A vocalist wants to work with me on some music if I write the lyrics and melodies. I can mix, produce, etc but I've never done anything with vocals. I feel like anything I write would be dull or cringe.

Do y'all have advice or anything I should try to avoid?

Some advice I've seen is to write the poetry first, then build the music around it, with the intent of tjose words filling in the notes you want in the thing. But I've never written lyrics before.

Or do the reverse and just use the voice to say words that give vibes and kind of use the voice as an instrument, without any proper 'lyrical' content?
