Upbeat/energetic/flirty background vocals

Seeking a voice that has a playful, youthful vibe to it and the song itself is playful and kind of silly, lyrically. I came up with the drum beat and based everything off of that, I may simplify the bass and tweak some parts (get someone to play a trumpet solo through the bridge/find a better lead hook for the choruses). Anyway, I couldn’t come up with any lyrics so I just wrote the dumbest most cliched thing I could think of - baby, crazy, maybe etc. I guess the conte ... xt is ‘wanting to fool around with your partner purely because you’re bored’. My vocals can’t go high enough to do give the chorus enough energy so I want a female counterpoint to sing higher and explore a bit melodically while the lead vocal stays as is.

The job description is really to record several alternative ad libs, runs, oohs/ahhs/responses to a) amplify/elevate the choruses AND verses and b) provide some alternative melodies/harmonies to layer as a chorus backing vocal. It can be as funky, flirtatious, flamboyant and fun as you like, if you can feel free to experiment and send your takes, I’ll take care of editing and arranging them and sprinkling them through the track.

Like I said, I think it needs a lead horn part in the bridge and a bit of work on the mix, but most of the production is done except the female backing parts. Here’s the track, I hope you enjoy it and will be able to work on it with us.
