Lyfe jennings hypothetically chords
Singersroom: Since you traveled a difficult path to stardom, what advice would you give to young men who are struggling just to make it? A lot of my life was not based on what others did but now I’m in situations where people just don’t work out and they may be cool people personally, but they can’t give you what you need, you know! I am one of those guys that wants everybody to shine. Singersroom: What have you learned since your debut album? Were you always business oriented or did you have to learn that along the way? Singersroom: How much creative control did you have on this album in comparison to your debut album? Lyfe: (laughing) Oh yeah I’m trying to do a little something. Singersroom: So you’re getting Crunk on this album? Lyfe: I have Three Six Mafia, Project Pat, Young Buck and two of my artists that are on my label LaLa Brown and Doc Black. Singersroom: Do you have any collaborations on this album?
I don’t want to come across as preaching, so I leave my music open, I leave it to the listener to take it where they want, that way they will think of the message as informative and apply it to where it needs to be applied, you know. Lyfe: Both albums are personal reflective messages. Would you classify “The Phoenix” similarly? Singersroom: What would you say are the underlying messages in your music? “Hypothetically” and “She Got kids” seem to be about options and reflecting on life choices/decisions. Singersroom: So no extra solo’s from the other band members? If they want to do something new, I tell them let’s do it in rehearsal. I tell the band and the background singers don’t do anything new. Before I go on tour I put my show together and I try to stick to the show. Lyfe: I don’t really train, I just blank out. Singersroom: It seems like you are always on the road, how do you train for that energy that you give on stage? A lot of times a person may have heard your stuff, but after a live show they may go out and get the CD or re-buy it live. So it is important to have a great show so that the fans can feel you. They are unable to connect the person and message to the music. Lyfe: I think a lot of times listening to CD’s your fans may not feel what you are saying. Singersroom: You sold a lot of records primarily from doing live shows, how important is it for you to perform live in front of your fans? I co-produced two songs with a guy named Romario Weller. Lyfe: I produced the whole album just like the first, I wrote all the music too.
Singersroom: Did you produce anything for “The Phoenix”? I did more up tempo stuff than on the last album.
Lyfe: Thank you! I think I sing more on this album, some people say I was more lyrical than vocal. Singersroom: I heard the new album and it sounds crazy, what would you say is the difference between your debut album and your new album “The Phoenix”? Singersroom caught up with Life to chat about the new album, upcoming tours and life outside of music. His sophomore album “The Phoenix,” picks up right where the first one ended and his single S.E.X is steadily climbing the charts. With just one listen, Lyfe’s music captures your attention with his rough, street, ghetto sounding style. Lyfe Jennings, a singer/songwriter/producer, is probably one of the most underrated soul R&B artists of our time.
