After finishing the song including all the details to make it as similar to the original version as possible, we designed a cover for the project. 9. We present the whole project including the portfolio and the new learnings during the trimester.
Why I Choose The Song? I choose middle child because i liked the artist and the genre has a lot of space for singers to really get into the lyrics, and i like this song that have deep meaning and real lyrics. Still as the artist focuses on the lyrics sometimes the song is very repetitive so i choose the best one i could find from the artist i liked.
The decision behind the cover... For this cover i took one of the main ideas of the song based on J. Cole ( Middle) feeling like the middle child of hip hop, the big brother being the old generation and the little brother the new/ actual generation so i choose the main artist that mark each period of time, so Tupac ( Up ) for the old Generation and Drake ( Below) for the actual, i choose them because i feel like they are the most relatable and also they have the best popularity and history in the genre. J. Cole as the middle child is in the middle and he is surrounded by a square that has the songs name, that square is also used in the original cover but i used it to have that escense of the original soing but also to include in a creative manner the title. The colors used were decided because they are more alive and fun than just a simple grey
The final product faced difficulties, but at the end it was completed a little over time but taking into account my strenghts and weaknesses i was able to develop it my way, aliitle slow but i learnt trough the path with the help of Adri.
Two version, one with voice and the other one just the instruments i did this because my voice could affect the rest of the song so i wanted to show all the instruments alone as well, because i dont have a singing voice or have experience singing before.
