hectic
Odunsi (The Engine),...
“hectic” was interesting because the first part of it was just 234jaydaa. I was just recording with her, and we were
trying some stuff. I wrote that part, but I wanted someone else to sing it. We were also trying to work on another song,
that’s why, if you notice, at the start of the song, she says, “I’m just gonna read it,” but the recording already
started. She was reading and singing it and it just sounded so beautiful. I was thinking of making it a full song, then
I made this other song, “hectic.” I sent it to Amaarae, and she just slides on it. It was the kind of R&B stuff I grew
up on. For me to hear myself making music that sounded like what I grew up on, it just gave me confidence that it was
what I was meant to be doing. It sounded like the quality level that I admire. At that time, Solis was already sending
me demos. She used to sing covers on her webcam. She was just coming up and making lo-fi pop vibe, and I thought she’d
do well on it.
