Hi all
So here's another collaboration with
@Binladeda and
@pompeyjazz AKA the South Coast Massive.
This one was a backing track from Bin that, to me, had a charming, slightly wobbly analogue feel to it... as if it was being heard off cassette tape down a phone line. That got me thinking of some lyrics around that theme, and I tried to blend a happy/sad cocktail in the words, imagining a guy waiting for some news he is secretly dreading... maybe test results or something. Vocally it was right at the top of my range so not sure I get away with it - but you'll let me know. Pompeyjazz gave great feedback and steered the ship throughout; he has also stuck our nascent album on Bandcamp and it'll be on streaming services near you shortly.
Thanks for any feedback.
