At 649, the first halfway house I was in (2022), I produced and recorded "A Carver's Theme". I sampled Chloe Bailey's cover of "Footloose" for Pepsi. As the song's cover photo, I chose a picture of her sister, Halle Bailey as Ariel ("The Little Mermaid").
The song I sampled wasn't Chloe's best. As organic as she is and can be, I felt the cover was TOO synthy and electronic for her. Alas, she had an opportunity to make money and gain mainstream exposure, so I'm not mad at her. As far as Halle, the picture wasn't flattering, but it was a remnant of a historical role she was blessed to have the opportunity to play.
The point of the song ("A Carver's Theme") is and was, i would've carved my veins out should I have had to make such creative sacrifices. Is Chloe talented? Yes! Is Halle ugly? No! But sometimes in this business, you have to take losses in order to win big.
Those *drKiwi*s are untouchable.
As far as "A Carver's Theme", I'll try to post it to my blog via phone.
