![]() Photograph: Sabree Hill, Dillard University Toosii took that same message and brought it to a more intimate, romantic place. He made our mix into a perfect recipe.Phipps had no criminal record but found his lyrics used against him. ![]() When you find a companion in life, you’re looking to ride with them until the end. Toosii just took that to another level, which is all that any artist can hope for - that what we do doesn’t get misconstrued. “If I’m feeling something, somebody else has got to be feeling it too. Manaois adds that the reason she believes Toosii’s “Favorite Song” is so powerful is that the meaning of her lyrics intertwines elegantly with her original intentions. They just added value to my version - one that I worked on with lovely people such as Tatiana and Adelso. I never wanted either Khalid or Future’s version to be bigger than the original. “They did what they were supposed to do - brought more eyes to the original. “I’m proud of that,” says Toosii of the all-star remix guests. “I don’t even know that Adelso got how quickly I jumped onto getting this done.”Īnd though elastic vocalist Khalid and taut rapper Future jumped onto additional mixes of “Favorite Song,” it is Toosii’s original version with Manaois in its intro that landed in the top 10, going as far as No. “I was going through my own thing when I heard her lyrics, so the day after Adelso sent me the track, I woke up, headed into the studio, and laid it all down,” says the rapper. “I always tell producers to stay consistent in what they do and send, because you never know when you’re going to have that hit,” says Toosii, who “put all of the mixed bits and pieces together” from Adelso and Manaois’ track, and added his own rhythmic flow to a story of love for his significant other - all while managing to include Manaois’ original vocal introduction as part of Adelso’s warm melody. “This beat just happened to hit, hard,” said the producer. ![]() Listen to the beat, and it will tell you what to say.”Īdelso was already friends with Toosii on Instagram, and, on a daily basis, they sent beats back-and-forth. “When he sent me the beat,” says Toosii, “I was coming home, driving in my car in the early morning, and just trying to put everything together with the track the minute I heard it. The New York rapper was already on a roll with a consistent run of smooth-operating, R&B-rap tracks such as “Love Is…,” “Heartaches” and “Magic Potion” when he heard from producer Adelso. ![]() Part of this Toosii track’s unique vibe and hitmaking swagger comes from how “Favorite Song” was put together from its start, by Rhode Island-based producer Adelso, with the use of Tatiana Manaois’ gentle 2022 acoustic guitar-strewn ballad “You Might as Well” as the introduction to Toosii’s new summer anthem. “But ‘Favorite Song’ definitely stands alone as an anomaly. “Though cohesive, there’s a separate story to, and feel behind, every track on my new album,” said Toosii, via Zoom, about his first full-length album. ![]()
