Frogtoon Musik - Song-Info: Hello

Erykah Badu André And I Are Still Best Of Friends Always Have Been And Always Will Be. When Our 18-Year-Old Son Seven Started High School We Both Agreed To Be In The Same City So André Is In Dallas All The Time And We're Always All Together Doing Something. Usually André Takes Him To School But When He’s Busy Working I Do. Seven Was Very Instrumental In Helping Me Put The Ideas Together For The Mixtape Because We Would Ride To School And Listen To Music Going Through SoundCloud Checking Out New Artists. One Day I Was Sharing My Ideas With Seven And André In The Living Room And They Are Always Really Excited To Share Ideas With Me—especially When They See That I'm Percolating. They Threw Out A Whole Lot Of Songs To Me Once They Figured Out I Was Doing A Phone Theme With The Mixtape And André Goes “What About The Isley Brothers’ ‘Hello It’s Me’?” And I Was Like "Yeah!" So I Plugged My Phone In The Speaker Jack And Played It And We All Started Singing. Of Course The Melody Is Totally Different From How I Did It But It's A Classic And A Favorite In The House. But André Didn't Think Of Being A Part Of The Song At First. He Just Wanted To Hear My Take On It. So After Seven Went Off To School I Went Over To Producer Zach Witness' House And Had Him Do A Piano Version Of It That Was Just 30 Seconds Long And I Intended It To Be A Short Interlude. At That Point My Vocals Weren't In It And I Sent That Music To André And Said “This Is What I Came Up With Isn't It Pretty.” And He Said “Wow It Is Pretty.” A Couple Of Days Later He Said “Erykah I'm Riding Around Listening To This Every Day I Can't Get It Out Of My Mind.” And I Said “Well Maybe You Should Put A Verse To It.” Then André Went Over To Zach's House And Put A Verse To It—I Was Out Of Town—and They Sent It To Me Over Email. I Was Like “You Have Totally Annihilated The Track! This Is It!” I Got Home And Recorded My "hello Hello" Parts And That Was Supposed To Be It. But After We Heard Ourselves Together We Both Thought This Is A Duet. Then André Said Out Loud “We Need To Finish It.” So We Got In My Living Room And Started At 11 P.M. And Finished At Five In The Morning. Seven Was Walking In And Out Of The Pantry Getting Snacks Late Into The Night Just Watching Over Us. It All Happened That Night. After We Finished We Were Very Silent. We Knew We Had Created Something Special That It Was More Than We Thought It Would Be. At That Point I Said “This Is No Longer A Mixtape This Is An Event.”
