But then he wanted something changed on the beat. ‘Loyal’ was originally for my bro Bobby Brackings, I wrote that song for him. So how did you come to write ‘Loyal’ for Chris Brown? And I can do other shit that has nothing to do with music, like if we’re just at the crib, and something fucks up with the faucet or the toilet, I can fix that shit. I can really pick up any instrument, and play any song that comes on.
I was thankful before I even got on, you know, just for having the music in me, because I’ve been around a lot of people and a lot of people just don’t have it. Yeah, it’s a dream, but even in real life I’m thankful for everything. Do you feel like you’re living a bit of a dream right now? You tweet a lot about how thankful you are, and you said it a lot last night, too. Now, I get off the tour on the 12th and then I have to go straight to the studio and finish my single on the 13th, and then I’ve got to fly to Nashville, and then…I’m never gonna have time again. I just got off the tour with Wiz, I had like, a day at home – but then it wasn’t a real day because I was straight in the studio and doing interviews and that type of shit. But sometimes, when they try and rush me, I tell ‘em “fuck you,” and I close the door and I take care of all my regular life shit. Yeah I’m fucking super busy, I don’t have fucking time to myself almost. Is that still true, given you’re clearly so busy? Ī while back you told The Fader that you’re nastier in real life than you are in your music. Wait, can we go back to the girl you want to marry? Have you had a lot of that kind of response in Europe in general?Įurope’s been great, I think I might have found the girl that I want to marry. I’m surprised because I’m not from anywhere around here, and to see people fuck with my shit like that is fucking incredible. Read on to find out more about why he’s not just making sex music any more, why he wants to tour with Ed Sheeran and why he’s the man you should call if your toilet’s broken. And to top it off, he’s a breeze to chat to despite having performed and recorded in both Paris and London in the past 48 hours alone, he listens appreciatively and laughs warmly throughout our phone call.
TY DOLLA IGN PARANOID FREE
With his debut studio album Free TC in the pipeline, a place in Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang and songwriting credits for Chris Brown and Rihanna, he’s on his way to making his particular brand of paranoia pop a chart-dominating staple. Sign Language, which dropped in August, saw Ty flex his skill for writing fire hooks over more ambitious arrangements and with more diverse collaborators than ever before. Over open, carefree Mustard beats – a world away from the blacked-out pine of House Of Balloons – songs like ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Or Nah’ portrayed Dolla $ign as someone who couldn’t quite relax enough to forget himself even when in the midst of the most ecstatic early morning hours at the club.
While The Weeknd plays the predator and the aggressor, using women to run away from his own problems, Ty’s 2012 mixtape Beach House and the 2013 follow-up Beach House 2 revealed a jokey, Cabana-dwelling yet guarded character who loves to turn up but can’t escape his trust issues. Even now the two are working together regularly – Ty’s late to our interview because he’s in the studio working on a verse for Abel, I’m told – but their roles are starkly different. When his smoky drawl first blew onto the scene in 2011, Ty was spoken of by many in the same breath as The Weeknd, that year’s prince of sexy-but-tormented R&B. I would ask how he lost his voice, but just a matter of hours before our chat, I was dancing in the sweat-steamed XOYO basement as he puffed gleefully on a blunt onstage, while telling the ladies of the audience, “I wanna take, like, 10 of you back to my hotel room tonight.” So I’ve got some idea.
TY DOLLA IGN PARANOID CRACKED
When Ty Dolla $ign starts speaking, his trademark raspy voice is so cracked I can barely understand a word he’s saying until he takes a couple seconds to clear his throat.
