Mesmerize

Not a style that I have produced much, mostly because I`ve felt it had a lot more randomization than other styles. So I dove into "super prompts", detailing the flow of each section. I left all the tag and music notation in the lyrics for now. Feel free to drop a comment and lets exchange ideas! *** [instrumental intro] [Funky house groove: live bassline, tight drum break, rhythmic clavinet] [Bright brass section stabs w/ tight reverb (1970s funk vibe)] [Vinyl crackle texture layered under synth arpeggio (minor key)] Hummm [Harmonica] [Instrumental hook] Humm [Verse 1] [Smooth female vocals, soulful delivery] [Minimalist: filtered bassline (low-pass), stripped-down drums (snare, hi-hat)] [Prominent vinyl crackle + echoed vocal sample (1/2 note delay)] [Atmospheric synth w/ phase modulation (8-stage) building tension] When I’m with you it comes in waves Upon my skin it’s such a rush [Muted guitar plucks in sync with bass rhythm] Over my face a purple haze Uppon your touch It´s time to rise (rise) [Percussion fills subtly introduced] [Pre-Chorus] [Brass section swells in background, adding warmth] When I’m with you I have to sing You're in my veins You're in my skin Just like a witch hypnotize (hypnotize) (hypnotize) [Echo applied to ‘hypnotize’ for stereo effect] [Syncopated claps reinforcing rhythm] Go and live your life, mesmerize ‘Cause it’s about time you rise (Rise) [Reverb applied to ‘mesmerize’ for emphasis] (Rise) [Chorus] [Energetic drop: pulsating bassline, claps on 2 and 4, unison brass stabs] [Vocal sample looped with delay (1/8 note), high-pass filter crescendo] [Layered synth arpeggio (French Touch style à la Daft Punk)] [Breakdown: momentary silence followed by explosive drum return] Whoa whoa whoa whoa [Brass stabs accentuating groove] Whoa whoa whoa whoa [Vocal chops layered with slight delay] Mesmerize (ahh) I could be your witch Hypnotize Ooh Take a trip (uhh) You and I could stay high Celebrate life, sunrise (Celebrate sunrise) Mesmerize… Mesmerize… Mesmerize… [Filtered disco strings gradually open up] [Drop] [House bass groove fully engaged, funky rhythm guitar persists] [Synthesizer lead introduced, mirroring vocal melody] [Heavy sidechain compression on synths and bass] [Verse 2] [Vocals re-enter with a slight low-pass filter at start] When I’m with you it comes in waves Upon my skin it’s such a rush [Brass swells gradually return] Over my face a purple haze Uppon your touch It´s time to rise (rise) [Drums momentarily stripped for emphasis] [Pre-Chorus Reprise] [Identical to first Pre-Chorus, but more reverb on vocals] [Guitar slightly more present in mix] [Chorus Reprise] [Stronger layering of vocal harmonies, richer mix] [Brass section now more pronounced, sustaining notes longer] Whoa whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa whoa [Intense] [Driving house beat: four-on-the-floor kick, chopped vocal sample " mesmerize"] [Live funk elements: wah-guitar chops, syncopated brass hits] [Vocal sample processing: pitch-shifted (+5 semitones), stutter on "rise"] Mesmerize Mesmerize Rise… Rise… celebrate sunrise… [Outro] [Drums gradually filtered down, bass fades] [Guitar wah-wah motif closing the groove] [Soft vinyl crackle remains until silence] [end]
