I think I have landed on the ground now.
It always takes me a little while after being swallowed by my music world before I feel like I’m human again. The past few months have been one big blob of things I never dreamt I’d be doing. I would bet you all the chocolate in the world that I would have never imagined organising a tour series, or releasing 3 songs in less than 3 months, or playing more gigs than all of last year combined. But it happened and just like that, I close off that chapter and I start to wedge open a new one.
The new chapter begins with a new song and it’s out today. It’s called ‘Something Else’ and it’s a project that is a really really long time coming.
This song is the final release from my first ever recording project. We recorded the song initially in a beautiful Farm Studio with Geoff McGahan with some of the best musicians I know, Bradley McCaw, Steele Chabau and Darran Muller. Two years later, I got in touch with Yanto Browning (who’s won awards for pretty much everything) and he helped me finish the song with the help of Danny Widdicombe who played electric guitar on the track.
Funny story about Danny Widdicombe (who if you don’t know, go listen to him, he’s great) during my studies we had one-on-one songwriting workshops in the final year and Danny was my tutor (this was a good four years ago). For the class we had to write a song a week, and funnily enough ‘Something Else’ was one of them. So it was a full circle when Danny agreed to play on the track, super stoked about that!
Anywho, enough from me. If you get a chance to listen to the song, let me know what you think.
