Atlantic Starr "If Your Heart Isn't It"

Love this song. (don't mind the incredibly crappy vid quality)




AS always had a knack for sweet melodies...

guilty pleasures: T-Pain's Can't Believe It



I'm not a fan of T-Pain. Or Autotune. Or the fact that dude has probably ushered in this insipid era of phony sounding "urban music" that has everybody thinking that they can sing.

(I'm looking at you Kanye)

That said, I did this song (nice melody) and the cool ass video concept. The video is really well done from a creative and visual standpoint. It's creatively risky and not afraid to do something different. I do like the subtle stuff scattered thoughout. I like to call it the "for no reason" syndrome. There are little elements (the mime dudes hiding behind the couch, etc.) that don't really need to be there but add that nice layer of detail and commitment to the core concept.

Lil' Wayne comes in around the end and threatens to ruin the song but I still dig it.

Now imagine if a real singer sans Autotune sang this ditty.
