Dua Saleh
- ... that Dua Saleh recorded their first single, "First Take", in a single take? In Frey's home studio, he played a four-bar beat that Saleh mumbled over until they announced they were ready to record; Frey expected four or eight bars from Saleh but they ended up performing an entire track in a single take, with Frey manually extending the beat to keep up with Saleh as they sang.[9] According to Frey, the resulting single take was "such a good performance that we decided this is what we're going to run with"; it was released on May 10, 2017, as "First Take", Saleh's first single, under the stage name Dua. (Ref 9)

Copyvio alright, hook is interesting, article is well sourced and long enough. However, the hook is not supported by the reference. The blog never explicitly states that "First Take" was completed in its first take. Also, find a way to rephrase the hook. The phrasing is a bit awkward with the word "first" appearing three times and "take" twice. QPQ still needed and I recommend that you find an image to add to the article.

- Thanks for the review, Nice4What. I've struck "first" from the hook and added another source to that paragraph that also mentions "First Take" was, if not the first take, then recorded in one take. In terms of word repetition, this was intentional; I was playing around with phrasings that would give the reader pause and make them return to read over the hook/click on the article. If it behooves you, here's an ALT1: ... that Dua Saleh recorded their debut single in just one take? Also, I agree and would love to have a picture in this article but no suitable free images exist at this point. I imagine this will change in the coming years if Saleh keeps creating music and performing but for the time being, I've been unable to find a free image on Flickr or YouTube. QPQ done. —Collint c 03:27, 15 February 2020 (UTC)
