Fearlessly embracing the future of artificially intelligent music creation, FunkTheAI launches an album committed to the cause and concept, with the original creative theme presenting ten alternative takes of a single lyrical journey.
As explained in this Instagram Reel, Give It To Him Slow takes a single written lyric and story, and transforms it into ten different songs, with each song being dedicated to a different woman. The women’s names separate the songs in the track-listing, as well as the creative variation and genre differences found throughout. Always the energy is high though, an up-tempo, aptly FunkTheAI-crafted album of heartfelt party anthems.
We begin with a floor-filler dance-pop ode to Abigail, with a soul-funk twist of passion to its performative energy and groove. Then the funk aspect of FunkTheAI quickly highlights how different a song can sound when gifted an entirely different energy and vibe. The new melody for Ava, the new voice and production, makes this feel like a completely different song. It’s only really as you dive further into the project, that you start to realise the looping nature of the ideas and lyrical resolves.
The story is simple, a reflection on romance and lasting connection, advice imparted around the challenge and the chase, and not ‘giving it away’ too easily. The idea is seemingly longevity, valuing each other and seeking a longer-term, genuine connection, and the lyrics are relatable and concise on that front.
Highlights from Give It To Him Slow include the eighties-esque Abba-like anthem for Emily, and the impassioned choir and crescendo of a euphoric and celebratory tribute to Madison. Then later, the ambient rising anticipation and EDM escapism of Olivia’s version, adds a floor-filler cinematic disco peak that’s boldly expressive and soulful. The drama is distinct, as well as the key melodies and the vocal meandering, and for all of these reasons, this track is a personal favourite version of Give It To Him Slow.
Having fun with making music, having fun with AI, and being completely transparent about that process – that’s what it’s all about, really. The music for FunkTheAI’s Give It To Him Slow provides what it promises, and the conceptual thread here, as well as the pristine and professional arrangements, lets the fun and artistic roots of the music reach out with colour and charm.
