Justin about “Don’t Hold the Wall"
“Don’t Hold the Wall is a dance record. And it’s about that
moment, trying to get that girl on the dance floor. And um, it’s kind of
the antithesis of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Got to Give It Up’ because that song,
if you get the lyrics on that, it really is about how shy he was and how
he didn’t want to get on the dance floor. But some record came on, and
it got him… it’s about gaining that confidence, and this is about being
in the middle and seeing this girl off to the side and saying, you
know, come out and dance with me. It’s kind of innocent in that way as
well.”
Some of the sample is from cirque de solil and the vocal mix was a killer I would have never thought of creating the Mediterranean vibe off that music from cirque de solil music . Amazing work from Timbaland and JT.
He is getting music genius level. He plays with beats and harmonies and various sounds with Timberland. He makes you listen through to the end because the music goes through a flux of changes, colors, tone variations. Amazing.
