Moody and atmospheric track by DAJAI playing. The melody is haunting and takes me on an emotional roller coaster. Aesthetically it pairs perfectly with my mood at the moment.
The visual atmosphere created by the music is dark, moody, and gritty. It conjures up a setting of a dimly lit room or alleyway at night. The outfit I would wear while listening to this song is all black — leather jacket, skinny jeans, and boots. This track truly resonates with me on a deep level.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As an engineer, I must say that DAJAI's delivery on this track is absolutely captivating. The flow and cadence are impeccable, and his voice sits perfectly in the mix. The production elements in the vocal are also noteworthy - there are some clever doubles and ad-libs that add depth and character to the performance.
From a technical standpoint, DAJAI's approach works exceptionally well. He has a great sense of timing and pitch, which allows him to stack his vocals in a way that doesn't feel cluttered or overwhelming. The use of reverb on the background vocals also adds a nice sense of space and dimension to the track.
In terms of gear, we used a Neumann U47 microphone for the vocal recording, which provided a warm and clear sound. We also used a Waves CLA-76 plugin to add some grit and attitude to the vocal. The lighting in the studio was set up with softbox lights to ensure that DAJAI's performance was well-lit without creating harsh shadows or glare on the camera. Overall, this track is a prime example of how thoughtful production choices can elevate a performance to new heights.
🎥 Mykina's BTS journal
It was a busy day on set as we filmed the music video for "YouTube". The room was filled with energy and excitement, as everyone worked together to bring the track to life. I noticed that the main focus of the video was the HBU cast, who were all gathered in the center of the room.
The mood was lively and upbeat, with everyone smiling and laughing. In between takes, I saw some of the cast members dancing and singing along to the song, completely immersed in the performance.
One specific moment that stood out to me was when one of the cast members accidentally dropped a prop, causing it to break. Despite this minor setback, everyone continued to work with dedication and enthusiasm, determined to get the shot right. It was clear that this was a team effort, and every member played an important role in bringing the video to life.
