A FREESTYLE BY ernesto6402

Few moths ago, I made a free style of a song by the Nigerian musician Joeboy. The tittle of the song is don’t call me back, and my aim was to creat a completely different version of the song. Taking away the beat of the song, I gave it an acoustic feel using my piano voice on the keyboard. But then, I never tempered with the original progression. For my lyrics, I decided not to tamper with the original language of the song (the song in question was written in Nigeria); instead, I gave a completely different lyrics without tampering with the message nor the language of the writer. My lyrics weren’t initially composed since the whole idea was to see how far I can go just free-styling, and it really turned out well.

Originally, don’t call me back is a lively and danceable Afro-beat. But after working on it, I was able to produce a mild and soft going version of the same song. I would be posting both the original and my own version, and I would love to get your beautiful reactions.

ORIGINAL LYRICS

If I give you love my head no correct
