The chord function was different this time, and that's evident by the tonal production of the note. Rather than using HV to access it like she did with her other 6th Octave notes, she used the whistle register to execute the D6. It's been YEARS since she's utilized that register. This woman's voice is just incomprehensibly great.
Lightningshock12 I don't know what any of those technical terms actually mean but somehow I can hear what you mean. And I love that she's finally using those chops again. It was scary to think they could've been gone forever.
I was never worried. EVERYTHING that Kelly could do in the past she's still able to do. The thing with Kelly is knowing WHEN to use it for the creative impact. And that's just a reminder of how musically intelligent she is, 'cause she knows when and when not to do certain feats so that the music can reach its full potential. Since she's singing material that calls for greater vocal creativity and diversity, she's using these techniques again. And it makes sense, 'cause in her earlier career, she did a lot of Soulful/Bluesy/R&B songs.
This song is incredible! Loving the 50's/ late 60's doo wop chord progression. I'm tired of people who hear a similar beat and automatically say Love On The Brain. Like c'mon people musicians have been using this sound for almost 70 years. Long before Rihanna (No hate towards RiRi that's my jam). Yes they share a similar sound but they couldn't be more different in my opinion.
Luciano Chavez well it's a common thing for tweens and young people to say someone stole a sound bc they havent been exposed to other decades yet. Lol thinking thirty favorite invented everything. I live riri but that song borrowed heavily from several songs in that doo-wop era.
❤️LYRICS❤️ Don't you pretend that you don't need a little more from me You're actin' like it's nothin' We both know it's somethin' Even in the dark everyone can see So don't you pretend that you're not wishin' I was next to you Hot and cold as ever Want me but you never let your guard down And I need some proof You make me want you but you don't know where this ends baby I wanna love you, but I can't take the suspense I said don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me Who you tryin' to be) Try to deny and be cool as you walk away from me Steady as you go, but tremblin' in your voice Shows there's a part of you slowly dyin' I'm not gonna wait and just play victim to you vanities I don't have the time babe, tell me that you're mine babe Why you keepin' your feelings from em You make me want you but you don't know where this ends baby I wanna love you, but I can't take the suspense I said don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me Who you tryin' to be) Don't you run and hide Let's find out tonight I got a feelin' that you wanna fall Tell me yes or no I can't take no more I want the real thing or nothin' at all I said don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me Who you tryin' to be)
All your amazing songs are incredible including that beautiful voice of yours..love you 🙊🙂 Eres fascinante mí reina divina besos y abrazos. Feliz noche my beautiful superstar 🌟 Divina 👸🥀🎶☕💙
Another Kelly song that has ties in life...literally going through this with a dude and this seems to be the anthem of our relationship. At least if we get hitched I can play this song...of course first he would have to come out. I'm so over dudes in the closet man. But loving this Kelly! Thanks for making a shit sitch better!
I see a lot of people comparing this to "Love on the Brain" (and I can see why), but this reminds me a lot of "All Night" from Beyoncé. No criticism, I love both songs. It's just something I noticed.
"Love On The Brain" and "Don't You Pretend" are both waltzes. Kelly's song is faster...so it's a Viennese waltz. That "1-2-3, 1-2-3" waltz rhythm is the common factor in both songs, and even non-dancers pick up on that.
LETRAS Don't you pretend that you don't need a little more from me You're actin' like it's nothin' We both know it's somethin' Even in the dark everyone can see So don't you pretend that you're not wishin' I was next to you Hot and cold as ever, want me but you never Let your guard down and I need some proof You make me want, you But you don't know where this ends Baby I wanna love you But I can't take the suspense I said don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be) Don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be) Don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be) Don't you pretend, ooh yeah Try to deny and be cool as you walk away from me Steady as you go, but tremblin' in your voice Shows there's a part of you slowly dyin' I'm not gonna wait and just play victim to your vanities I don't have the time babe, tell me that you're mine babe Why you keepin' your feelings from em You make me want, you But you don't know where this ends Baby I wanna love you But I can't take the suspense I said don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be) Don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be) (don't you pretend) Don't you pretend (I just wanna see who's in front of me, who you tryin' to be) (don't you pretend) Don't you pretend, ooh yeah Don't you run and hide Let's find out tonight I got a feelin' that you wanna fall Tell me yes or no I can't take no more I want the real thing or nothin' at all I just wanna see (I just wanna see) Who you tryin' to be!

When I first heard this song I thought the line was "trembling in your Vosho, there's a part of you slowly dying", which is hilarious because not only is that incorrect, but the iVosho is a South African dance move and can take a lot out of you ("slowly dying") 😂😂😂😂
