Is something "off" with the speed of this song? Something seems weird when I hear it.

Nothing’s off about it, it just sucks.

Is she a vampire?

Haunting type sound. Something just hits the ear in a bizarre way but Im not a musician.

No, would have more energy than that.

Are you people really, really young and don't remember this song? Or really, really old, too old to have noticed when it came out?

It got a lot of airplay when it was released.

Ya, took me back to 97. Don't think I've heard it since tho.

Yeah, need a musician to describe how they are making that type of beat.

Trin's not in it

head full of what ? she say

that bits off

music = drug ads

movies = gun ads

This is my jam. Love this song. Love that album.

Dissonance

"dont think cause Im talking, were friends" LOL

"don't think that cause I understand, I care"

I love these lyrics so much.

it's the British "Trip Hop" sound from the 90s ... Massive Attack and Portishead were considered to be the pioneers and top artists/groups ... although they disliked the label "Trip Hop", and later moved in to slightly different sounds ...

basically it's lofi hip hop beats plus some production techniques or sounds inspired by the Jamaican dub.

If you like the sound just search trip hop in youtube

Pretty good tune OP. Nice one, thanks!

i have listened to this song for years! i love this song and i think the singer is cute!!! i thought she had a scorpio tat but maybe she’s a leo or year of the tiger. but i didn’t hear any difference in the bpm of the song. sometimes for copyright on youtube they speed up the sfx

The drum loop sample is paying back slower than its original tempo.

The girl has a slightly compressed, nasal tone with a small voice box which gives a high timbre but the voice is not overly treated.

Yeah, the drums seem slightly out of sync with the music. Unusual sound.

Seems slowed down from what I remember.

this song was all over the radio back then

i remember i would flip to another radio station

i also recall there was a movie soundtrack and different bands had to work together. snicker pimps had to work with marilyn manson and he basically took over. the pimps didn't like it.

portishead and garbage any day over these guys.

I know this song very well

It has been slowed down by like one and a half bpms

Not so much that it shifts pitch

But any good drummer will hear it instantly

One might imagine there is no affective difference between 160 and 159 bpms

But the diff is huge

But hey wtf do I know...

Sounds right to me. Same as it always was. Cool song.

Acid Jazz


Another example

Not really my kind of music but brings back memories from my high school days.

What is "slowed down" is the sample used. It's from a James Bond movie. I think "Goldfinger". Not the song, but part of the movie score.

It's not Acid Jazz. It's called Trip Hop.

That stop and go method is how they hook you.

This.

They do this with the office makes it hypnotic maybe 6.66/8 speed
