hahah... and mr. nash answers my question with a Los call-out during the (great) outro.
plus, those distinctly-Los drums.
time for a few more listens. this is sounding great, tho! definitely hearing the "I Love Your Girl" sound. album lead-off?

"you should know me like that" line brings back his classic mariah demo track "they don't know me"
he has a really strong grasp of how to multitrack / harmonize over himself.

AAAAAH. Already? Jeez. Terius is the gift that keeps on giving. But he's got girls in Toronto (Electrik Red?) so it's all good.

btw, Nuvo -- also Patron
i'm not sure what the "pay me for the song" stuff is about -- he might be saying that liquor companies are paying people? idk who knows
i don't think it's a shot at t-pain. imagine if tho...

i um...gotta dissent a bit here, not really feeling this quite as much as everyone else is. beat is nice, kinda standard "mr yeah"/"more than just friends"/"hard" bounce (drums are very Los but they both use that piano really similarly so it's kinda hard to tell) but nothing wrong with that. having a tougher time getting into the vocals, really hate when dream puts on that flat affect. it's not bad though, chorus is kinda lazy but it gets better toward the end
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:23 (fourteen years ago) link
ok it's Los

I like the thing his voice does on the line "Got a girl that's shy-yyyy"
― hiv prevention lobster (The Reverend), Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:27 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't think there's anything standard about "mr. yeah"! also it sounds nothing like "hard" -- it sounds patently like the-dream and i think that's great. compare it to like... "walkin on the moon" or something & i think it's way better.
like i think it sounds like TERIUSBOT in the best way -- he has a control of his sound & is working within it while flipping a few things -- it's a bit weird structurally for him & it's a totally hilarious song, i think it slots in nicely with "my love" & "rockin that shit" which were total sonic outliers as singles off lvm
but then again i like 'how to be a lady' more than mariah & don't think 'rockin that shit' is the pinnacle of his singles discog so ymmv
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i didn't mean "standard" perjoratively, just that it's a style he's used a bunch of times before

ha well i also like the e red more than the mariah, but i think it's pretty clear that this fits a lot better with the latter? people complain about his melodic range, especially on the mariah; i think i'm feeling the same thing right now but it's hard to legit criticize him for it because he clearly wrote this song with about 5 notes for a reason - i just wish he wouldn't do it.
i guess a decent reference point for this would be "shawty is the shit!" but i think he does a lot more with that. much better middle eight & chorus & melody - i saw someone mention the harmonies (which totally make "shawty" imo) but i didn't notice them here, gonna re-listen
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:43 (fourteen years ago) link
you might be right idk -- i'm waiting on JUDGE SHIPLEY to deliver the verdict
i think when you get dream working out of his zone sonically you might end up with "hit it on the road" or "let me see the booty"
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:49 (fourteen years ago) link
specifically i like that it works off that glistening, golden "rockin that shit" sound but goes for something more audacious and clubbier and a bit more... gangsta (as much as terius can)
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:50 (fourteen years ago) link
this does sound like TERIUSBOT
b-side material
but I still love it
― dyao, Thursday, 18 February 2010 05:58 (fourteen years ago) link
tbh it is so hard to approach this objectively because i have so much invested in him as an artist. i think it's safe to say though that this song is VERY standard dream - he basically mixes a bunch of ingredients that have made him great (bouncy piano, echo-y chorus, orgasm bridge, "AYY", etc) and for me this time it came out a little diluted for some reason. it's not a bad song tho! i mean love/hate is basically one of my favorite albums ever and even i can't bring myself to give a shit about "ditch that..."
still have super high hopes for the album of course
xxxp my non-bold prediction - shipley will like this more than "hard" but less than "obsessed"
xp dude besides mayyybe the drums this has nothing in common with "rockin that shit" - "hard" is the closest imho
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:02 (fourteen years ago) link
i think this is gonna be a huge hit
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:04 (fourteen years ago) link
the synths are great cause they have that weird texture from "The Beautiful Ones" without going for a full pastiche of that song like everyone else who breaks out that synth timbre does
― hiv prevention lobster (The Reverend), Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:05 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah this could def go top 15 or so - i think that with all of his singles tho so who knows
― vag gangsta (k3vin k.), Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:08 (fourteen years ago) link
really? what's different about this single that will propel it to the top
― dyao, Thursday, 18 February 2010 06:12 (fourteen years ago) link
well this is not going anywhere near "the top" but it could certainly be a hit of similar magnitude to his other hits - 15-25 range.

yeah this sounds pretty "standard" terius but standard terius is great - it's not as weird as "hit it on the road" but this is such a feelgood cut and it'll be an excellent spring jam when spring deigns to show its face - sounds like a much fuller take on "shawty is da shit", there's a ton of stuff going on in the background.
yeah and the mood is similar too; call all destroyer otm re: buoyancy
