Changes (Sped Up)

Jeremih

<p>While sites like TikTok popularized speeding up or slowing down audio, the music industry made it official by taking advantage of the demand. <a href="/profile/Jeremih" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Jeremih</a> is the latest artist to do so, as he dropped &#8220;Changes (Sped Up).&#8221; Moreover, the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/442745-jeremih-is-looking-for-answers-on-changes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">original track</a> was a smooth, slow, and sultry R&amp;B cut with vivid instrumentation. While the song&#8217;s original drama isn&#8217;t downplayed in the sped up version, the emotion comes across as slightly more nostalgic.</p>

<p>Furthermore, it&#8217;s funny that something so taken for granted as tempo and pitch can drastically change a song&#8217;s vibe. Even if the lyrics are still the same, the high pitch in the piano keys make the song <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/401485-hitmaka-fabolous-jeremih-and-ivory-scott-deliver-summer-vibes-on-down-bad-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sound like a dream</a>. Also, the fact that the track&#8217;s sound still fits the lyrical content speaks to the song&#8217;s dynamism. The first track came across as lustful, but the production on the sped up version reins that back a little.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, it&#8217;s replaced by what sounds like a West Coast type beat that could still have <a href="/profile/lil-baby" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Lil Baby</a> rapping over it like it&#8217;s nothing. As the R&amp;B singer croons about a struggling relationship and being left in the dust, the verses and choruses swell in and out with warm horns and live percussion. Still, if you don&#8217;t like the sped up version, maybe the upcoming slowed down one will be more up your alley.</p>

<p>While Jeremih released plenty of music last year, much of it came in the form of features and guest appearances. As one of the most <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/385508-jeremihs-classic-late-nights-mixtape-finally-hits-streaming-services-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notable R&amp;B singers of the 2010s</a>, his presence on a track is sure to inject some soul no matter what. For example, he assisted singer Nakkia Gold on her relationship-heavy December album, <em><a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/607209-nakkia-gold-makes-her-debut-with-like-girls-album-featuring-jeremih-pink-sweat-more" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Like Girls</a></em>. </p>
