The Review of "Awww" by D'ja
"Awww" was written and performed by D'ja and produced by Don Jazzy, CEO of Marvin Records.
Intro
The song started with an instrumental intro which set the mood for the song. Interestingly, the intro creates unity in the music as it reoccurs as the instrumental background to the hook of the song.
Melody
The melody of the song is strong and memorable, especially, that of the hook of the song "baby I want you to know. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
Vocals
The singer has warm and expressive voice. It could be said that, that (the voice) is the strength and greatest asset D'ja possesses.
Instrumental Accompaniment
The instrumental accompaniment is appealing and tells story. If the vocals were to be removed, only the instrumental arrangement would take listeners through the journey. The instrumental arrangement is also likable as it keeps each section of the song different. For example, the nice bass riff that accompanies the verses.
Outro
The song was rounded off with an instrumental outro that comprises a melody and accompaniment which is the unelaborate or simple version of the background to the verses. This also creates unity as it brings back the progression listener has heard before the hook.
Form
The overall design of the music is:
Intro- Pre chorus- Chorus- Verse1- Hook- Pre chorus- Chorus- Verse2- Hook- Pre chorus- Chorus- Outro
Conclusion
This is a great song that upcoming artistes and young producers should take time to study. The song has balance between unity and contrast which is the secret of great songs.
