Hey there guys. It's the vibes web3 music competition week 35. I've seen different entries—spectacular ones to be more precise —each with their own unique personality and quality. But I do think one of them specifically caught my attention. I was told about this community by @ucngozi and yes, it's Indeed an amazing yet complex place to be in. I'm slowly adapting and in about one week I would have fully gotten acquainted with how the system around here works.
So let's start with @mmeyenejoseph entry. One of the top 15 contestant who came up with an entry "Right here" by Brandy
This mmeyenejoseph cover is a beautiful Web3 "Vibes" rendition of Brandy's late-'90s single "Right Here," accessible on 3Speak on Hive/Peakd. In a roughly 3-minute clip, the performer enters the realm of Brandy's silky mid-'90s R&B, delivering a heartfelt, genuine vocal that conveys the song's lovey-dovey atmosphere.
1. Vocal interpretation
Right from the initial lines itself, mmeyenejoseph achieves a rich timbre of voice—clear, sharp, and expressive. She phrases as the soft breathing and subtle inflections of Brandy's, but renders the song in her own manner, making the chorus intimate and real. The vocals flow like a smooth transition from verse to bridge, a sign of good technical skills and feel for emotion.
2. Musical arrangement
The instrumental support is understated yet effective. It glides along on a chill cycle of shimmeringly warm electric piano and gently coaxing percussive fills, creating an extraterrestrial soundscape that supports the singer's voice. It's a mellow, Web3-suited production giving the song's soul room to breathe and keeping the accompaniment out of the singer's vocal way, much like in the majority of back-to-the-roots Vibes covers where digital nakedness is wedded with actual performance.
3. Stage presence & delivery
On screen, the video is minimalist: singer before a minimalist background, concentrating every attention on her face and voice. The look is appropriate to the decentralized ethos of Vibes Web3—flash over production sheen. She is authentic on stage; she is comfortable and present, talking directly to camera like Brandy's initial performance.
4. Context within the Vibes community
A part of the Vibes Web3 song competition, this is a winner of the collective vibe among global creatives coming together on Hive/3Speak. Despite failing to obtain figures for direct interactions, in the Vibes hubs there are hints of positive environments where artists are backing each other up—whether that is a Westlife cover, Ed Sheeran, or gospel hymns. mmeyenejoseph's interpretation is the winner here with its warmth.
5. Opportunities and takeaways
Conclusion
mmeyenejoseph performs a beautiful, genuine cover of Brandy's "Right Here" that works or doesn't work based on simplicity and emotional integrity.
The performance confidently places her voice in the center of focus, supported by a minimalist accompaniment that is equally as passionate about delivering on her performance. At the hub of Vibes Web3—a site that celebrates decentralized musical creativity—this recording resonates with the most forceful chord, best capturing the ensemble's commitment to raw talent and real-life narrative.
Some tuning up in mix and layering of melodies is needed for mmeyenejoseph to transform this to captivatingly spectacular. Well done on such a heartfelt and true interpretation and yeah, good luck in the competition ✨
