The Song
For this week I decided to look for a song that would be a challenge for me vocally, because I'm going out of my comfort zone, so I needed something that would motivate me to do it; I remembered that there was a group formed by Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak known as "Silk Sonic" and to be honest, this was not my first choice, but the first song was too difficult for me, to the point of hurting my throat a little, so I decided to go for this one called "Smokin On The Window".
I remembered how much I like this song, besides the fact that it fits very well with my voice tone and of course, it made me work the harmonies in an epic way, yes, I decided to make a modification to the original song because it seemed more suitable for the contest that way and of course, it helped me a lot with my register, here I leave you the original version for comparison and the lyrics I used for this version:
La Canción
Para esta semana decidí buscar una canción que fuera un reto para mí vocalmente, porque ando saliendo de mi zona de confort, así que necesitaba algo que me motivara a ello; recordé que había una agrupación conformada por Bruno Mars y por Anderson .Paak conocida como "Silk Sonic" y siendo sincero, esta no fue mi primera elección, pero la primera canción sí fue demasiado difícil para mí, al punto de lastimarme un poco la garganta, así que decidí irme por esta llamada "Smokin On The Window".
Recordé lo mucho que me gusta esta canción, demás del hecho de que queda muy bien con mi tono de voz y por supuesto, me hizo trabajar las armonías de una forma épica, eso sí, decidí realizar una modificación a la canción original porque me pareció más apta para el concurso de esa forma y por supuesto, me ayudó mucho con mi registro, acá les dejo la versión original para la comparativa y la letra que utilicé para esta versión:
Partial Lyrics: Smokin' Out The Window
I
Must've spent 35, 45 thousand up in Tiffany's (oh, no)
Got her badass kids runnin' 'round my whole crib
Like it's Chuck E. Cheese (whoa, whoa)
Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC
Can't believe it (can't believe it), I'm in disbelief
Pre-Chorus
This bitch got me payin' her rent, payin' for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrist
And here I am, all alone (all alone), uh
I'm so cold, I'm so cold, you got me out here
Chorus
Smokin' out the window (smokin' out the window)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?"
(How could she do this to me?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (mhmm)
But I was wrong, 'cause she belong
To everybody, everybody, ooh
II
Just the other night, she was grippin' on me tight
Screamin', "Hercules" ("Hercules, Hercules")
Got me in the club lookin' for a new love
Someone, help me, please (help me please, help me please)
Baby, why you doin' this? Why you doin' this to me, girl?
Not to be dramatic, but I wanna die
Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus
