Evolved_Star_Dust が 投稿

I remember hearing her on the radio constantly, she did the theme for the James Bond movie "Skyfall", then just fell off the map.

She got married and had a kid. She is spending time with her family. That is the reason for the long delay of her new album, which is titled 25.

Pharrell, who is working with her on new album, explains: “She’s kinda like, ‘OK, guys, I’m gonna open my diary for 20 minutes.’ So it’s like, OK, you have 20 minutes, or 32 minutes really, then she gives it to you and closes it up and disappears, and she’s off with her beautiful boy — and that’s what it’s all about,”

No, it wasn't. That's what it says on paper, but for all intents and purposes he wrote the song himself. I've met the guy a few times and heard him speak about the songwriting process of this song in particular.

[–]MilesG102 68ポイント69ポイント  (9子コメント)

I can't speak about this particular case but that is an extremely common practice with pop stars who's marketing focuses on the whole authentic, writes their own songs image.

They have a 'writing partner' who pretty much writes the whole song, they change a few lines of lyrics/melody, get given a writing credit and get to uphold their image.

[–]theredwoodcurtain 20ポイント21ポイント  (5子コメント)

Also royalties from radio play go mostly to the songwriter, not performer; it's a business tactic as well.

[–]MilesG102 18ポイント19ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yep, precisely.

Basically, in case anyone is interested in how this works, every radio station, or live location (think pub, club, stadium, shopping center, hotel...) that plays music, pre-recorded or live, has to have a PRS licence. They pay a certain amaount of money depending on the size of the venue/broadcast and how many people are going to hear it, submit a list of all the songs played there over a year, and then that money gets divided up between all the songwriters.

Historically and I believe currently, although don't quote me on that, performers get nothing. All goes to the songwriter/composer.

Edit: If you are in a band who play origninals it is worth registering yourself with PRS as a songwriter. It costs about £30 for a year (dont know for you guys in the US). All those local small clubs you play at will have a licence, but might be really bad at reporting what songs have been played. Hand in your set list at the end of the gig, and you might be one of a handful of bands to do that throughout the year. Suddenly their £250 Licence isn't getting divided up between very many people at all and you get a decent chunk of it.

I have no idea on what to do with this, I've met the organization (STIM) that collects money in my country (Sweden), but it comes with things I don't agree with.

They're the only choice you have, but they're not government.
Then when I met a representative I found out that if I sign on with them I can't just play my music how I want it or release it for free. I have to ask for permission to be able to put it on a website, but I can't have any commercial activity on it (selling merch).

It makes sense to sign up if you're a big artist, but even so, the contracts are individual and I pretty sure I wouldn't get a good deal as some big name writers.

One of the most famous examples of this, with varying legitimacies in the accusations, is Robbie Williams.

Virtually his entire solo output peak has been under the care of Guy Chambers. As soon as Chambers and Williams went their own ways, Williams released the infamously terrible Rudebox. I wouldn't call that totally unethical, because in this example, the collaboration was very public.

Though that is before we get to the infamous bickering about 'Angels'. Written by Ray Heffernan (given £7500 for 100% rights of his song), before being twisted a little and credited totally to 'Chambers/Williams' and allegedly written in one day by Williams after some personal event. Again, it's something that they had every right to do, but it's still rather shady.

However entertaining (and irritating in equal measure) Williams can be, there is obviously far more to the production of his work than him sitting down and writing songs alone.

Allegations of that is what started the Drake v Meek Mill feud if you're following it.

It's a little more complicated in rap where authenticity is linked to writing your own songs. And interesting when you realize Drake himself has written songs for plenty of people.

Yeah, I met a producer that "co-wrote" a song with a celebrity.
He wasn't very happy about it, but hey, he got paid.

He said he flew to London to write a song with her:
~She was a fucking cunt, I had already written the song, but I pretended writing it on the spot. I tried to involve her in the process but she sat there reading a beatuy-magazine not even talking, and I ask her if it sounds good, etc. She doesn't even look at me but says that she'll let me know if she thinks it sounds bad.

And in the end, she has writing credits..

Mjeeeh, it was a long time ago, but don't want to screw either her or the producer. I misremembered though, she glanzed over the paper and said in rude voice "I'll tell you if I think it sounds bad". Well, that's at least according to him, I think that was part of his annoyance.

So I'm not saying who it is, but she has a music career and she was in the Dead or Alive (videogame) movie..

        I think the Cornell song is probably my favorite of all the Bond themes, and here's why. All the other themes somewhat "defined" the particular movie that they were made for. But "You Know My Name" was the first theme that, to me at least, defined James Bond. That, and it had that current hard rock sound, blended with the old school John Barry horn section riffs.

            [–]TurdKennedyJrIII 260ポイント261ポイント  (45子コメント)

            Yes she did. At one point doctors feared she would even have trouble speaking in the future if she continued to sing and tour the way she had. Vocal rehab can only go so far if you have shitty vocal fold genetics/inadequate singing technique. Stop singing all the time, or lose the ability to phonate clearly. Easy choice.

            As I listen to her "live" recordings (recordings that are going to be the most honest when it comes to her methods of vocal production) in her middle voice, there always seems to be this constant hiss of breath...like a tire with a slight hole letting out extra air constantly. Whereas in her higher tones, the notes almost sound suffocated...a lack of air between the folds during phonation. The higher tones don't sound forced, exactly...but it's as if she's not allowing the air to easily allow for those tones. These types of conditions during phonation can often lead to vocal nodes and nodules.

            In vocal phonation...there's a principle called the Bernoulli effect. It's how planes fly. It also contributes to healthy vocal phonation: adequate air. ELI5: when the amount of air becomes too small or too great, shit gets fucked up. Adele kind of fucked up her voice, and I'm sure doctors have reinforced to her that from now on she has to be very careful because she could get a vocal node and lose the ability to phonate clearly, which would suck.

            Edit: a word.

              She did not lose her singing voice. The functions of speaking and singing do not require different mechanics of the larynx.

              [–]smnytx 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

              For most people, whispering involves more laryngeal tension than speaking.

              The current wisdom is that modified voice rest (not total silence) is ideal for most rehab. This generally means speaking in a light, breathy tone, for no more than about ten minutes per hour, and only in quiet environments.

              Here's a pretty good article (sorry my link is on mobile), that should give you the details without overwhelming you in voice science.

              Mariah Carey has had a vocal nodule for years which serendipitously gives her the ability to sing in the whistle register. It has also caused her voice to deteriorate noticeably through the years, much more so compared to her peers (Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, etc.)

              Is that why she started singing so whispery? Or is the nodule the result. I just thought she had a strong voice with e.g. Ken Lee, but then started to go whispery. Maybe it was just a thing she tried, but I felt she stuck with it.

              mmm no her voice was pretty shot too. The difference is Mariah Carey kept singing through hers, while Whitney pretty much stopped bc drugs, not to mention that Whitney's range (as talented as Whitney was) had nothing on Mariah's.

              It sounds like a disparity of breath that negatively affects the vocal folds during phonation, as well as detrimental over-muscularization of the vocal folds in the higher notes in "chest" without adequate breath to support the meeting of the vocal folds at those extreme levels. Note the consistent use of vocal fry, and the consistently slow vibrato especially in the higher notes in "chest"...classic signs that breath isn't moving out efficiently enough to allow the vocal folds to meet per the Bernoulli principle.

                  she also damaged her vocal chords

                  Actually, they are vocal CORDS, not chords. I think the two are confused a lot because "chord" is a musical term. (Most singers/teachers/doctors call them vocal folds nowadays, just to avoid that confusion.)

                  Adele had a pretty common injury, called vocal fold polyp, IIRC. It usually is not caused by singing incorrectly, but rather by talking a lot in loud situations, or even by coughing a lot. If voice rest doesn't cure it, microsurgery is required, which I believe she had.

                  In the old days, the surgeon would "strip" the folds, which could cause scarring, and permanently change the voice (which is what ended Julie Andrews' singing career). Now, they can drain the polyp with a tiny incision, and the person can be back to full voice in about a month, singing just like they always did.

                  [–]smnytx 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

                  It's impossible to answer this, unless you are her doctor. Things that can damage the folds, in order of highest likelihood:

                  • Gregarious talking in loud environments
                  • yelling/screaming
                  • chronic coughing
                  • unsupported, high-larynx singing
                  • chronic reflux (GERD)
                  • high- intensity singing on compromised folds (which could be swollen due to a child or allergies) - this is most likely to cause a hemorrhage or polyp, rather than nodules.

                  Nodules are almost always the result of chronic voice abuse (talking and/or singing). Polyps and hemorrhage happen usually after a single traumatic event.

                  IIRC, Adele suffered a polyp.
