Our sound transformation tells a story about a relationship and how it progresses over time. It illustrates the many challenges that come with being in a relationship such as other people getting involved. The sound starts off in the middle of a problematic situation of a relationship. The song “Back to Black” by Beyonce demonstrates the problems that arise when another person becomes involved. Basically, the girl is saying that if the guy leaves her for another girl she is going to go “back to black.”

The next song “Don’t Trust Me” by 3OH!3 shows a guy in the new crowd describing the girl who is now creating a poor reputation for herself . The song “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” by Fergie continues the “party girl” mentality of the girl because her relationship is still in limbo. She is saying she is going to party until the guy comes to his senses. Eventually, the song “Only One” by Yellowcard solidifies the guy’s decision to stay with the girl. We wonder if she will take him back.

We combined loud, unique sounds to give off a young, relatable feel to the situation we are trying to portray. Even though the sounds are all contrasting, they display the ups and downs of a relationship and the typical teenage relationship problems in an exemplary, but over the top way.
