R.O.O.O.M.: the songs around First Chapter
First Chapter places R.O.O.O.M. at the meeting point of hip-hop, R&B and a live-band musical setting. Get Up supplies a particularly direct introduction, with a compact vocal performance supported by bass, guitars and studio production. The album makes room for a wider selection of songs around that first impression.
Get Up
The original Get Up release appeared in November 2006. Its label programme includes the song and an instrumental, a useful pairing for hearing what the performance adds to the arrangement.
Universal’s original credits name Marc “Marquito” Zibung and David May in the production, alongside musical work by Geoffrey Williams, Adrian Zagoritis and Neil Stainton. Bass and guitar credits underline the instrumental contribution beneath the vocal performance.
A full programme
First Chapter followed in 2007 through Universal Music. The fourteen-song album gives the act a larger setting than one single, with the catalogue also presenting the songs First Thing and Lost.
The mixture is the useful point of entry. The rhythm can carry a hip-hop-associated sense of phrasing, while the singing and instrumental parts move towards R&B and pop. The sound has room for both a direct single and a less concentrated album sequence.
Begin with Get Up, then compare its instrumental and continue into First Chapter. The instrumental is especially revealing: it lets the bass, guitars and production decisions become audible as a complete arrangement before the voice returns.
