Still Fly

Not a strong song, trades in rather too many cliches.

6 point(s) for Performance
The singing performances are good, but the rap/hip-hop elements sound a bit clunky.

6 point(s) for Capture
Not well tied together, sounds uneven, and the there are a couple of very dated effects, which haven't quite achieved 'retro' status, so it would be best to avoid them. Having said that, the harmony layerings in the chorus are superb.

Need to freshen up the lyrics especially, but quite a few cliches on display generally.

It's a good song musically
Lyrically it's a cool topic but the execution is a bit weak. If you are down, what is it that makes you still fly?
I need to know cause if I'm in a bad mood for no particular reason I don't feel like I still fly, except if I'm on a plane. Help!

I like the funny end bit.

Other than that there are too many ah,ah,ah's in the chorus. They are featured like a hook but they are not that musical sounding. maybe it's me and my over-sensitive studio ears.

Performances are cool.

9 point(s) for Capture
Liking the retro Superbad Blaxploitation sound and vocal arrangement.

Can girls ever stop thinking they are too fat? Unbelievable! Men like all sorts of girls. OK?! I actually don't like skinny girls. Every girl I work with thinks she is too fat. I can't take it anymore!!
I know this is not what the song is about but there was one line in the lyric talking about some pants not fitting anymore. Throw them away. I'll get you new ones and take you out for a big dinner. Jeez! x Capt Future

Lyrically it was very entertaining. They have the ability to tell an everyday story with humour and insight.

Great harmonies. Refreshingly upbeat soul. The voices are strong enough to work with very little musical support .

Feeling this. Quirky modern soul for the masses
