SOUNDSTAGE VOL 1.
Drug to Me by Ben P
This track was originally written about a year ago by Ben as part of a really prolific period of lyrical and melodic ideas. The track has been through a few iterations but Ben settled on an arrangement that is reminiscent of 60s Bossa Nova and Jazz records, especially Getz/Gilberto from 1964.
SOUNDSTAGE VOL 1.
One Thing Only by Amalie
This track takes a different approach to arranging, songs normally grow through the verse towards the chorus. Amalie chose to flip this idea on its head with each chorus coming down in feel to really allow her vocals and the story of the song to cut through. This track was a real learning curve for Amalie as she not only wrote and arranged the song but also recorded every instrument
