VINTAGE VIBES AND THE POWER OF THE PLAYLIST :

 

On the precipice of the difficult second album, I’ve been compiling the playlist of inspiration for the studio days. I find that it gives an audible starting point to the kind of sounds that have inspired my writing or the sound I’m trying to emulate across the new tracks. When working with a producer, I can never be too organised and I find a playlist is a super simple way to convey what I’m thinking when I sometimes struggle to relay musically what I’m after. I dug through my shelf of old CD’s, mainly from the late 80’s and early 90’s and found some gems which made the playlist.

The three big UK Rock acts of the time that left a lasting impression with me were Def Leppard, Thunder and Little Angels.

I remember seeing Little Angels at the Hammersmith Apollo in 1993 when the mighty Rodger Daltrey came on for ‘My Generation’, awesome night, awesome band.
