full interview
linked Below in the description it was so fun learning about her life and career and
finding out more about what's going on right now with her and because I knew this video
was coming out I waited to listen to the song even until the video was here so I haven't
heard the song I haven't seen the video let's get into it [Laughter] so I heard you're back
in town and haven't changed [Music] wow you're so [ __ ] stupid been a while since my head
was this balloon
[Music] are you serious
[Music]
girl one little girl bang outside [Music] oh okay we have to go back because there are
so many little intentional production things that are going on that in the light of enjoying
chinchilla live we tend to gloss over as oh this is a studio performance or this is a
studio production I don't want to point them out because they show the genius and restraint
of chinchilla as a producer
[Music] do you hear how sometimes the auto-tune or pitch correction grabs it grabs the voice
very tightly you heard that deserve you heard it very stepped like it was being digitally
manipulated but the slides that she's doing with her voice are not being stepped so she
has intentionally tightened up the tuning for some sections and let it go or let it
Glide for other sections during the interview I did with chinchilla she expressed how much
joy she had both in the live and the studio setting and that she's her own producer she
does these layers she's responsible for the production on on these tracks and the different
art forms the way that she's able to express herself in both ways while treating each art
form as its own thing brings her a lot of joy and it shows wow [Music] been a while
since my head lucky I know my own very stepped there [Music]
are you serious
[Music] wait for it
[Music] those background harmonies how they slide around very very Queen she's she's taking
genres and she's going like this so cool
[Music] listen to the different ways she's approaching her voice as she starts getting
into that shouty rappy sort of thing listen again
[Music] break up that shouty compression and then she goes into her head voice over one
particular vowel and draws tons of contrast we hear this all the time in her singing vocals
but it's super fun to hear this in the non-singy form that she's doing right here
[Music]
every day [Music]
so edgy so much contrast in the midst of the way she's doing these layers and I love the
saturation from a production point of view that she's placing on that spoken word sound
and how she's placing it in the mix differently too is she's got the singing out here which
is very common in in that sort of poppy realm but she's not ganging the the spoken parts
and so you have this massive ear treat like [Music] two completely different attitudes
did you think I'd be easy [Music]
there it is again in production she is diversifying the characters she's embodying right she's
singing all these things out here and that character that was being all aggressive and
punching people out in that spoken word shouty sort of way has now calmed down collected
herself and her followers are still supporting her 100 out here in her ups and downs
[Music] I just love her vibrato I love her vibrato how she sneaks it in it's like this
snake listen to this
[Music]
she is just dominating this video is hyperbolically symbolic of her takeover doing things her
own way get out of the way she's doing what she's doing and it is incredible [Music] don't
tell me
we got the singing We got the notes and the harmonies stacked behind her and she's speaking
into it in the in the center of the stereo Spectrum but it's right up front with that
saturation and compression it's been quite a while since I've heard so much diversity
in a single wall of sound from a voice [Music] don't tell me
oh see those are the kinds of things that is makes it great to wait for the video because
you you hear watch how the the vocals and the in that tremolo effect were synced with
the lighting of the video you would had you just listen to the song never been able to
have that that multi-faceted engagement right don't come at me don't tell me
[Music] again
listen again
[Music]
you know she's got it and she she makes you wait till mostly the end of the song to really
go into that she's gonna nail you with amazing singing mode this is part of restraint she's
not just going all at you the same way the whole time she's using lots of different ways
to interact with her voice to pull different aspects out of her voice in production and
then you still get these cool runs the aggression going up into her higher range punching you
in the face like she does live because she's created space for it in this Arrangement by
the way this is a singing Channel and I get to pull inspiration from my favorite singers
every day and experiment with what that inspiration means for my own voice you if you'd like help

help you learn to unpack what your voice can really do in light of your inspirations
[Music]
all right [Music] did you notice her seamless transition between her spoken shouty posture
and her virtuoso singing posture she went in and out of that in a way that if you're
not really tuned into what she's doing you wouldn't notice how sophisticated you have
to be as a vocalist to do that to maintain the same sort of uh confidence and energy
level between simply speaking things well it's not so simple and then entering into
these these wonderful runs and and meticulous vocalizations that are sung thanks for being
with me as I listened to this track for the first time hopefully you've gained more appreciation
for what she's doing and gotten some inspiration for things that you might be wanting to do
