The track I have produced inspired by the production techniques of Young Guru is called “Day after day”. I referenced the song “Empire state of Mind Ft Alicia Keys” present on The Blueprint 3 when creating “Day after day”. Similar to Young Guru’s approach when producing “Empire state of mind” I produced “Day after Day” as a pop record that has been constructed in a Hip-Hop way. The song consist’s of a programmed drum loop and midi instruments. Both songs are also piano driven and I thought it was important I learnt how Alicia Key’s vocals sat against the tone of the piano. Finding the balance between my female artist and the piano was probably the hardest thing about this song’s production.
