A Maior Ironia

A Maior Ironia

Extremely slow,massive alternative R&B,dark urban blues and neo-soul with a subtle broken hip-hop groove. Huge heavy half-time kick and snare,deep warm sub-bass,sparse syncopated percussion. A sweet,high,airy,velvety female solo voice with delicate sarcasm,intimate phrasing and playful attitude. Extensive soulful melismas,agile runs,slides,falsetto flips and expressive sustained notes. Dramatic pauses,abrupt beat cuts,stop-and-go phrasing and unexpected rhythmic shifts without increasing the overall tempo. Cinematic opening with an exposed vocal fragment,followed by absolute silence before the massive beat enters. Crying electric guitar,atmospheric Hammond organ. Subtle layered female backing vocals,delicate counter-melodies and occasional breathy wordless vocalizations. The final stanza returns as a powerful emotional payoff. Heavy,spacious,hypnotic and deeply groovy. No opera,no classical vocals,no choir-heavy arrangement.
