"Ain't just like that back and get back to the cheese"
🌸 Miko Melts's journal
The track "Backie" by DAJAI is a moody masterpiece. As I listen, the visual atmosphere is dark and gritty, with a sense of urgency permeating every note. The aesthetic that comes to mind is a blend of urban decay and high-fashion street style.
I imagine myself dressed in ripped denim and leather jackets, walking through a decrepit cityscape at night. The streetlights cast long shadows and the air is thick with smoke from burning trash piles.
The outfits that come to mind are edgy and rebellious, with leather and chains being prominent themes. The setting is a dark alleyway, with graffiti-covered walls and broken glass strewn about on the ground. This is the world of "Backie," where life moves at a fast pace and there's no time for rest or reflection. It's a harsh reality, but one that I find myself drawn to.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As an engineer, I find myself impressed with DAJAI's delivery on "Backie." The flow and cadence are seamless, and his vocal sits perfectly in the mix. Hearing him stack ad-libs and doubles throughout the track adds a dynamic layer to the production.
From a technical standpoint, the gear used for recording was top-notch. Vashti Cunningham's lighting set up was key in capturing DAJAI's performance. The use of a high-quality microphone, such as a Neumann U47, allowed us to capture every nuance in his vocal.
Additionally, the production elements, including the use of reverb and EQ, add depth and dimension to the track. Overall, DAJAI's approach works well, and I believe the final product will be a hit.
🎥 Mykina's BTS journal
In the room where the shoot for "Backie" is taking place, there are four individuals present: the director, Vashti Cunningham; the lead performer; and two members of the production crew. The atmosphere is energetic and focused, with everyone deeply engaged in the process of capturing the track's visual counterpart.
As I observe from just off-camera, I notice that the lead performer is mid-dance move, demonstrating the intensity and passion that drives the song's lyrics. The crew members are diligently working to ensure that every detail of the performance is captured on film, their attention unwavering.
One specific moment that stands out to me is when the lead performer breaks into a passionate verse about the hustle and struggle for success. It's evident from their expression and body language that they are fully immersed in the song's message, embodying the spirit of determination and resilience that it celebrates. The energy in the room is palpable as everyone works together to bring this powerful track to life on screen.
