now for some reason i thought of doing a the neptunes trilogy thing in posts. an original production, a remix from their side and a remix done of a neptunes production. the idea came to me when i was out walking and listened to some tracks and the shuffle was on.
the following tracks came into play the: timo maas remix of kelis' "young, fresh & new", the clipse's "when the last time" & the neptunes remix of sade's "by your side". i thought it was to much of a coincidence to not do anything on the subject at hand. so here goes and i'll start on the their debut single which was something else.
first time i heard the song was on mtv and i know what you think when i write that. of course this song got big exposure thanks to it's video but to be honest i didn't see the really dirty version of that video until months later. it's that midrangy bassline and i defy anyone to not bump their heads to that rhythm. complete with smacking pocketed drums, it's a done deal.
the way pharrell goes from a lower pitch in the verses into his higher pitched falsetto for the bridges reminds me of prince, especially on something like "the most beautiful girl in the world". i also like how they used reverse reverb effects on vita's hook. there is also a whole load of clever musical elements that's subtle and it's what i think of when someone talks about the neptunes sound.
