#148 - Fatboi Sharif & steel tipped dove breakdown ’Decay’ - Album Alchemy

Video animation by: Big Flowers Intro/Outro beat by: BLOODBLIXING The Plug (0:21). Main Body of Discussion (2:23). On rare occasion, we get two artists that come together at a moment where their skillsets and mindsets align in sublime harmony. That is what I see with Fatboi Sharif and steel tipped dove’s latest album released on Backwoodz Studioz, titled Decay. Sharif’s been progressively growing as a vocalist and lyricist… who’s unique gifts mesh perfectly with the vast, atmospheric, and cutting-edge brand of experimentation found in steel tipped dove’s production. Decay is a soundtrack for the times. Not necessarily the times that are upon us at this very moment, but what may soon be our reality in just a few decades from now. Decay is a psychedelic masterpiece - a result of two creative minds joining forces at the exact right time in their careers. Sharif and Dove are here today to breakdown how this excellent new album was created, in the latest installment of the 'Album Alchemy' series. The sonic landscape of Decay (4:03). Lyrical themes and inspirations of Decay (8:29). The heavily gothic and creepy sound of Decay (13:40). Sharif’s continued evolution as a vocalist (16:00). The thinking behind having no features on Decay (21:37). Releasing the album on Backwoodz Studioz, and the label’s influence on the final product (24:38). The structure of shorter songs - longer tracklist of Decay (28:50). Favourite songs (32:48). Upcoming projects (38:31).
