Umm OK. Then all you have to do is look up the song credits. You also got producers that create the instrumentals, sound engineers, mixing, and mastering--usually this stuff can be found in the credits to the song. Also, sometimes live instrumentalists will be credited. These people aren't looking for major fame- it's just their job. It's the public's decision to look these things up or not. Only an idiot would seriously think an artiste is fully responsible for the song. Even Charlie puth, who writes, produces, and mixes his own songs will have assistance in mastering the song so it is radio-ready. ☺️
Some people don't want to be huge stars but love making music. This is a great job. Maybe she is a mother who wants raise her family. She doesn't want that attention.
I honestly think that they get exactly how much credit they want.

some people are so shocked and would comment "this doesn't sound like a demo" like dude demos are not per se "demo". it's like an outlook of how the song would sound like and of the overal feel of the song. don't expect demos to sound like highschool music projects lol smh
Well, it doesn't have that much BGV and vox FX, so it still sounds very unfinished to me. And don't be saying "she doesn't need them" when it's a flare to add to the song.
@@keathenyoung8499 it’s common for people to buy $2 Bluetooth speakers from Amazon and use that to listen to music lmao they don’t know the difference it all sounds like crap. They’re just used to it
most of these demos are just references as in they are done after everything has already been nailed down and the artist has given their input... christy had time to record references, rihanna does not... rihanna comes in much later and would maybe change a few things but this demo has her or her teams input in it already...
I think that it's the writers who change their voices to fit Rihanna's pitch. Because they wrote the song for her, so they try to imitate her voice tone to get a better idea of what the record will sound like if sung by Rihanna.
This is a gr8 demo, and I m surprised how rihanna copied everything that lady did in her vocals, from the laughter in the first verse to the very expression in the second verse....Wow....she could make it more her version...I bet rihanna loved this version!!!
+Nick Greek listen to more demos for other artists like beyonce, brittany, and so on. the demos are copied to the T. this is how the music industry rolls. the demos are complete songs. most artists today change little to nothing from demo to record.
I honestly think some of these people who write the songs require the singer to sing it the way they want it. If you see old footage of Xtina and Britney in the studios recording their first albums they are completely guided (if not forced) by the producers who tell them how to sound, what melismas and ad libs they have to sing etc.
Abraham Edelstein She's a songwriter who just happened to record the song herself. How is that different than other songwriters who just give the lyrics to the artist? Her making a demo DOES NOT change the fact that she still wrote the song for SOMEONE else to sing.
Now we know why Rihanna ain't into music no more because she's not getting coins from her song. I'm pretty sure her cut in the sales were less than 5% where on the Fenty, she's getting more bags. Good businesswoman.
This shows that simply having the talent doesn’t mean shit. You can even been in the eye of the industry like this lady & still be used for someone else’s benefit. (Of course I don’t know if she prefers to NOT be in the spotlight - but still…) this is one reason I ditched my music aspirations including scholarships. I knew the competitiveness would eat me alive & kill my love of music.
+likeme177 rihanna didn't do the visuala either, the director was the creative ad the production. Rihanna is only an image, a face but the hard work are made by songwriters, directors, producers, etc
WHAT SOME OF YOU DON'T KNOW IS THAT THESE SONG WRITERS INTENTION WAS TO SELL THE SONG TO POPULAR ARTIST BEACUSE IT WILL REACH NEW LEVELS AND BE BETTER HEARD.

Demo's often don't sound better it's because you have listened to the original over and over and something new sounds nice, you're also trying to sound clever. Rihanna has a power in her voice that makes this song incredible. There's a reason she is a number one artist, time after time.
@@wadewill5934 uhm, no. I meant what I said. This demo version doesn't hurt my ears as hard as Rihannas "Power voice" does. I like THIS version better. Right here. Thank u.
1. This was never her song, she went to a writers camp to make new tracks for Rihanna. 2. Ester Dean had nothing to do with this, Cristyle wrote it, not Ester. 3. Stop making up bullshit and saying there facts. Heres the interview where it proves all those things with Cristyle: /watch?v=n_yB6Q8AAOE
There's an article in the New Yorker about the process. Producer does the music first, Ester writes the lyrics and melody line on the spot, they sell it to the artist.
Yeah, I could tell they kept some of these vocals. Rihanna is not as good a singer as this woman. Please stop using a capital letter for every word, though, unless it's a title of something.
I genuinely love music and writing I want to be on this level in the game. But I wouldn’t know where to start. “It’s not about what you know , sometimes it’s about who you know “
I mean it's not like they're stealing from them, most songwriters pitch their work to other artists and, upon being released, earn their royalties without having to endure the price of fame or whatever, so they'd rather stay on the down low cashing in those checks
Love your voice girl keep rocking !!!!!! Powerful voice... just be careful next time dont just give away your golden voice as demo without protection... and make sure u have a trusted lawyer and witness by your side .. if they dont like it then have some doubts .. probably another shady scene...
@reaper69316 a lot of songs in the industry are written by people the public doesn't know about- the writers sell them to producers and label management to produce big time singers. But Ne-YO, Jessie J and bunch of other people are now singers of their own because they took it to the next step and made themselves famous.
@Misana because "Christyle" is unheard of... she will have made a lot more money by selling the song to Def Jam for Rihanna. That way the song has sold about 8 million copies under Rihanna's name, but you'd never have heard this song if she'd kept it to herself.
@reaper69316 they write the songs and record it then sell it too the artist..they record a demo of it so the artist that buys it will know the tempo and exact pitch to sing at on certain parts of the song
In opposition to what many people say, I think that Rihanna decides to respect the original melody. As a soon to be official songwriter, I'd hate it if I worked hard on the main melody just for the singer to come and say "I like your song I want it but I want to change it all" (then I'd wonder, what did you like of it?). Most people probably won't understand. A real demo does hardly sound good and needs a lot of post-work. This is a real song for the singer just to record it with her/his voice.
This is very true. If you havn't lived under a rock the last 15 years it's pretty clear Rihanna is a very capable singer in her own right. If anything it shows that she and Kuk her vocal producer is professional enough to let the song win. If the demo is good enough, there is no need to add flair. This song in particular would just sound worse with Ariana Grande style wails and stuff. So all respect to Rihanna. And to all other commenters. This is not all black or white. Sometimes things are changed when the artist cuts the song. Sometimes because they have a great idea, sometimes to make the artist feel comfortable singing it or because the artist has a big ego. Whatever. It depends. But the producers and writers always try to present the best song in their vision.

This is very true. If you havn't lived under a rock the last 15 years it's pretty clear Rihanna is a very capable singer in her own right. If anything it shows that she and Kuk her vocal producer is professional enough to let the song win. If the demo is good enough, there is no need to add flair. This song in particular would just sound worse with Ariana Grande style wails and stuff. So all respect to Rihanna.
And to all other commenters. This is not all black or white. Sometimes things are changed when the artist cuts the song. Sometimes because they have a great idea, sometimes to make the artist feel comfortable singing it or because the artist has a big ego. Whatever. It depends. But the producers and writers always try to present the best song in their vision.
