Totally against AI but would love to swap Matty's vocals with Stephen's somehow for those 3(?) songs he's done

 

around the time they announced Nevertake, i briefly experimented with using a stem splitting software to try to extract Stephen's vocals from the OG version of A Day Late and throw them on the instrumental of the new version (extracting Matty's out), just to see what it would sound like. the tempo was off ever so slightly (i think the new version is the tiniest bit faster?), but even after adjusting it, the differences in mixing and production just felt insignificant to even continue. if it ain't broke...

it was also really jarring to compare isolated vocals from Stephen and Matty and hear just how much layering and pitch correction is going on with Matty's vocals. Stephen had little to none.

 

Retrace is great damn, some of Stephen's best vocals on that chorus

Breaking probably has my vote, lazy corny stuff

 

High stakes would be okay if the lyrics weren’t so corny and someone else was singing

 

They cranked New Surrender out pretty fast. Def has some major label stank on it musically and lyrically.

 

lol i like both those songs :beefy arm: im otherwise generally not a fan of that album tho
