Started crying when you started writing the song. Definitely feeling this Song.

[@velz_thedesigner]

Love to see professionals use FL studio to record vocals. A lot of professionals really hate on it for recording, mixing and mastering.

[@682Ali]

Wha do they use instead

[@malreymusic]

FL Studio is amazing! The Edison plugin alone is a world of its own and creating beat patterns is a breeze and I think FL has one of the best piano roll editing. However, when it comes to the niddy griddy workflow of vocal comping and editing, FL Studio is still a bit behind compared to other Daws. You just have to know the strengths and weakness of each tool and use them to your advantage. Don't fall in love with anything, always adapt and experiment. Between Ableton and FL im set.

This Ballad is perfect. My mom loves adele so much. She Passed away 2 months ago after the KCA's and My Birthday. Wishing i can see her again. Thank you KARRA and Reid Stefan for the support. Tell Nash Overstreet I said hi

[@DweatherlyBeatz]

Loved it! Ppl need to see the creative process of song writing & recording. It's honestly the "funnest" part of the process. And can't go wrong with Karra & Reid the REALEST couple in the game!

[@CarlaDePuertoRico]

Watching you come up with melodies so effortlessly it’s so inspiring! Love Adele, you nailed the style ❤️‍🔥

I'm a real fish out of water when it comes to this particular genre (I've been a pro for 30 plus) but I must admit I find this particular process fascinating & inspiring. Your vocal range is immensely impressive & your ability to improvise equally so.

This reminds me why I sub’d in the first place. I have been absent for some time but based off this vid, I’d love be to hear about the stories behind your tracks with popular producers such as KAAZE, KSHMR, etc.

[@Hillson_Academy]

Very informative❤

[@TerofiedBeats]

Love it when artists go in depth about their process for creating. It's so helpful.

[@altermore]

Amazing singing! I believe that this is far from the first take 😀I like how you start from sketch, ill find myself its verry useful. Someday I recorded my finished projects for some vid like this. Its realy interesting in progress and how it develops into a full song ☺ But I'm stil need learn a lot. Its always something new.

[@ceij3453]

nice ❤❤❤

[@Samuel-hd3cp]

Seeing you come up with lyricless melodies on the fly like this is so fascinating, I do the same thing but always rush to write lyrics to legitimise them. But this is actually a great process, thank you for sharing. P.s you misspoke slightly and said a 'mortar' to love, rather than martyr, and tbf, freudian slip because I I initially thought you were going for the idea of 'mortar and pestle' crushing a broken heart.

[@iamkarramusic]

I took some time off camera to come up with the lyrics but for the most part it’s very natural & intuitive for me due to the amount of practice I’ve had in my lifetime!
