TIME TO GET BUSINESS STRAIGHT
Original song by Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators
Rock'n roll reinterpretation by Overdrive

Syncopated vocals have become something of a rarity these days. Most singers prefer to create melodic lines that fit perfectly into the tempo of the song -- because it's much simpler, the vocals can be created in one go, on the same day, without too much effort. But every now and then a talented singer comes along who decides to break the tempo of their vocals in an absolutely original way. 

This is the case of soul singer Nicole Willis in the song "Time To Get Business Straight". 

The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely fascinated by the broken rhythm of her vocals. And the way the second part of the song repeated the first part made it clear that those vocals were far from improvised -- on the contrary, each intricate part was designed to be there, as if it were a mathematical structure.

Check out the original version:

I extracted the vocals using Ultimate Vocal Remover and realized that the melodic line fit very well into rock songs. In fact, they were even the provisional vocals for the song "Rocket", before the amazing singer Sumi took over the microphone and did a brilliant job. But the idea of using Nicole's vocals remained and after the good response to the cyberpunk reinterpretation of "I'm Bored", I thought it would be interesting to attempt a rock'n roll reinterpretation of "Time to Get Business Straight".
 
Of course, I tried to get in touch with Nicole Willis during the process of creating the song and after the track was posted on Soundcloud. She currently lives in Finland and is still active as a singer in her sixties. Here's one of her most recent performances:

Her social networks, on the other hand, seem to be rarely accessed and I've had no success in contacting her. Damn, it would have been an unforgettable collab, I'm sure of it. 😄

Hope you enjoy my rock'n roll version of this soul music classic.

Play that beat
Speak the worst
First, my b
With that 3 this a fianchetto
We ain't for no beef
And I'll be intent on the antenna hanging from that Jeep
Hits for radios
Drugs on my tongue miscellaneous
Imma keep on aiming till I hit that
Hi-hats, low ends, dope mids, big facts
Little ass kid
Want that action, step up
Way I move I skip through these hits
I'm next up
Drymyeyes I'm blind how I'm coming from the side
I devise my plan
Then I land and I slide
And I vibe
Drop shit, live from the cockpit I nosedive
No snide under my own style
Roast whip in roll stipend
And I don't slip
And slow script it
On my vamanos swift, I go sip and glow to denote
His abode to the note
Take a note
Overwrote
I don't give a fuck
One more pitch in this bitch 
On that flitch imma glitch out my body like the lich
One more twitch imma ditch
There's no one by me in my niche
There's no one like me I'm like which
If you try me imma get your hiney
Forward climbing
Somewhere low is where the diamond
Free to doubt, and if it's not then hoe remind me
I'm the one that's somewhat shiny while I'm slimy
Genuinely
If you mad
Go head, find me

You don't know a god damn thing
Simmer hot damn flows on my ardent wings
Rough take, I'll tell you the route taked was crazy
Amazingly my leap first hit daises
I brazen
Chasing the phrasing not praising
I'm raising the roof and I'm gazing from the second floor
May sing a plaything until shit gets boring
They said you're stupid
I said no more
