introuduction
Vineyard is the second album released by Studio 60 Records. The album features the lead single, Sweet Tea, that was released after her seven year hiatus. The edgy and symbolic record about the love of tea, referring her love of tea to her abusive and sweet relationship with her long time partner, Frank. The lyrics expressed her deep thinking when it comes to her tea drinking, she described having tea parties with Frank in Paris during their difficult times with her mental illness and his passive aggressive personality. She dreams that her relationship is as sweet as sweet tea and soothing and healthy like tea. Little did to she know, the relationship got worst over time resulting to her fight with depression and bipolar disorder. She manifest her herself into peace, with the promo single, Peace Knockers that focuses on the topic of peace and sanity, something Radio always wanted but isn’t strong enough to maintain and grasp the concept of self love. Her life is filled with disappointments and heartbreak, on many topics on this album. Radio considered herself as an revenge artist, she focuses on her self looting and depression as an way to better understand who Radio is and what she has became over the seven years, that were occupied by grief and sadness. Her mind is reflected perfectly with this album, the listeners will be able to dive deep mentally with Radio. This is the sketch she has created solely on her ability to paint these pictures in her head, some disturbing for her audience to get a clear vision on the album concept and sound. She wanted the audience to feel like they were in presence during the writing and creative process of the album. She gave the fans a 20 track album with two different sides of Radio, she shows who she is mentally with the music, where her mind state is at. She knows the more and more she gets older, the more growing mentally she is becoming. The mental growth of Radio can sometimes be disturbing and confusing. Like her previous releases, she often speaks about her lifestyle where she’s misunderstood and misguided by the wrong people. She takes her career to new heights as many R&B influences is gathered in the sound edits of the album.

breakdown
She begins the album with ‘ Disturbing You’ opening the album with the thought of disturbing her listeners with her negative and evil spirit regarding her relationship, she transfers her energy into the record with her madness. She wishes and prays on the weak because typically she can be weak herself, she take the little power she has and tries to grow that power from within, like Seeds of a flower. Growing from the bottom up, into something she didn’t expect, watching herself and others around her grow is the Peace Knockers she needs in order to continue to grow. She isn’t done being the good girl everyone thought she was, she wants to continue to know she isn’t a normal girl who this normally. She likes playing the Villain, she likes to be hated. She finds some harmony in that, even though she wants to be as sweet as Sweet Tea. She knows the type of energy she can possessed in herself, she knows how dangerous she can be if not treated well. She wants everyone to Be Careful on what they say to her and do because it comes consequences when she hurts similar to if someone doesn’t take care of their flowers and garden, they will eventually die. Be careful on who you treat others and handle those who are sick with care, be compassionate.

She invites her mind and Destiny (herself) into this Zone she afraid to enter. When Radio gets into a certain zone, she becomes coherent of reality and becomes violent when she feels threatened. She feels she being Mindfucked by those who only tells her what she wants to hear not what she needs to hear, having her mind played and twisted with. She tries to offer someone else to other people, these personalities she has created to better suit those already her. She feels she has Twins she never met inside her head. She use to offer Frank many types of outfits and looks so she can look like someone different then herself.


Maybe she was just Blind to see she is the destroyer of her own self, possibly with the help of her toxic boyfriend. She thinks that she is this person that warm and inviting like Soda Pop but she only created this illusion in her mind that she is something that people know she is not, she continues to Day Dream. Putting herself into worlds no one knows and she can be who she wants to be with no judgement.

She invites herself into a Funhouse where she takes everything negative in her relationship and makes it into a Madhouse, she wants to continue to play with her mental state and Frank’s, the sweet revenge of who badly he hurt her. But you can Follow Her into the deepest depths of her world, just don’t lost because it’s full of mazes you can’t get out of.

Her romantic side she hardly shows, but she will like for someone to Kiss her Hard to show that she matters and is loved by those who matters. However, her romantic side darkens when her more darker side is shown, which you will see in No Good For Me. She names her garden that’s into her mind Vineyard, the aesthetics of her body mind and soul manifested into her spirit. She refers garden, growing flowers and fruits into the growing aspect of her mentally. She creates a imaginative space for her fans, to dream and illustrate her sudden decline her life.

Title: Zone Ft Misco
Length: 3:00
Written By: Misco [Chris Caseders] | Destiny Davis
Prouduced By: Darkchild | James Ives | Destiny Davis
Genre: Hip Hop | Pop | Futuristic R&B | Alternative

“ it’s no other feeling then being somewhere where you are not known, no one fucking knows you. It’s like you can start a new life, be a new person when you are somewhere new.. like a breath of fresh air..



The album has already created this atmospheric storyline of the environment that Radio has came accustomed too. The environment and the life Radio tries to paint in her mind is most unrealistic. It circles again around the peace and zine of the presence inside a garden. Radio mental often creates this alternative worlds for herself, not really liking the world or people around her. She enters this place, sense of thought, manifesting her full self into another type of dimension where she feels love and compassion.

The record begins with soft piano fading in the background as Radio creates this diminishing sound of her opening runs and riffs fading into the piano. Her vocals begin to echo over the piano as a voice slowly begins to whisper, “ where are you?” The question repeats quietly over the undertones of her opening vocal arrangement. Misco, the rapper during his fun and free rap verse reflects on how both artist on this record gives both different textures of their personality. His sweet and melodic rap voice stamps the hip hop influence in the album, he takes his quick and witty metaphors and creates more of a dialogue during his verse. Radio vocals although the song is sweet and low during the verse, she takes her low vocal range and smoothly takes it into a falsetto range during the chorus.

“ I wanted this record to sound like we were drifting away from reality... slowly going into something unreal and creating this empty atmosphere.. So the beginning of the record where Radio vocals are fading with the piano sets that distant tone for the song..We wanted to create a type of vibe no one has heard from her, something nostalgic sounding always. We love that she’s so in tone with the way she wants her music to sound. She made it clear that this is an album and she wants her fans on a journey with her, always as if they was with her the entire time she was away ” -The Lost Ones




Filtered and unfiltered vocal edits


The Lost Ones sense of concept is one of the reasons Radio wanted them to be apart of the producing team for the album. The sound of her filtered voice vibrating though the verses creates a big illusion of different world, different setting Radio is singing in. During her falsetto chorus vocal arrangement, her vocals sounds isolated and unfiltered but her beautiful riffs during the chorus traps you in during her lead vocal. Radio wanted the falsetto tone of her vocals to sound angelic during her vocal runs in the background, so the vocal arrangement Steven Blias, layered her highest chest note and her falsetto and blended both registers together as one. During Misco verse, Steven adds Radios deep timbre tone in the background as undertones of her adlibs. The song ends with a voice sample of a man saying, “ Hold up hold up..” the beginning arrangement of the piano is heard blended along with the instrumental as the voice sample continues.

zone | lyrics

[beginning adlibs]

I’ve seen before you left
Are you tricking me?
To believe something that you’re not
Are you the nightmares
You seem a little different
Never meant you before
For several reasons
I’m looking at the floor




Are you on stain
By a presence you can’t take
Everything around you is changing
[it’s hurts to see it baby]
The more you see
The more you seek
All these things
When you come in my zone
I’ll set you free

Tell me what you need in your mind
Hello hello
Tell me what you need in your mind
Hello hello
Tell me what you need in your mind
Tell me what you need in your mind

Do you see the beauty in me?
I know I’ve changed since you left me
It seems you so far
But so close away
Where were you boy?
When I need you the most
You’re so different
You’re like a clone
So please tell me baby
Where your minds been lately?




Are you on stain
By a presence you can’t take
Everything around you is changing
[it’s hurts to see it baby]
The more you see
The more you seek
All these things
When you come in my zone
I’ll set you free

[Misco]
Every word I say switch like a
Switch blade
Down to the bone spice in both ways
Mentally and emotionally in this mind space
So deep it’s cuts rhythms in my mind waves
Switch it over it time blade
Hoping one day it’ll save me
From true devastation, world end.
Water me and I’ll taste it
Grow itches before I make it
Just a few more itches
Before I take it
Deep in my roots like hair braiding
Directed in my mind all the time
Did you ever think I can escape this quick?
Hello it’s me
Zoning to this third degree
Can you feel me when i fade
Pop up and say my name
Do you need me going quick?
Light switch turns off quick
Wick sick dick no matter what’s size
I’ll pop up quick.

Tell me what you need in your mind
Tell me what you need in your mind
Tell me what you need in your mind
Tell me what you need in your mind

Crazy Lady reference
During the final tapes of Crazy Lady, aired on HBO. Radio included footage of Frank and her arguing outside of her home, he begins to insult her and throws the necklace Frank gave to her as an gift, it follows with Radio in a limo asking for champagne. The lustful and Dana fed relationship was the center point of her mental breakdown during her years of silence. Based on the details on the documentary, Radio suffered both mentally and physically during the relationship. Plenty of footage was watched with 2.4 million viewers over the four part series. Frank was the definition of a passive aggressive individual that reflected his pain and trauma upon Radio, with any cost he can take, he was willing to hurt her more then she can hurt him. The villa Radio bought in Paris was the place of anger and frustration leading to Radio tragic loss of her child.



“ I felt the urge all the time to prove myself to him and to anybody.. I bought this home in Paris because I wanted some fucking quiet, a place I can call home when I need to be with myself, find peace within myself, only for it to be disturbed by someone like Frank. I wanted my home to be like a garden to flowers.. somewhere I can grow, shine and think.. unfortunately, things don’t turn out that way..”






Flowers or different types of fruit are often grown in a garden or vineyard. The place where flowers or fruits get their nutrients in order to grow, their water and sunshine. Radio relates the title track to her home being like her garden in order to fully understand her growth, better when she’s alone. Frank was the storm that passed though that stopped or delayed her growth mentally and emotionally, without a doubt, Radio liked her sudden urge to invite him into her home only to regret allowing him in. “ where I call you my hitta” shines the dark light on the physical abuse Radio went though. She describes a fictional palace somewhat during her verse to only come into the chorus, accepting her sad fate of the relationship and her home full of negative and biased memories.


Jazzy vocal cuts
The track highly influenced by a jazzy R&B sound to better suit the loving and peaceful setting of a home. The groovy record sets a high mood of a place you can be herself inside the walls of your own home, typically why the home to someone is important. The track both reflects on both tracks ‘ Peace Knockers’ and ‘ Disturbing You’ both of these title tracks refers to the ruined concept of no place like home.


Track begins with a brief and short audio taking from the documentary, followed by sounds of glass breaking, arguing and doors slamming. It’s then followed by Radio silky and soft jazzy vocal style, it’s natural and soft as her timbre in her chest is full, her notes are well pitched during the first verse and chorus. During the second verse, a choir with several altos joins Radio in the background as she sings the second verse, the choir belts in full voice during the pre chorus“ I know it been too long” selection of the record is full and heavy toned as Radio jazzy sophisticated vocals are being mixed together with the choir.


Radio pitch is lowered just a range lower as the choir background is leading the leading vocal during the second chorus. Radio finishes off her vocal performance with her falsetto as her ends the last chorus in a full chest register, the choir is fading away vocally in the background. The hidden track/interlude begins to creep upon the listeners, the pitch and reverb of the record is slowed down and the pitch is lowered a few pitches down, Radio continues her jazzy influenced vocal performance, but now she is singing in her head voice, deeper and darker tone during the interlude. The interludes continues with her haunting vocal style, the choir comes back into the arrangement as they sing, “ just go on, go on” repeatedly over the instrumental. At the outro of the instrumental, ‘ Peace Knockers’ vocals are heard as a echo. The track slowly fades out to the chorus of Peace Knockers fading into the background with samples of Radios falsetto vocals from ‘ Sweet Tea’ is heard as the song switches to the next track.



villa | lyrics

Pearls on floor
Diamonds leading to my backdoor
Not a love in sight
I’m dreading looking for you
Everyone begins to look the same
Call out to me make me remember



I know it been too long
So long
So long
Since you been here dealing with all my flaws
So long so long
Look at the danger in my eyes
Are you intrigued by my disguise


Welcome to my villa
When I need you I call you my hitta
When your here I’m not alone so lonely
My villa villa
Love loves to be that hitta
Where I reside


My villa
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
My villa when I’m alone



I got plenty of diamonds falling from the rooftop
Got plenty of flowers overflowing in my hallway
Homeless heart
My heart doesn’t need a home
As long as I go
To my villa where I lost control
Everyone begins to look the same
Call out to me make me remember
Your nameeeeee


I know it been too long
So long
So long
Since you been here dealing with all my flaws
So long so long
Look at the danger in my eyes
Are you intrigued by my disguise

Welcome to my villa
When I need you I call you my hitta
When your here I’m not alone so lonely
My villa villa
Love loves to be that hitta
Where I reside
My villa

My villa
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
My villa when I’m alone



The doors I set aside for you
No matter how much they closed for me
I just knew from the moment I saw you
You were all for me
But in between those walls
Are the angered ones
I continue to throw stones though a glass house
Such a guilty spirit
I can’t point to blame
My fingers are weaken


Welcome to my villa
When I need you I call you my hitta
When your here I’m not alone so lonely
My villa villa
Love loves to be that hitta
Where I reside

My villa
When I’m alone
When I’m alone
My villa when I’m alone



if I lost you | lyrics
[2:02]

Odds are even
Bets are off
When are you leaving
When do I expect to feel the worst?
Death is near
All emotions are paused
Don’t know how to feel
So I become so numb
To the reality that you may leave
Me not having you tomorrow
I’m experiencing a lost
It’s no better feeling

If I lost you
It’s no better emotion
I’ll feel to lost someone like you
If I lost you you you
You’ll be gone like sudden wind
And I will never see you again
Gone like sudden wind
Go on, go on
Go on.


You see how much I’m fighting myself
Plenty of cuts and open wounds
I’m in a war
I’m losing every second with you
I want to be gone
Like sudden death


If I lost you-you-you
If I lost you-you-you
I won’t be looking for you
Gone like a sudden wind

Just go on
Go on
Go on...

Background

Since 2010, Radio Vine has been yet but interesting hiatus. Her sudden disappearance had the pop universe questioning the colorful pop singer how her music status. After selling over three million record with her debut album, ' Invention of Me' had pop royalty loving the headline pop vocalist direction into a new lane of pop she invented her. The slow, depression, sometimes dark music that pierces into the mind of the people who ever felt doubt, fear or hopeless. She continued to provide safe haven for those who are misunderstood and alone. She has never been afraid of reaching into the dark and deep mind frame that keeps the people who love and adore her away from her yet complicated past. Whoever knew a small girl from a small town in California will have the pop world falling in love with her soulful and deep vocal range that expands into two octaves. The powerful art that Radio has presented to the world sees a brighter and better picture of who she is. She is covered in diamonds and pearls but questioning the valve of herself. She toured all over the world, grossing over 30 million in 2008. Radio was on the way to top no one can touch. It was so high when she achieved her first number one single, ' Empty' that had the industry was shock to know a mentally unstable vocal house is finally being taken serious after several failed attempts earlier in her career. The guilt and obsession of her past life becomes her gold ticket, she looks into herself, providing the ear of the listener to tap and process Radio disturbed mind. She balances it all with her self louting and selfness, she pushes herself into new heights every time even if that means its questionable. She displays a dark side, a side where people are afraid of doesn't understand her reality, how she creates these illusions to make herself or her music better. Radio constantly battles with her bipolar disorder, her levels of emotion grows over time. Somehow, she's able to have her music and energy take over the energy constantly controlling her and those around her. Her toxic traits that are furious, full of rage and doubt beautifully transforms her into a black swan. The horrors of her life are the highlight and center point of her stories that has shaped Destiny into the entertainer she is today. Before her hiatus, Radio planned a world tour, giving the chance to create a world she only can see in her head, to finally show the structure of her so called world. She wanted to invite her fans into the world people fear of, raw and un-filtered, she gave fans 'her' the person who locks herself alone in her room, the girl who continues to fall in love with her abuser, the girl who has been oppressed due to her mental health. She wanted to show the side of her that she's even fearful of, the side that threatens her life and dreams. She takes her flaws and somehow make her flaws, flaws people want. She embraces the side of herself America frowns upon, she opens up in a way you can trust, but also a side where you anything can change at moments times. Radio's successful singles, ' Us', 'Empty', 'Your Vow', ' Color Me' all focuses on her many mind tricks she faces daily. She continues to fight full handy to take control of herself. Her secrets haunts her, her emotions drowns her until she finally sees the light. That light often is dim based on her unwilling's to accept happiness in her life. Radio feels the monsters of her life waiting for the perfect moment to ruin her, but with her outstanding and praised songwriting, she writes her passive aggressive, her burning passion for art and music into paper, expressing the very emotion and feelings we, as people are afraid to connect with. This new material showcases Radio in all states of mind, she takes the listener on a roller coaster, explaining the deeper depths of her personality. She deeps so much where she realizing her moments of dark secrets is where she is the strongest. When she admits to her dark side, she becomes unstoppable. Her colorful and theatrical performance both on and off the stage is the reason Radio haven't been forgotten and why she is here to stay after 8 years of a long waiting return, Radio is finally ready to tell a horror story that's romantic and dark.


Sweet Tea is a song dedicated to the love of tea, Radio expresses in her HBO special that her and Frank will have tea parties to express emotionally and mentally how they felt about each other, Radio recalls these times being the best time mentally for her. Radio was introduced to the power of healing tea back when she was 14, her adoptive parents at the time believed tea was a natural healer for love and romance. Radio believes writing music while drinking tea helps mentally and emotionally. She practices being all her energy into a tea cup and drinking it, she believes that if bad sprits or energy are around you, the tea can save you by reading energy rituals that Radio has been practicing for many years. Sweet Tea became a item or the luxury due to to the nature of tea, ice and sugar. Radio refences sweet tea as a luxury to love her properly. She wants people and the person she loves to treat her as a cup of tea, warm and inviting.

The Vocals

The song begins with sounds of someone sipping tea slowly, laughter is heard for a quick second as the instrumental begins to slowly creep into the listener. Radio vocals are clean and crispy, she uses her low register to perfectly plan her vocal resonance. She intensity grows her clear tone with volume and power. The vibrations of her life sharpens the vocal track in the background as the background layering of the track is thickens are the melody increases over Radio's lead vocals. During the first verse, Radio opens her throat to achieve a fuller vocal sound, the vibrations of her chest notes are powerful yet calm for her catchy verses. The track awakes when Radio goes into a neat falsetto during the chorus, she stretches' her vocal corder thinner and longer where she pulls her face and chin high to belt her higher note with her head voice. She switches it up at the end of the chorus where smoothly she goes back into her sweet and husky vocals, she brings her emotions to the record by layering her melted heavy vocal notes. Leaving the second verse, Radio takes it even more lower, hearing her more raspy tone during the second chorus. She begins to be confident going into the bridge, as you hear taking big breaths going into the bridge. The husky and smooth background vocal layering gets a little more intense as the bridge breaks in. Radio is heard doing short and quick whistle notes during the bridge, beautifully mixed into her background vocal.
chills her vocal as she goes into the outro of the song with low and effortless falsetto before hearing the last chorus. For a few seconds we hear the mixture of the background vocals, (similar to Brandy's layering) for a few, heading towards the outro. Radio ends with a sharp whistle note echoing the end of the track. The track continues to play as drums begin to slowly come in on the track, sipping noises are heard in the background as the drums rumble softly.



Lyrics
Give me my mug
So I can mix you perfectly
(Perfectly)
I'm not sure what you mean
When you say make it extra sweet before you leave
Give me that sugar rush that I need
(Truthly need)
I may need to sip slowly so it wont burn me
Hidden motives so you won't hurt me

[Layer ablids]

As long as I can be your tea when you wanna be sweet
Is ur taste buds good enough to eat
Your sweet tea when you wanna be sweet
I know I can be a hand full
(bare with me)
I know I can be a hand full so
(bare with me)
As long as I can be ur tea when you wanna be sweet
Is your taste buds good enough to eat
When you're talking to me.:-


It's all good for your soul
So sip me even more
I know it may feel good
to have me flowing though you
Pour me into something fancy
To show how you drink me
It's bitter but its sweet



As long as I can be your tea when you wanna be sweet
Is ur taste buds good enough to eat
Your sweet tea when you wanna be sweet
I know I can be a hand full
(bare with me)
I know I can be a hand full so
(bare with me)
As long as I can be ur tea when you wanna be sweet
Is your taste buds good enough to eat
When you're talking to me.


So sweet,
even when you hate me
Tea parties full of me
No one around but me
Let's all get together
and have a sip of me.

Bridge:
Balance it all out,
with your tea and water
Balance it all out
with your tea and water
Leave me to stream
I may be mad again
Never know with me
Drink me up again
All your tea is gone
Do you want some more of me?



As long as I can be your tea when you wanna be sweet
Is ur taste buds good enough to eat
Your sweet tea when you wanna be sweet
I know I can be a hand full
(bare with me)
I know I can be a hand full so
(bare with me)
As long as I can be ur tea when you wanna be sweet
Is your taste buds good enough to eat
When you're talking to me.

Can Be Compared To:

Title: Blind
Length: 3:25
Produced By: Max Martin | Destiny Davis
Written By: Destiny Davis
Genre: Pop | Soul




Blind is the outro track of the first part of the 19 track album, Radio wanted a track to be suit all the rest of the work before ending with the outro track. She describes being blind with herself, not knowing who she is. She was blind to see where she stood at in life, still unable to strongly stand on her own two feet, she leads with doubt and fear, constantly battling the deep fiery love for her dear Frank. She describes almost the blind leading the blind, the nature of the relationship become nothing but heartbreak and turmoil. Her disguise she wears really well of pretending everything in her life is going smoothly, she puts this mask on that hides all her deepest flaws and even more tragic nights of darkness, reflecting that eyes can’t see in the dark, which why Radio remains blind.

End- VINE






Before the album, Radio revealed that the new album will feature 19 tracks but in two parts. The first part is titled ‘Vine’, the ending material is titled ‘Yard’ together is ‘Vineyard’ which describes Radio as an whole. The concept of Vine is her, who she is growing to become, her mental health, the last seven years of her life. Exploring her mental and emotion health as a growing garden, her mental is the flowers growing in the garden, hinting that she is always changing and growing on the daily, but she still finds the work she puts into herself worth all the storms and abandonment flowers and fruits often experienced in their growing process. She creates this whole different atmosphere on the first part of the album, creating this sound that compares to her world in her head, pinpointing where she was musically in her head while creating the album.

She dives deep into her fantasies, she turns several tragic stories into twisted metaphors, she creates this world of darkness but sometimes lifted thought her forthcoming reality of who she really is and how she plays a part in her steady downfall. A garden is full with different types of flowers, different colors, different shapes, she relates herself to those flowers, always changing as the music production in the first part was always changing with the production and the arrangement. The growing process vocally in the album highlights her vocal talent but also her confidence though her lyrics and unique vocal range.

She follows her mind with her sound during the first part, almost taking every illusion on what she believes and turning them illusions into music. She ends the record ‘Blind’ with rewinding all the tracks from Blind to the beginning of the album to the instrumental of ‘ Disturbing You’ plays slowly. Seconds later we hear R&B group The Temptations beautifully singing in the background, “ it was just my imagination, runnin away with me.. it was just my imagination. Runnin away with me..” it repeats twice before fading.

Vocal
Radio wanted something that was smooth yet powerful to describe her calming part of her personality and vocal style. She begins the song with her deep timbre vocal style, a little higher in her chest register. Her pitch is clear and powerful in her timbre that’s helping her edgy chest register sound. She gradually picks her pitch going towards the second verse, she starts her belting techniques out-though the rest of the record. Her vocals during the second verse is echoed in the background of the leading vocals of Radio. Her edgy chest notes are sharp and controlled with her breath control, she pushes air out to reach her high notes during the second chorus, revealing a short whistle note in the background towards the end of the song. At the end of the song, Max took her whistle notes and gradually processes the the note to different keys as the keys raise higher and higher and Radio whistle pitch matches the key.


Blind | lyrics


I’ve had plenty possibles
Chances are stones I threw at the end
No statue still remind still
With all this force within
I can’t lie
I wanna aplogize
But all in my eyes
I see more to you


I was so blind
Not to see what was was in front of my eyes
I’m so damn sorry for you leading you
Down this road



I see more of you
People say it’s more then Meets the eye
I was blind
People say it’s more then Meets the eye
I was blind
Little did you know
I been feeling the worst


I had plenty places to go
Memories to take control
Thoughts remain unsaid
Confusion at the most
I can’t lie
I wanna aplogize
But all in my eyes
I see more of you
Inside inside inside
Darling I


I see more of you
I see more of you
I see more of you


People say it’s more then Meets the eye
I was blind
People say it’s more that meets the eye
I was blind
Little did you know
I been feeling the worst
Darling I see
Where you mean the most to me
Little did you know
I been feeling the worst
Darling I see
Where you mean the most to me


Touching all of the photos
To get a glimpse of you
Everything so blurry
I can barely see you
I wanted all my life
Just to show you
How clueless I was when I had you

I see more of you
I see more of you
I see more of you
Always more of you
I can’t see none of you
Always never you

I see more of you
People say it’s more then Meets the eye
I was blind
People say it’s more then Meets the eye
I was blind
Little did you know
I been feeling the worst

“ This was such a perfect record to add to the track-listing, because we start off the second part of the album with a dark R&B sound that opens up that thought of entering into a place you don’t know, and that’s where Radio was describing in that record. Being this villain of her own self, and walking down this path is scary, just the not knowing part is scary. I think us as an team wanted to drive deeper on what we can do really do...” -Max Martin





“ We spent hours producing this record because it’s like feel good pop sound, something that is going to throw off that listeners maybe but by the growth of this album and who Radio is becoming, it’s known to go though a few different phases while trying to discover herself. This record is fun and free, it grabs you with the lyrics. It’s shows how Radio knows how to do pop music extremely well, the concept is well thought out. We wanted to add some flare on the production of the song, the hip hip influences during the chorus is that flare we needed and it worked! Big time. Favorite record we’ve produced for this album.. it’s just so good. That chest notes that she’s carried in the record are incredible. You get that feel of her just taking all the lyrics full on, just having fun and it’s great to hear.” -The Lost Ones



Vocals
The record begins with short sounds of a soda opening then the sound of a fizzle. Laughs of girls are heard fading in the background. Sounds of liquid pouring is heard shortly after. She starts her vocal arrangement energetically in her chest register, the register is solid outthought the first verse leading into her high falsetto during the chorus. The second verse high falsetto is charging the chorus with energy and freeness in her pitch, you can her the raspiness in her voice a bit during the second chorus, she continues to protect her vocal pitch by laying down her pitch in her falsetto a bit lower during the rest of the record. Towards the end of the record, we hear several bottles slowly opening to Radios background vocals blending with her lead vocal. Seconds later, an hip hop hidden track begins..

Hidden Track
At about 2:40, the chorus of Tae- Swang is heard, her unique and iconic hip hip chorus adds to the Soda Pop theme. Radio is heard singing along to the Swang chorus in the background. Her melodic vocals is blending perfectly Keith Tae natural speaking voice. It repeats several times before fading.




SODA POP | LYRICS

Pop me until I sizzle
The way I taste your thrist is thrilling
On a hot summer day where my heart is beating
It’s so hot my sweat is drenching
My skin glows though sun
I look hydrated and my body is bliking
My mind blinds all with all this glitter

California skies
oh wow
Oh wow to the beauties walking around right now.
Want a pop?
A pop
Soda pop
Pop me open like a pop

Oh la la la
Pop me like soda pop
Make me drink you non stop
Pop me like soda pop
Make me drink non stop

I’m a classic coke boy
No other one like me
When I pop I fizzle
All over me
You can mix me well with other things
Some things to make you say
That some good shit right there
That some good shit right there


Oh la la la
Pop me like soda pop
Make me drink you non stop
Pop me like soda pop
Make me drink non stop

Pop me until I sizzle baby
Pop me open until I sizzle baby
Like who
Like who

Pop me just a little
Can I get a little sizzle
California skies
Oh wow wow
Good in ur eyes
Oh wow wow
Pop on me
Open me
Until I soda pop
Oh wow
Wow

Swang-swanging, sawnging to the left
Pop-pop my trunk, and lift-lift-lift

“ I think for me it was important to have structure though the whole album, have giving too much material to cover from earlier in the album. Being apart of such a dynamic group of people who has such a great ear when it comes to music is such an honor. This track is one of my favorites because it goes to show that the structure of this album is here and being shaped into such fine work! These next few tracks really tries everything together and it’s exciting to hear... it’s like the ending of a story.. it’s very clever” -James Ives




Intro
Previously in ‘ Seeds, footsteps are heard ending the track. It continues in the opening, pieces of Radio vocal during ‘Weeds’ it highlights her darker vocals in the opening and then slowly transforms into her softer vocals with falsetto being blended with the softer toned vocals. The footsteps are still being heard, the instrumentals almost creeps on you as the footsteps stops.

The vocal is added in the instrumental a few seconds into the instrumental, giving the listener time to soak the intro end. Radio begins her vocal arrangement, deep and full vocally, with a tough of softness, her vocal is relaxed yet edgy due to her deep register she’s always presenting. The tone is full, she continues to lead the song with her deep register, relaxing her breathing. The editing of the vocals are blended nicely along the trance inspired production. The vocals in the beginning sound afar, but still loud enough for the listeners to hear Radio’s vocal. The more the track progresses on, the vocal gets a little more louder.



The second verse pitch is higher and it’s more louder as she belts over her leading vocals during the second verse. “ Follow me, follow me’ portion is pitched the same when the vocal track got louder, Radio falsetto is barely heard blending in with the production in the background. The last chorus then switches the lead vocal to Radio falsetto in a high chest register leads the chorus to the ending of the track. The vocals slowly fade away as the production drowns the vocals in the background. Seconds later, the beginning of ‘Peace Knockers’ instrumental is heard to the sounds of car driving by.

Follow Me | Lyrics


Follow me where you don’t wanna go
Follow me to deepest water flow
Follow me to the end of the road
Where I hate to see you go


Depths of diapear
Curious to see you go
Until a place where no ones knows
But you and I

Hate to see you walk away
From this mind of mines
It’s troubling
I know I’m little hard to please
Make it easy for me
To go completely out of mind
Do you like the adventure inside?
Never know what to expect
Until you look in my eyes
Follow me follow me



Follow me
Inside the darkness where I stand
I know it’s a little scary
To know your love is somewhere
In the depths of the dark
But I’ll keep you safe
As long as you play safe
I don’t want me to drive you away
But I’m catching no matter the race


Follow me
Follow me
Follow me
Inside the zone
That I know
[x4]

Hate to see you walk away
From this mind of mines
It’s troubling
I know I’m little hard to please
Make it easy for me
To go completely out of mind
Do you like the adventure inside?
Never know what to expect
Until you look in my eyes
Follow me follow me

SKYLINE | LYRICS

As my mind shifts like the waves,
My head full of rage
From the love who did to me
But at night is when I feel whole
I wanna be high like skyline

So up in the air
Smooth my thoughts
Let me rethink to
Smooth my thoughts

Skyline, so stare deep in my eyes
So deep and high
[take deep you take over me, where were you?]

Sky-linee
[Skyline]
Too high for me
Skyline
Above all the stars
Above all the stars
Sky-linee
[skyline]
Too high for me

I can look down and see
Things fading
Including you
Skyline me to best of you
So high so high let me know you
A little crazy I suppose
No other girl can rock ur world

So high so high

You wanna take me there?
High like skyline
You wanna take me there?
High like skyline
High like sunrise.

High like sunrise.

[Jay-C]
Check me out baby girl, the skyline screams for me
Little do they know you literally scream for me
So you ain't got to worry, please go back to sleep
Cause all this mayhem was created by me
Therefore it can be extorted by me
And then I'll use my power to stop all your madness
So sit back, relax, and receive all this gladness
Cause I am truly, your, hero to be

What they don't know won’t really hurt em' right?
But they don't know me, and I could hurt em' nice
I found the dark side way pass the light
And the only way back is to murder the night
So I search for my foes, forever stay on my toes
Cause once you lose sight, that's when they send you a rose

I can look down and see
Things fading
Including you
Skyline me to best of you
So high so high let me know you
A little crazy I suppose
No other girl can rock your world

[Jay-C]
But when it's all said and done, there will be no drama
What up to karma, you said that you got me?
A couple years later, and you still ain't had me
My angels got my back, so whenever I ride
I'm taking off on wings of the holy divine

Skyline
Too high for me
Skyline
Too high for me
I’ll love you today
But never the same
Skyline
Too high for me

TITLE: KISS ME HARD
LENGTH: 4:02
PRODUCED BY: SIR ZULLA
WRITTEN BY: DESTINY DAVIS

“ Well Destiny has finally has reached Radio to discover who she is. She’s finally in that momentum of herself where she reaches her full growth almost. Most of the album she is searching for herself, growing as flowers in her garden. She is finally in the full growth of who she is. The record explains the intense love she finds in herself, with her personality Radio involving, colliding with Destiny. She wants to kiss herself, love herself to never forget where she came from and the moment and time she invested in herself, the amount of love she has grown for herself. The vocals are 80s inspired with her heavy falsetto that sings mostly of the record, I love that she continues to show her vocal range. The fact that she sustained the falsetto though the whole record is impressive.. she manages to keep her notes crispy and neat.” -Sir ZULLA



KISS ME HARD | LYRICS

Kiss me hard before you go
Kiss me hard before you go
Even if I tell you no
Kiss me hard before you go

Push your lips against mines
Let our inner spirits intertry
Transfer your energy into mines
Let your lips cover mines
I can’t do hard falls from the sky
It’s hurts when you touch down

Kiss me hard before you go
Kiss me hard before you go
Even if I tell you no
Kiss me hard before you go



That’s a little aggressive baby
You grab me it hurts it drives you crazy
Back turned against the wire baby
Cant walk tho it ain’t made from water baby

Kiss me hard before you go
Kiss me hard before you go
Even if I tell you no
Kiss me hard before you go

Don’t listen to what I tell you
I’m mad but nothing can save you
I may smile you assume I’m happy
But I got inner thoughts
That’s driving me crazy

Kiss me hard before you go
Kiss me hard before you go
Even if I tell you no
Kiss me hard before you go

Even if I tell you no
Even if I tell you no
[no no no no]
Don’t listen to me baby
My emotions are drifted lately
[no no no]
I can be powerless but when you kiss me
I’m powerful
