Venus
Bei ihrem neuen Song „Venus“ geht es darum, sich einer ganz anderen Welt hinzugeben, wenn man eine besondere Verbindung zu jemandem hat und, dass man die Welt aus einer anderen Perspektive sieht, wenn du zufrieden bist, besonders mit dieser bestimmten Person. Die neue Veröffentlichung von Wendy Godfrey startet gut, leicht funkig angehauchte Gitarre zu Beginn, coole Beats werden dabei frei Haus geliefert, dazu wird tief im RnB Topf gerührt, gerührt und mit den besten Zutaten gewürzt, quasi verfeinert und heraus kommt ein Song der Extraklasse mit Wendys Vocals in Bestform. So we have to say Achtung: Wendy Godfrey and Venus, extraordinary promising.
The Interview
Who inspired you to make music?
My favorite artists such as Michael Jackson, Beyonce, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey. Listening to the music I grew up listening to, and loving the melodys, instruments, grooves and lyrics, I found it so easy to connect and relate to although I’ve never been in most of the situations the songs were about, I thought to myself ‘why not give it a try I feel like I could create something’
What or who inspired you to "Venus"?
Honestly, I was listening to the beat when Solow TA was creating it, and I was just writing along as it was being created, the beat itself isn’t your usual rnb beat, so I wanted to write about something that isn’t ‘usual’, that’s where the line of ‘On our own planet like Venus’ came from
When do you say a song is ready or good enough for a release?
When I listen to it over and over again and don’t cringe or hear anything that needs to be changed or added. I usually let a few musically inclined people listen and give me their opinion and knowledge on my song that I consider ‘a finished song’
What is your creative process like?
Make beat and write, record a demo, go edit the lyrics and melodies (see if there’s anything to add or take away or change with the lyrics, vocals and beat) , record the master vocals, mix and master the song
What is the most useful talent you have?
I’m useful in many ways. lol I’d say I have a good ear, I can spot a lot of things musically even though I don’t know how to play an instrument professionally or produce beats, when it comes to singing I can spot everything. More time I know exactly what I want but might not know the right term or phrase for it. I may not know exactly what I want but I know exactly what I don’t want. That’s why I like to be heavily involved in the production of beats and the song as a whole
What’s next for you?
Stepping out of comfortability
