Future Shock

Turns out that, at 100 beats per minute (bpm), the music is WAY too slow for the lyrics - needs to be at least 133 bpm to have any kind of energy. Unfortunately just speeding up the music is not a solution - loses the groove. Tried various tricks to change tempos or overlay 133.3 bpm lyrics over a 100bpm drum track but nothing worked very well. At this point the music needs to be rebuilt around the vocal line, so I've been recording some vocal tracks and trying to find a new, faster, edgier, tougher sound to go with it. Also figured the term 'singularity' was way too technical - don't want to have to provide a FAQ with the lyrics - so I've been reworking the chorus by riffing on the idea of 'future shock'. Latest lyrics are here.
