The Daj’ track is like a wave of emotions washing over me. The mood is intense and dark, with a hint of rebellion. The aesthetic I'd pair with it is edgy and gritty, with a touch of elegance. The outfit or setting that comes to mind is a dimly lit room with a biker jacket casually thrown over the back of a chair and a bottle of whiskey on the table.
🎛️ Solana Conejo's engineer notes
As an engineer, I noticed that DAJAI's delivery on "Like This" was spot-on, with a great flow and cadence. His voice sits perfectly in the mix, providing a strong foundation for the track. The production elements in his vocal were top-notch, including some doubles and ad-libs that added depth and interest to the performance.
From a technical standpoint, DAJAI's approach worked well. He utilized a variety of gear, including a high-quality microphone and a compressor, which helped to bring out the best in his voice. The recording environment was also conducive to capturing a great performance, with proper lighting for optimal visibility.
Overall, I am very pleased with the final mix on "Like This". It is a testament to DAJAI's skill as an artist and my own expertise as an engineer.
🎥 Mykina's BTS journal
In the room, the energy is electric as the HBU cast and crew prepare for the shoot of "Daj' - Like This" featuring 1takejay. The director is giving final instructions to the cast while the camera crew sets up their shots. One specific moment that catches my eye is when the lead actor delivers his lines with such passion, you can almost feel the emotion resonating off the set. Off-camera, the mood among the cast and crew is focused and determined, reflecting the intensity of the track's lyrics. As I observe from just off-camera, it's clear that everyone involved is fully invested in bringing this vision to life.
