Well I’ve just finished recording a new track with my sister, Nadine, who has kindly provided vocals for me. The song is called “Make My Day” I have just finished mastering it.

Remember to click “420P” if it isn’t already clicked to get the best sound quality.

The song originally started off as a motown track. I recently finished a cover of a Space Raiders tune and wanted to do something similar but original. So I used a similar beat from the cover and re-constructed it to get a nice motown beat (which you’ll hear in the song.) From there I experimented with some brass samples and some old school stuff. I didn’t intend for the song have vocals, but once I had finished with the basic track, I knew it was missing something. It was either a sax over the top or a vocal track, so I went for the vocals. My sister is known for having a Lily Allen/Kate Nash type voice, so she decided to write some lyrics and I recorded them and stuck them in the song.
