...Washington was approached about writing the score by the film’s director, Nadia Hallgren. After watching a rough cut, Washington, who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, signed on. “I always thought Michelle Obama was an amazing person when I would watch her interviews,” he recalls, “but the chance to hear her talking about her way of thinking about life — and saying what’s important and not — was really cool, so I was definitely interested in doing it.”
The work itself turned out to be far more intense than he’d imagined. Washington had only a few short weeks to compose and record the music, which he began writing while on a jazz cruise in January. For starters, Washington scanned the Obamas’ individual playlists to get a sense of what music they gravitated toward. “They like a certain kind of Motown-ish soul and R&B,” he says. “It’s hard to put into words, but there was a feel I could hear in the music they’re into.”
In the course of those few weeks, Washington conceived interludes that played off that sense of their taste, along with the moods of particular scenes.
Washington never met Michelle or Barack Obama during the creation of the score (and has yet to encounter them since he wrapped up his work), but he would receive notes passed down from the higher-ups. He says the couple loved “Becoming” “right out of the box,” although he would also hear feedback from them about “tone and color” in certain scenes, and adjust pieces accordingly. “There was a point where someone said, ‘There’s a note from Barack Obama,’ and it was, ‘OK, I guess I can’t argue back!’ ”

What would it sound like? Probably a dude imitating a woman. But that’s just a guess.
Fingernails on a chalkboard.
Whatever background ‘muzak’ the ad council is using in the stay home stay safe ad. Sounds like Yani on LSD or something.
ATTENTION simpson96! You should have included a YUGE BARF alert on this. Shame on you. LOL!
A cow when a cougar leaps on it.
It might sound something like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbpXM4CgRwk
To think they call Trump Supporters Cultists and Sycophants.
“Fingernails on a chalkboard.”
As is all of these articles. Are we going to be subjected to this Michelle Obama crap from now until November?
She’s been appointed as the one to keep them all out of jail, or worse?
LOL!
“A Score worthy of Michelle Obama.”
I doubt it would even be possible to write a score that phenomenal. Didn’t she win the Academy Award for “Best Human, Ever,” just last year?
How ‘bout “I am Moochelle, hear me roar!”
This is a jokes-write-themselves thread, folks!
What would "it" sound like? Someone strangling a cat. (That's what my wife says when I try to play guitar...).
=:-)
Mmm ... mmm .... mmm
Just... barf
How do you combine a deep basso profundo, nails on the blackboard, angry beotch, hate America with “I know what you all should eat” and dazzling fashion sense?
The song was written many years ago: “Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Say Goodbye...and Good Riddance”
How about “The impossible task of dressing a really ugly woman?”
LOL...nailed it! +10!
Yoko Ono “singing” comes to mind. Here’s an example I found that doesn’t pierce your eardrums. Much...
Here’s the zippy refrain:
Barack was born in a country far away, 🎶
But in the White House we will stay.
