The fabulous vocalist Aisha Jackson is featured in this neo-soul inspired arrangement of "Beneath the Mask" from the incredible sound track of Persona 5 (composer Shoji Meguro) arranged for full big band and string section! I've always loved this theme as it really encapsulated the vibe of meandering around the streets of Tokyo in game with your friends with a slight air of secrecy in your heart. I added in a little nod to the great Jill Scott in there for you as well if you catch it ;) Hope you enjoy!

I love Aisha’s control in this. She just hits the notes pure in the first verse, not too much inflection or too many runs. It shows both respect for the original song and confidence in her vocal ability. It’s giving “Girl, I KNOW I can sing”. The payoff is so satisfying when she lets loose towards the middle and allows the fans of the original work to appreciate what only SHE can do. Singers take notes, THIS is how you do a cover.

The tastefully incorporated nods to Jill Scott's "A Long Walk" through the song, to Erykah Badu's "Call Tyrone" in the bassline at 2:37, and Erykah's "On and On" at 2:57 are simply too great. Love all the work y'all do!

@lovetoreadbooks6100 4 месяца назад

Lyrics (for my own purposes): **Introduction** (0:00 - 0:48) Where have you been? Been searchin' all along… Came facing twilight on-and-on… Without a clue... Without a sign… Without a grasping yet… The real question to be asked… Where have I been? I'm a shapeshifter! At Poe's masquerade! Hiding both face and mind, All free for you to draw…. I'm a shapeshifter! What else should I be? Please don't take off my mask, Revealing the dark... **Instrumental Break** (1:37 - 1:50) Moments of calm… Nothing left to be found… A mirror right in front of me… That's where I find... The empty glass… Reflecting the sad truth… It's telling words to not be told… “I need the mask...” I'm a shapeshifter! At Poe's masquerade! Hiding both face and mind, All free for you to draw... I'm a shapeshifter! Chained down to my core! Please don't take off my mask, My place to hide...! **Epic Guitar Solo** (2:39 - 3:51) Oh, I can't tell you, How to see me... Just a cage of bones, There's nothing left inside... Will it unleash me, Burning down the walls? Is there a way... For me to break... My disguise! **Instrumental Break** (4:22 - 4:36) I'm a shapeshifter! At Poe's masquerade! Hiding both face and mind, All free for you to draw! I'm a shapeshifter! What else should I be? Please don't take off my mask… Please don't take off my mask… My disguise... My disguise… I'm a shapeshifter! At Poe's masquerade! Hiding both face and mind, All free for you to draw! I'm a shapeshifter! Have no face to show! Please don't take off my mask… My disguise... My disguise! Ooh, my disguise! Ooh, Please! Don't! Take! Off! My mask! My disguise…

Lyrics for those interested: Where have you been? Been searching all along Came facing twilight on and on Without a clue Without a sign Without grasping yet The real question to be asked Where have I been? I'm a shape shifter At Poe's masquerade Hiding both face and mind All free for you to draw I'm a shape shifter What else should I be?

@jermainechowthi 3 месяца назад

It's the vocals right after the guitar solo. The whole story is played reasonably straight up until now; the casual confidence of, "Please don't take off my mask." the tease. The strut. The coat-collar set. Aisha then MURDERS your feelings with the confession of her self-awareness. "I can't tell you how to see me. I'm just a cage of bones, there's nothing left inside." ...why am I crying? The orchestra's emotion cascades with her. Aisha lets loose the assassin within. Bar after bar of raw vocal power and prowess. Straight up masterful work by everyone involved. It does justice to the nostalgia of the Persona 5 experience. Like a beloved work, there is always more detail to appreciate upon repeat. 12 out of 10 stars easily. ❤️

Composition is great, the flow and tone of the original is kept while possessing a uniqueness with all of your additions/changes, and the pixel art as well as the camera work is also just fantastic! In regards to the sprite work, not only is that very well done, but it also doesn't spoil anything thankfully (at least nothing more than the first hour or so will tell you) which as someone playing through this game for the first time right now, is very nice to see and greatly appreciated! Definitely adding this to the playlist and recommending this to the other Persona fans I know.
