Curtis tells MTV that when it comes to producing a mixtape or writing a remix, it’s as easy as Sunday morning.
“Mister Cee plays a lot of that music still. I had Cee send me a CD
that he thought would be hot to hear. Production-wise, I wanted them to
still feel what the youthful audience feels is hot right now. Writing a
remix is easy. It’s just putting the words to the scenario. If you have
no production plan, that’s when it starts to get easy. Mixtape material
is easy for me. Two days, three days, [I record it]. I know who I’m
talking to.”
And in case you don’t know, he’s referring to the “general public.” Gotta love those buzz words.
This excerpt does an excellent job of balancing mystery with character development. Sarah’s transformation feels believable and unsettling at the same time, and Nico’s internal struggle adds emotional realism. The fact that she forgets both trivial details and life-altering events shows how completely her past has been erased. I love how the story hints that the truth is still buried beneath the surface, creating a sense that the past will inevitably resurface, no matter how much is forgotten. tvg
