I keep hearing this about Feel About You, and I just dont hear it. To me it clearly sounds like a Christine composition -- the melody doesn't sound like something Lindsey would do. Now the production is a different story -- Lindsey's touch is all over it, especially in the chorus where they harmonize. But as far as the songwriting, I don't hear Lindsey in it at all. I think it's solely a Christine write, along the lines of Skies The Limit.

The problem there is that we know its co-written.

Ah, see, I didn't know that. Do we know which of the as-yet-unheard songs are also co-writes?

yeah, it's somewhere in one of these threads but i'm lazy to look now. out of 5 Christine's i think 3 are co-writes. they talked about it in interviews - LB said he had some chords and she came in and put a melody and some lyrics over the basic song structire he had. Feel About You feels like it would be one of those songs to me, i think that melody is not really his.

apparently others feel differently. we'll see.

It seems weird that all she would contribute is lyrics. It doesn't seem like an efficient use of her talents nor what Lindsey would be looking for in a collaborator. He knows what she brings to the table.

except we are all speculating who wrote the melody for FAY.

maybe he is and maybe she is or maybe neither is true, but the amount of "LB is an a**hole" while "Christine is helpless" and lets him do whatever he wants undertone that comes from all these opinions is really bothering me.

Yes, I've been surprised about who wrote what before, with the Tango collaborations. I'm not assuming that Lindsey wrote the FAY music, just because his production is all over it.

I agree. I mean his production is on Hold Me too and his voice is all over it. It's still a Christine song. It didn't occur to me that he wrote FAY. Michele

The fact that their talents mesh so well people don't know who is who is a hoot

No arguments here. I agree.

I remember when I first saw Ricky it was only credited to Christine and I thought, "Well, that sounds like Lindsey." I mean not just musically, but personality wise. But I don't think that so much with FAY.

That specific collaborative dynamic, where she wrote words and melody over Lindsey's chords, was for RED SUN. Christine mentioned that she also brought basic song tracks to him and he greatly enhanced them. My assumption is that FAY is one of the latter category collaborations. It sounds and feels essentially like one of her songs with LB support.

I very clearly hear piano on FAY.
