The talkbox allows him to maintain an extremely high or low pitched sound for an extended period of time, as well as being able bend the pitch of the sound. I became so obsessed with its style of music and the genius of Zapp’s main vocal Roger Troutman, whose talkbox enables him to make sounds that are not vocally possible. I had heard of “California Love” before, but once I listened to it again, my life was never the same. Although I don’t remember what I told him, I still remember him telling me that his was “California Love.” In my sophomore English class, my friend junior Varun Meduri, asked me what my favorite rap song was.
My obsession with Zapp started last April. If you know me at all, you know that I am a diehard fan of Zapp, an old school funk band from the 1980s and 1990s that popularized the voice-altering talkbox, a predecessor to autotune that allows the user to bend the sound frequencies from the played instrument. Because of its unique beats and vocals, it has always stood out as my favorite Zapp song. This song was way ahead of its time, revolving around a man using technology to find a special girl. “Computer Love” is the only song I have ever shed a tear listening to. “Cepp-dee-doo-duh-do-do-dooooo.” If you walk into my room at any given time, there is a high chance you will hear this melodic and slow tune from the song “Computer Love” by Zapp. Junior talks about his favorite band and thier music.
