Handy dandy guide for all the fusions thus far, in order from appearance on the show.
And before anyone says it, I know that Greg+Rose is not technically a fusion, but it is a transference of a gem, so I put it in there. ^^ As more gem fusions show up, I will update this post.
This definitely qualifies as a career highlight for me! The song was composed by Rebecca Sugar, and an initial demo arrangement was made by Jeff Liu, which Estelle sang over. Estelle is one of my favorite modern R&B singers, so this was a daunting and yet enticing proposition to arrange.
Taking Jeff’s arrangement as a guideline, we really wanted to emphasize the euphoria of Garnet being reformed. Rebecca told us to capture the feeling of “there’s no way she could lose”. I also felt that the new Garnet design warranted a new Garnet bass sound (for those of you keeping score: where Pearl is piano, Garnet is represented by synthbass), so this was a great opportunity to showcase it. I also felt like the bridge needed a synth solo, so I went all out on this one!
Aivi did a fantastic job adding to this arrangement by making the string sections magical (especially at the end when the song turns dramatic) which were then beautifully performed by Jeff Ball. Everybody did such a great job with this song, and I’m extremely proud of the final result.
Thank you all for watching the season finale! Tune in tomorrow for Full Disclosure!
When Garnets done singing the first chorus and the camera pans over to peridot and she says “Don’t touch that!”
Did anyone else think Peridot was about to drop the hottest, fastest rap verse or was that just me
DONT TOUCH THAT! You traitors and freaks! You’re weak! With technology that’s simply antique! You think you can beat me? Ha! I have some critique, Don’t speak, for you’d better turn back and retreat!
