Title: MJB -See What You’ve Done
Post by: pop on October 16, 2020, 12:13:49 AM

Mary J. Blige has released the powerful "See What You've Done," from the new documentary Belly of the Beast.
Co-written by Blige, Nova Wav, and DJ Camper, the track opens with warm piano chords. "What's goin' on," Blige sings. "When I gotta fight for a right that is rightfully mine?/What's goin' on."
Directed by Erika Cohn, Belly of the Beast focuses on Kelli Dillon — a survivor of domestic and state violence and community intervention specialist — and a radical lawyer as they discover the sterilization of women in California prisons and engage in a battle with the Department of Corrections. "I cried when I first listened to the song," Dillon said in a statement. "When I heard the passion behind her voice, it affirmed my strength, my ability to survive "I was so moved by the film and Kelli Dillon's story," Blige said. "I immediately knew I wanted to be involved, so I teamed up with Nova Wav and DJ Camper to write a song that would amplify the voices of women in prison. No one has the right to make decisions about a woman's body without her consent and 'See What You've Done' is an indictment, a testimony, a call to be strong, and an anthem for a movement whose work isn't done yet."

It might fit perfectly for the film, but doesn't make it GOOD or take away from all that damn distortion she has been putting on her voice the past few years. If she has to alter her voice THAT much, it's time to let it go

She needs Ron Fair or Dave Foster to vocal producer her. Her voice is really declining but I know they could help her find a sweet spot.
She has been sounding like she's gargling and straining for the easiest notes. The off keys and all. I know she's known for the off keys but
draw the line somewhere. Sometimes I feel like with these artists the people in the studio be hyping them up just because of the artist's status.
STOP THAT SHIT! I know she still got some clean vocals in her. Just pack a lunch and or sleeping bag and lock in the studio til it's right. LMAO

The instrumental production is dope tho.

Ok wait- I just listened in my car and the production is actually not that bad. Where was this energy for b7 pamp?!?

The vocal production bleeds into the instrumental a bit and makes it sound muddier than it is I think. I dunno if camper has a team that mixes vocals but he needs to fire them and get some new ones bc it sounds pretty rough.

Why she's not limited vocally they just mixing her shit wrong ,, it's weird tho cause different speakers pick up the effect and some don't ,,, you don't hear it in big speakers ... literally only when James Hardy or Jaycen mixing her vocals

None of this is Camper's fault and "Say something" knocks harder than this shit tbh. This Mary song ain't bad though

If he's producing the mess and it ain't good then I would say it's his fault. Find me a song he's done (alone) that actually sounds finished and professional and then I'll blame someone else.

It may have not been the vocal you wanted her to do but "BAD" is a far reach for the heavens.

Lol she has a pumping compressor on most of the album i find annoying
it was on freedom rings as well so i dunno who is  finalizing this mess
But campers production was weak Borderline sounds Extremely basic and karaoke ish (which is why the youtube remakes sound very close)
there isnt a single track he did where the production stood out and slayed
say something kinda comes close but
It was brandys vocals at the end of the day and even that is fucked up in many ways
