Produced by DEEGAN, Eldar Zey, and Matt Allen, “Make It Better” sparkles with ethereal soundscapes, pop earcandy, and DEEGAN’s uncanny creativity in weilding his multidimensional vocal chops as his lead instrument. After a session with Matt Allen who had written the song’s chord progression, Deegan and Eldar burned the midnight oil to follow a stroke of inspiration. “It was one of those where you download it from the universe and run with the momentum the second you’re inspired,” says DEEGAN. Before calling it a night, DEEGAN took a voice note with an experimental idea for the chorus. “I was like, ‘I’m going to say each word individually, and then auto tune it really hard and chop each word short,’’' says DEEGAN. “I thought if I go to sleep and don't at least get some proof of concept, it's gonna escape me and fly off to someone else. I was able to achieve the next day with my microphone and in the DAW exactly what I said on the voice memo. Most times it's like, “I said I was gonna do this and then I started playing with it and became something else.” But I remember the satisfaction of saying it out loud and then following through with that idea and it coming out exactly how I heard it.” Letting the lyrics pour out over the beat, DEEGAN made room for the song’s thematic concept to reveal itself. “The overall theme, once I started letting it spill out of me was like, ‘through dark times your partner can be the stronghold or the rock for you. Other lyrics are the contrast of that when you become codependent dumping all of your trauma onto your partner. It's about the healthy spectrum.” Finding its center in the infectious hook, “Make It Better,” finds blissful balance. ---- This is the seventh track from HIGH FREQUENCY Volume 2 — a compilation album curated by NOISE and the web3 music community.
