Back in March, the deep house remix of my second single, Falling Back Together, premiered on Deep Sounds Soundcloud account. This was amazing as they have such a huge following on soundcloud and meant that my music was able to reach a wider audience! To this date, the mix has had over 68K plays and over 1000 likes! The deep house mix is my favourite remix of Falling Back Together, so if you like dance music I recommend you give it a listen!
The UKG remix of Falling Back Together premiered on The Popshock, on 16th Feb 2016!
The UKG mix is the first remix to premiere from the Falling Back Together single. It’s really exciting to have so many great remixes of Falling Back Together as they all bring something different to the table! I think the UKG mix is a great mix for the club with a heavy bassline and catchy hook, and that’s why it is actually the lead mix for the campaign.
Along with the Original and UKG Mixes, the single will also feature a House mix, a DUB mix and a Deep House Vocal Mix. I can’t wait to share them all, but in the meantime, check out the UKG mix below!
At the moment I’m in the process of promoting my second single, Falling Back Together, which will be released on 8th April! I wrote this song quite a few years ago and I have always loved playing it at the piano. ‘Falling Back Together’ is actually my favourite of all the songs I have ever written, so I’m super excited to be able to share it with people.
As I write all of my own songs, they always have a personal story behind them, and Falling Back Together is no exception.
The track is about a couple that keep trying to leave each other but are always drawn back together. At the start of the song the girl is trying to leave the relationship behind, but she knows that no matter how far she runs, she will always find herself in the same place. They have such an intense relationship, with a connection that they just cannot shake, so no matter how much they fight and drift apart, they know that they can’t escape each other in the end.
I guess it’s a love song, but a bit of a reluctant one!
The single will consist of the Original Mix of the track, along with House, Deep House, UKG and DUB House mixes. I think the mixes are really great as they add a different vibe to the song and make it more upbeat and dancey! Below is the soundcloud link to the Original Mix… I hope you enjoy it!!
The plan for my music video has been changed a little bit since my last post! Me and my producers spoke to the promo company that we are planning to use to promote the single, Stuck In Limbo, and they felt the video was too much like real life and a different approach may be better. As the track is a house mix, the plan is now to have a more upbeat and cheerful video focused on beautiful scenery with intimate and close up shots of me and a friend on a road trip. Certain elements of the previous storyboard remain in the new plan but with more of an emphasis on summer and fun shots.
The video will start off with me in a busy city and this scene will be shot with a time lapse effect, where it looks like the surroundings are moving at hyper-speed whilst I’m not moving. This is meant to represent the ‘limbo’ theme of the song. The rest of the video’s scenes are meant to represent a dream or memory state to a better time and take place on a road trip to the coast. The location is Dungeness, Kent, where there are some cool old boats and other interesting features on the beach to shoot around, as well as the sea and sand itself. The whole of the video apart from the short opening section in the city will focus on the scenery and natural beauty, as the aim is to keep the video upbeat and not too serious, like an escape from limbo to a better place and time.
I’m filming the video this weekend, Sunday 23rd August, in Milton Keynes and Dungeness, and despite being a little nervous I’m very excited to be doing my first music video! I’m working with a great team of really creative and lovely people, so I have total faith that despite the changes to the storyboard, the video will turn out great! I’m sure my next post will have some beautiful pictures from the shoot!
This song is going to be on my upcoming EP and is unique as it’s the only song I have ever written where the lyrics were the component written last. Me and my producers decided we wanted to do a song with a chilled ambient house type feel, so they sent me a backing track to write to and see what I could come up with. It was a bit of an experiment to be honest as I had no idea if I would be able to write a song this way, as I usually write at the piano and sort the lyrics before the melody and accompaniment! However, I actually really enjoyed challenging myself and pushing my writing to a new level!
The subject matter of the song is also unique in relation to my other songs as it is completely fabricated and not based on my own personal experiences. I decided I wanted to write about cheating in a relationship but not condemning it in a black and white way, so I added the complication of a friendship into the mix. The story is about two friends who, whilst both in relationships with other people, cross the line and spend the night together. The song is about the consequences of a flirty friendship going too far and the implications on the relationships they are in. It’s about not being able to forget what happened and not knowing whether the friendship could go back how it was before. Anyway….. I really hope you enjoy the song and stay tuned for the house and garage remixes which will be coming soon…..
