sympathetic vibration.
i am a producer , writter and arranger
i choose like- spirited producers.
i used to listen to dilla's beat tapes, madlib's , karriem's, sa-ra's 9th jah born etc...
i felt the soul of the fresh choices they made
we vibrate together sympathetically.
theyd always give me beats to vibe to from 1999.
alot the beats are older too lol. yet ageless.
been riding to them forever.

really this internet exchange stuff/ itunes on my mac /ichat prompted these collabs
for "kahba" (working title).

i put all my beat tapes into itunes and also started using ichat .
heads were sending me beats.

this quickened everything .
i took my music every where i went now.

(keep in mind i was the chic in 2004 a.d. with an xtra lg tub of 4 inch reels - not rims -every city i went to ...getting held up in security. )
thus, the name analogue girl.

fast forward to 2006

one day i got on garage band ( a hybrid of logic) and started to drag the beats from itunes to a track.
then i just layered several vox trx over that beat .
Got about 9 songs in one day...
messing around.
that was the beginning of this particular project.

this made me more independent.
could work quicker and more often.
the kids usually took first seat to creating music.
now it was different.

i chose the beats that i felt had a certain hump to me.

the project really started to pop after i met mike chavaria an engineer from detroit.
he was working wth jay 'tronic at the time.
i like his fx and ideas.

why these particular producers?
i have so much respect for these cats and what they do.
ive know the process and the wealth of knowlege that they all share about music and sonics across the board.
scientists and geniuses.
their music collections are extra- ordinary .
we all just click.
same tribe i guess.
i choose all them like this . or something just draws our minds together.
ie: quest, poyser ,pino , jeff lee , doc gibbs, ron carter, etc....

FYI : baduism was compiled of carefully selected trx as and 2 live joints from the roots.

for this project KAHBA , i was def thinking ahead and not backwards.

you guys are in for an interesting ride.

by the way
the term neo soul was created by Kedar Massenburg the former manager of D'angelo and former prez of kedar/ motown .
this man signed me in 1995 after hearing baduism in its entireity minus the roots .
(i brought the roots on board after being given a budget.)
anyway this title NS was originally given to d and i to set us apart from music in REGULAR radio rotation since we were a little to the left of that time's sonic sound (1995).

keep in mind my music and d's music sound nothing alike .
Instead what we had in common was an exexcutive who had an ear for interesting underground talent.

neither d nor i had ever heard this term NS before, nor did we accept it as who or what we were.
THE NAME TOOK A LIFE OF ITS OWN.

im a theatrical soul singer with a mc background i sing soul music influenced by everthing.
d has a church backgroud with a heavy soul influence . i think hes a diamond who would just rather be cole.
