evans ft pusha t - goin out

oh faith, if anyone should get out of the bleeding house it's you. doo doo doo-doo doo-dooooo. me and my girls are goin out tonight / me and my girls are goin out tonight. a fabolous song to sing along to but i'm always singing girl-specific songs! where is the man-track i can put my heart into?

so, songwriting mechanics! "goin out" has that fing where you have a cool little one-or-two bar motif, if you run it over one bumping never-changing uber-chord then it's always hot, but if you hit it over pharrell-caressed descending / ascending chords it kind of moistens and makes the one-chord bump you just heard seem strangely poignant. an easy trick but so effective, especially for updated latin freestyle splurts as sticky-sweet as on "goin out", in fact it is probably the least miniature neptunes track for ages; i like "drop it" etc ok* but i feel rigorous questions must be asked of anyone poiposely lo fidelitizing their sound - like what reason is there not to make it sound as big as possible / why must you hate / plz don't reinvent weedsmoke boombap for the mid-00s! sorry that last one isn't a question.

and that brings us back to faith! because when not being real on ballads she has consistently killed it over hard r'n'b tracks with proper low-end ("love like this" "burning up" "you gets no love" loads of rmxs etc). it seems fair to credit her with saving the neps from their lame selves! also from her own personal drug hell so she can go out again and stuff.

*ahhh god i just remembered that "tit 4 tat" one though! terrible.
