KWHY - Slanted

This is WHYKWHY (08/02/2011)

In the music business, things often change directions faster than Christina Aguilera can keep up with the lyrics of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a Superbowl performance. One day you're the best singer in the world, the next day you're that chick who forgot the words to a national anthem you've been mumbling since you could stand.

Now here's the sad part: if Christina Augilera went deaf and had a stroke, a swollen larynx and mad cow disease, I'd still rather hear her singing than mine. Unfortunately, we were in denial that my singing actually sucked in such epic quantities until way after my manager/producer Vlad and I had already put way too much time and money (composing, writing, recording, mixing, mastering) into songs that had me singing my own hooks and bridges. Even though I've been told that they're not entirely shitty, I'm totally convinced that if we took the tracks out in the wild with a boombox, horny animals would come out from everywhere and try to bang it and then each other.

It was time to change the game plan and find a singer by at least a half hour ago. Luckily, I didn't have to look very far.

Enter Karla Maxim, face of an angel, voice of a goddess, boobs of a... well, goddess. She kills it full time. I know this first-hand because she was Soul Plane's vocalist for the last stretch of the band's existence (remember Soul Plane? That band from MuchMusic’s Disband? Got the thumbs up in season 1? Episode 3? Seen it?) and she was the only reason I stuck around for a last stretch at all. Her commitment and drive are unquestionable. No, seriously, these days she drives about 2 hours to and from the studio four times a week. What's NOT to bring on board?

So this is it. The beats are banging, the hooks are ridiculous, and the rhymes are at least better than your current favourite rapper's. How can you NOT like this? Toronto, show some love. I'm doing my best to exercise some self-restraint here and not go all out on how we're about to take over this music thing... but... yeeeeeeeaaaahhhhwe'retakin'over. WHO exactly is takin' over, you ask?

Why... KWHY, of course. That's right; like the Jelly, but smoother.

Don't forget where you heard it first! (here)
