A prime example of that off the cuff attitude reveals itself in the music writing as well, such as in the making of “Ready to Fall,” where Polow takes off the traditional urban digs for a rock guitar-laden track that may catch some of the Polow faithful off-guard.
“Originally, when I made the track, I was messing around with some samples, and I had to replay some of the samples,” Polow says. “I was with Mike [Hartnett] from the rock group Rehab; he's been working with me since before I even knew how to produce. We speak the same language musically. I got him to play guitar on there. I wanted to come from more of a rock background, and he just makes what I do a little bit different. It gave it that odd but special sound. I try to use musicians that don't do what I do, and that's the reason that I get the sound that I get.”
