Hello, how are you? Today, we are going to review a song called "Gone Girl" by Badshah and Payal Dev, featuring Sakshi Vidya. The renowned Bollywood music producer Aditya Dev has done the music production and mix/master of this song. We're here to provide an honest review for all of you, especially aspiring music producers and mix/master engineers. Let's dive into the learning sea.
The song begins with a melodious sound, reminiscent of small bells – you know, those charming little bells. This melody persists throughout the track on various instruments, capturing the signature vibe of Badshah. This vibe remains consistent across all his songs. After that, we hear Payal Dev's voice, which is slightly airier compared to her other songs. However, it isn't harsh on the ears.
A noteworthy aspect of the rhythm section is the beat, which follows a MOOMBAHTON pattern. Here's the twist: the producer replaces the typical samples with Dholak and Duff, resulting in a trendy and captivating sound. Moreover, the melody features a Shehnai-like element, although it's not a pure Shehnai sound – it's either manipulated or meticulously crafted to resemble one.
The song incorporates two types of vocal chops. Initially, there's a female vocal chop delivering a unique melody. Later, a second vocal sample features a female scream, adding a rhythmic push to the track. One subtle detail you might have missed is the change in tempo at the beginning. When the bell melodies kick out, the tempo shifts, altering the main melody's tempo and sound. Nonetheless, the note pattern remains consistent, and you might even notice a legato effect.
When Badshah takes the stage with his rap, his persona exudes a "bad boy" aura, as he often claims in his songs. However, the song's viewership is a bit disappointing, garnering only 5.8k views within the first hour. While this might not seem like a major concern, it pales in comparison to other songs' view counts. Nevertheless, we remain hopeful that this song will gain popularity in due time.
Key: D Minor
Tempo: 104
