2funkE is looking for a funky singer...

Me and my musical partner produce Prince/ Zapp style tracks that desperately need vocals.

I have asked Vinablue to give it a try, but I'm looking for male singers as well. If you are a funky male singer (preferably black), who doesn't sing like a modern R&B singer (you know, the "350 notes per minute"- style), but sings more in the style of the Parliament/ Funkadelic singers, you might be our man. If you can do sick voices like Morris Day and Prince, that would be cool too. If you are a blue eyed soulman and like to do the job, of course you are welcome to give it a try as well.

If you are interested, listen to the songs at the link underneath. If you are still interested after that ( wink ), send me a demo with your voice on it so we can check if the interest is mutual...

Hope to hear from you soon!

Why would you, no, HOW could you add vocals to the supremely funky "I got to get do-hown" song?

It'd be like adding sprinkles to a prime rib!

I wasn't really talking about "I've got to get down", but about "funkstrumental". And of course about the three new songs which will be downloadable within the next few days! wink

Hi Jason,

Why don't you try recording some vocals for "Funkstrumental"? The theme of our music is D.M.S.R., it would be appreciated if you could stick to that theme (knowing about you being very religious and stuff). It's not that I have a problem with God, I believe in God myself, but I don't think my musical partner (a strong non-believer) would be very pleased with a gospel song... wink

If you like the first three song, you won't be disappointed with the new stuff, I guess.

Vina already heard two of the songs, I think she likes them. She's gonna do a Jill Jones/Vanity thing to one of the songs, I can't wait to hear the result!

Well, I've got 4 singers now that are willing to do one or more tracks!

Some people will be doing the same songs though. I think it is interesting to see what different people will do with the same song. I'm thinking about uploading the different versions and make some kind of contest out of it. Well, not really a contest, but it would be fun listening to three different versions of the same song. What do you guys think? Nice idea???

yeah - it'd be interesting to hear each person's interpretation of the songs.

It's an interesting experiment. The results should be diverse, I can't wait.

Funk on!

I know there are many definitions of what religion is, but I am not "religious", so doing songs about dance, music, sex, or romance doesn't bother me at all. I have limits though, but I am very good with words. Like on my song "2 Much Cute" where the chorus is "2 much cute, make me want to shoot, feel that water come, coming right on to you". There is maaad hidden meanings there.

I will upload it to my mp3 player this weekend and in the next couple weeks I will funk it up!

Peace,
JD

Well, actually Shake It is more or less finished and doesn't need any extra vocals. It's probably better to wait for the three new songs, two of them need vocals. Or try "Funkstrumental"?
