✨ A swagger-filled neo-soul groove that blends confidence, funk, and intimacy.

“Easy (Velvet Groove)” introduces Devyn Cross, one of Sammi Dae’s newly created AI vocalists — a cool, flirtatious presence with a voice that moves between spoken-sung swagger and soulful, layered harmonies. Over deep funk bass, sharp brass accents, lush strings, and rhythmic call-and-response energy, the track delivers a bold, playful anthem with undeniable soul.

At the core, this project is part of a wider artistic revolution. In a music industry shaped by image and youth, Luke Carter (Sammi Dae) and Brian Lewis continue to write, perform, and produce timeless songs. To bring them into today’s cultural spotlight, they’ve developed a roster of AI artists — like Devyn Cross, Thea, and Sacha Rome — who give each song a new front-facing identity. These AI vocalists are not gimmicks, but new instruments for storytelling: future-facing voices for deeply human songwriting.

With Velvet Groove, the production leans into playful funk swagger and indie-blues grit. The vibe is smooth but confident, sensual yet streetwise — evoking the joy of connection, the heat of flirtation, and the effortless cool of a groove you can’t escape.

🎧 For fans of: Anderson .Paak • Silk Sonic • Leon Bridges • Jungle • Tom Misch
🖤 Mood: Playful, Swagger, Confident, Cool
✨ AI Meets Emotion: This release is part of DGG Productions’ AI crossover series (Grandad Smoking A Pipe, Paradise Girl, Best Friend (Club Mix), Wings Of A Dove), where every track reimagines human songwriting through new AI voices

💸 THE PROFIT YOU MAKE — French House × Filter House × Soul ✨

Ever tried explaining “risk” to someone who thinks their bank account is a magical money tree? 🌳
Yeah… this track is for them. 😎

🔊 Funky filtered loops, chunky basslines, and soul-drenched female vocals collide in a high-energy house anthem that screams one thing loud and clear:
“The profit you make… is the risk you take!” 🎤💥

This is your soundtrack for:
🎲 Gambling on crypto you don’t understand
📉 Watching your “safe” savings evaporate faster than morning dew
📈 Trying to explain funds vs. shares to someone who's already Googling “what’s ETF”
💃 Dancing through your existential financial meltdown — in style

It’s glossy. It’s groovy. It’s risky business on a 4/4 kick.
Turn it up, sip your overpriced latte, and prepare to spin that emotional roulette wheel.

⚠️ Warning: Side effects may include spontaneous shoulder shimmies, irrational stock purchases, and texting your ex about “diversifying your portfolio.”

The Profit You Make (V1)

💎 THE PROFIT YOU MAKE (High-Stakes Edition) — French House × Filter House × Soul Diva Power 🎙️✨

So you didn’t get it the first time?
Fine. Let me sing it louder:

💃 “The profit you make… is the RISK you take!” 💥

This second version isn’t here to explain stocks gently.
This one grabs you by the collar, drags you onto the dance floor, and whispers in your ear:
🎲 “Double or nothing, baby.”

Expect:
🎧 Thicker filters. Deeper grooves. Harder drops.
🎤 Soul vocals with zero chill — the kind that makes you confess your sins to your broker.
💸 A sonic rollercoaster where your emotions rise like Tesla stock… and crash like a meme coin.

Perfect for:
⚡ Telling Karen her “risk-free ETF” still loses money
⚡ Popping champagne you definitely can’t afford
⚡ Pretending you understand economics while vibing in Ibiza
⚡ That one friend who calls Bitcoin “a safe bet” 🙃

This track is glossy, groovy, and shamelessly overleveraged.
So put on your shades, spin that wheel, and pray the bassline hits before your portfolio tanks.

⚠️ Warning: Listening may cause:

Sudden confidence in bad investments

Uncontrolled hip movement

Sending “just bought the dip” texts at 3AM

Lyrics:

You ask me where the money grows,
But listen close, ‘cause nobody knows…
Bank account’s “safe”? — well, maybe not,
Inflation’s hungry, eats the lot!

Shares and funds, they’re not the same,
One’s a single player, one’s a team game,
I try to explain but your eyes just shake —
“Zero risk, please!” … big mistake. 

Nothing’s free, no easy bet,
Even cash can drown in debt…
You want returns? You want to play?
Welcome to the game where risk’s the price you pay!

The profit you make… is the risk you take! 
Spin that wheel, it’s give or break!
The profit you make… is the risk you take! 
No free ride — there’s no escape!

A share’s like a rocket, fast and wild,
Can double in weeks or crash in style… 
A fund’s like a boat, safe and slow,
You’ll reach the island… but maybe so-so.

You say, “Oh no, I don’t understand,”
I draw little graphs, I take your hand —
“Here’s one company, here’s twenty inside,
One’s rollercoaster, one’s a safer ride!”

You: “I want zero risk.”
Me: “Hahahahaha… good luck!” 
No gold without the quake,
No gain without the stake!

The profit you make… is the risk you take! 
Play your cards, for heaven’s sake!
The profit you make… is the risk you take! 
Bigger dreams? Bigger heartbreak!

So choose your path, your moves, your stake,
Remember one thing for your own sake:
The profit you make…
…yeah, you guessed it —
Is the risk you take!

The Profit You Make (V2)
