My idea was to compose esoteric love songs and have them performed by different people. I am lucky to have many musically gifted friends, and instead of putting together a conventional band, I felt it would be more resourceful of me to build a different band around each song -- as it suits the song. In this way, my musical friends can be instruments for my ideas.
The song "Love Myself," for example, features Allana Gacke on the backing vocals. She is a wonderful gospel singer, and is great to work with. I composed the song originally on my computer, using FL Studio, with her in mind for the vocals. Then, I brought it into the studio and Jason Nelson added a drum track, then replaced my computerized bass, guitar and keyboards with live instruments. Jason Nelson also mixed the track. He has probably put as much work into this song as I have, if not moreso!
If you are a musician and want to work with me on future songs for this project, let me know. I am always writing new material, and it helps me write when I have someone in mind to perform it.
Let me know what you think!
