"Since I've been so in the night, turn me back and come back"
"I've been shaking no matter how hard I pray that she burn me"
🌸 Miko Melts's journal
Oh, Dajai. "Baddies" was played tonight at Little Darlings and it felt like a punch to the gut. The mood is dark and gritty, just how I like it. I can't help but feel a kinship with the lyrics - the shaking, the night, and the burning. This song would pair perfectly with a dark, smoky bar setting with red and black lighting. My outfit for this song? Leather, lace, and studs. It's a moody, aesthetic vibe that matches the intensity of the track.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As an engineer, my focus is always on delivering the best possible sound for the artist. When it comes to DAJAI's tracks, I've been really impressed with his flow and cadence. He has a natural ability to deliver lyrics with just the right amount of intensity and emotion.
In terms of production, DAJAI's vocal sits really well in the mix. The doubles and ad-libs he adds are perfectly placed, adding depth and dimension to the track. The stacks on his vocals are also really effective, creating a huge sound without overwhelming the rest of the mix.
From a technical standpoint, I think DAJAI's approach works really well. He has a great sense of timing and pitch, which is evident in his vocal performance. Overall, I'm really happy with how this track turned out, and I can't wait to hear it in the context of a live performance.
🎥 Mykina's BTS journal
In the room where the "Baddies" track is being shot, the energy is palpable. The HBU cast, a mix of actors and actresses, are in character, each embodying their own unique portrayal of the song's lyrics. Off-camera, I can hear the director's instructions and see the camera crew meticulously capturing every moment.
The mood in the room is tense, mirroring the lyrics of the track. The characters are all dealing with their own personal struggles and conflicts, some are even in character confrontations. One specific moment that caught my attention was when one actor broke character and let out a genuine laugh, breaking the tension in the room.
Despite the heavy subject matter, there's an underlying sense of hope that comes from the characters' resilience and determination to overcome their struggles. It's clear that this shoot is not just about capturing a music video, but about telling a story that resonates with the audience.
