A dynamic and well-planned melody is one of the most important elements needed in order to write a great song. jACQ, a Dallas-based singer/songwriter flexes those melody-writing muscles in her single titled, “This is the Time”.
As far as her vocal performance goes, the melodic delivery is executed with attitude and sex appeal making jACQ the perfect vessel for this track. It’s obvious that jACQ was born to be a part of the music industry.
?We have covered the art of utilising “negative space” in music before and it’s worth going over again (especially in the context of this song). It’s easy for an artist to over-perform or sing over every inch of an instrumental but an experienced artist knows when to hold back before strategically laying it down again. “This is the Time” is a great example of how one should utilise that “negative space” in music.
The average listener rarely notices harmony but go ahead and do some peak listening at the bridge of the song. Each vocal layer has a synergistic reaction to the next. After coming out of the harmony-rich bridge, the chorus seems even more powerful then it did earlier on in the song. That contrast is essential to the construction of song formatting. She is not limited to just one genre of music.
