Steemit Open Mic Week 125: "Under Control" (The Internet Cover) by @K0WSK1
Hey Steemians! Just dropping off another cover for review at the Steemit Open Mic! This one is from The Internet's Grammy winning album "Ego Death" - if you are into R&B and hip-hop and haven't heard it, I would highly recommend giving it a listen. I hope you dig my cover of "Under Control":
Original Track:
Lyrics:
I woke up impatient and anxious
Chasin’ dreams in my sleep
Got me feeling like I made it
Then I wake up and see
Frustration, tracing for payment
Thankfully they know me
Can’t get enough of the paper (Get enough of the paper)
I know you love it babe, ‘cause I’m a risk
But if you put it on, Imma win
And if you give it time, I won’t forget
When Im a legend baby, and we’re all rich
I need you to know
It’s under control, I got it
And as it unfolds, I got you, I promise
I promise I’m on it
I can’t help but feel like I'm wastin’, precious time in my life
Worrying about my behaviors, sometimes I think I’m too nice
I know I’m destined for greatness, fuck a critic’s advice
They hatin’ ‘cause I’m a player (they hatin’ ‘cause I’m a player)
I know you love it babe, ‘cause I’m a risk
But if you put it on, I'mma win (I'mma)
And if you give it time, I won’t forget (I won’t forget)
When I'm a legend baby, and we’re all rich
I need you to know
It’s under control, I got it (I got it)
And as it unfolds, I got you I promise
I promise I’m on it
When it’s all said and done
I’ve said all I want
You know I’m tellin’ you the truth
When I say take I’ll take care of you
Yeah, yeah
But look, I need you to know (it can only get better from here)
It’s under control, I got it (I got it babe)
And as it unfolds, I got you, I promise
I promise I’m on it
I need you to know
It’s under control, I got it
And as it unfolds, I got you, I promise
I promise I’m on it

You gave the song a new life. I guess every artist interprets it in a different way. I think this song suits you, you have a nice voice. Congrats.
Thank you very much!!
My pleasure!
excellent performance You have a good tone of voice. you put your original touch and that is worthy of admiration. Good luck this week in the open mic, the competition is not easy but without a doubt you did it very well, I would give you my vote if something was worth it.
Thanks for the kind words b :)
Hmm... I like the guitar remake of a song I never had heard of before (I listened to the original first). Now I am just wondering whether to say I liked one over the other; I can understand the context and the style of the original, yet the guitar play was clearly fantastic in the remake. Dunno what to say truly, I do like the young attitude of the original however; thankfully the contest ain't on comparing to the originals but whether the recreations stands up as well to the originals when they first premiered.
Going further, clearly professional musicry is at play here for both versions. Equally so, a passion that Iove to keep seeing in contests like these that I seldom see elsewhere on Steemit (most choosing to go try net the judge's eyes, ears and mouths most of the time). Also, this seems like a first go (not first attempt mind yah) shot at this with no freeze in between the frames, so bonus ducks on that. All-in-all, gota say that I loved the musical remake here!~ c:
Thank you so much for all of these kind words, @theironfelix! U rock
