Really excited about this one! This track has been a few years in the making, and I think it’s time to share it with everyone.
For this single, I wanted to give studio recording, mixing, and mastering another shot. I’ve recorded and put out demos a long time ago (still up on SoundCloud by the way) back when I was attending the University of New Haven. I had no idea what I was doing back then. It’s crazy to look back on the progress made.
I look forward to Friday’s release!
Big shoutout to everyone who made this track possible.
First and foremost, thank you
@justinfroese for giving me an opportunity back in 2023 to record at Studio West for the
@soulfulsongwriterscollective record night. (The original rhythm guitar track and BGVs from that night were used in this version.) I was sitting on these stems for too long and I’m glad I opened up the project file in December—it ended up being the catalyst to start recording again. Was glad
@joesummersmusic and
@elizabeth.bowersox attended that night too (they sang some BGVs!) Thank you!
To the homie
@kylethekorean for laying down the kit! Kyle’s a talented multi-instrumentalist that plays with great feel and really helped to bring out the song’s personality.
To
@cpalmer_music for always laying down sexy saxophone lines and being receptive to my musical ideas!
To
@someguybran for laying down some tasty lead guitar. Strat-maxing at its finest!
To
@kris_towne at
@capricornstudios_ for the great drum recordings. I always love the sound they capture in Studio A! Some of you know I recorded my first EP with Kris, so it felt like good old times getting back in there to record my music.
To
@heyannastrong for the beautiful album artwork 😍! Anna and I worked together from conception to Adobe Illustrator to bring her hand drawings to life in a digital format. Can’t wait to share more of her art in the future.
And to my fellow audio engineer homies who help lend their critical ears on the mix while I was working on it! (Thank you
@barbeauaudio @andresalejandrosalomon @jonthefunkymonk and
@berecatt for helping me become a better mixing engineer. I respect each of you for all the great work you do.)
