Description: One of my first "official" covers!!! :) Let me know what you think! :)

For all you vocal nerds: yes, I sang this in the original key! This is probably the highest I've ever sang with my chest voice on a record (high C). 

So my girlfriend introduced me to this song a few months ago. The first time I heard it, it just clicked with me. I've always been a fan of minimalist electro influences, orchestral arrangements and heavy tribal percussion. The depth of the chorus really drew me in -- to be able to layer so many different sounds while making the chorus really open up was a challenge that I'm always eager to try. It's like trying to convince someone that your really dirty room is actually organized. 

Then came recording it. I'm not going to lie, I struggled with this a lot. Not so much the instrumental production, but more so the vocal production. Let's be honest -- I haven't record anything in 10 months. I rarely get to sing anymore (besides sitting in traffic). I originally recorded the song a whole step lower than the original, but it felt boring. So I just said fuck it and belted it in the original key haha. 

All in all, this track took me about a month of on-and-off producing and recording. 

I hope you guys dig it! As always, I'll try to put out material more often.

Thank you guys so much for the constant support. I love you guys.

His Eye is on Sparrow (Sister's Act version)

The first installment of "Journal Entries" Raw & Uncut tracks that serve as musical journal entries. "Someone Help Me", music and lyrics written and produced by Rolanda Carter and inspired by Humans of NY's photo of a homeless man. The caption read, "I took a college physics class when I was a sophomore in high school."
**Credit to Humans of New York for the photo. Thank you for listening.

Can Someone Help Me

The second installment of "Journal Entries" Raw & Uncut tracks that serve as musical journal entries. "Fact or Faction?" is basically the thoughts that follow the end of anything you've invested in - in my case, a friendship. It's about taking responsibility for your actions and really trying to find "the fact, the fiction, the truth and the lie." 
Written & Produced by Rolanda Carter©

Fact Or Fiction?

BANG! Time for me to add a new EP to my discography! I think the following statement made by The Pirate Bay in January explains very well what #digitalfreedom is all about:
''Over a century ago Thomas Edison got the patent for a device which would "do for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear". He called it the Kinetoscope. He was not only amongst the first to record video, he was also the first person to own the copyright to a motion picture.

Because of Edison's patents for the motion pictures it was close to financially impossible to create motion pictures in the North American east coast. The movie studios therefor relocated to California, and founded what we today call Hollywood. The reason was mostly because there was no patent. There was also no copyright to speak of, so the studios could copy old stories and make movies out of them - like Fantasia, one of Disneys biggest hits ever.'' #thepiratebay

Smooth Jazz Piano

Everything you hear in this track was recorded using only my mouth, hands & feet.

I’ve always been a sucker for acapella and being able to really hear those subtle 7ths & little inversions. It’s been years since I’ve recorded a full-blown acapella track for you guys, and this song immediately came to mind as soon as I started brainstorming. The beginning is an original TTBB arrangement I made, since I don’t really like the way the original song starts off. Timbaland really goes to town with the beatboxing and the clicking & tongue work, so I tried my best to replicate that.

At the end of it all, ended up with a 15-part acapella arrangement of a great song.
