Appropriation |əˌprōprēˈā sh ən|
noun
The action of taking something for one’s own use, typically without the owner’s permission: the appropriation of parish funds.
• Often derogatory the artistic practice or technique of reworking images from well-known paintings, photographs, etc., in one’s own work.

For my appropriation piece I’ve decided to take a well-known song and record my own version. However after looking at countless covers of the song I noticed that the majority of them stuck the formula of how the original song sounded. Being a musician I found it odd that no one seemed to do his or her own version. The song I decided to cover is Candi Staton’s "You got the love"

What make the song my own are the following details

1) The original singer sang the song with a lot of feeling, emotion and was pitch perfect, I decided to sing the song with monotone vocals to create a ’lifeless’ edge that would hopefully act as a contrast the uplifting music and lyrics I also left the pitchy mistakes in there to make sure I was still in contrast to the original.
2) The music it’s self I decided I wanted a darker tone. I created this by slowing down the tempo and used strange effects on my keyboard. I also used a heavy drum loop.
