For example the production of 'Social Network', 'C'mon Darlin' and 'Fell for the Badman' and 'easy option' really represents the grittier, fiestier, pop, rnb, reggae side of my music taste and influences, and then tracks like 'springtime love affair' show the softer side, and its special because its the first song I wrote for the album, and the first song I think I'd written where I kind of took a step back and thought, 'yeah this is possible, we have the ability to make a really great album here'. I don't think i could pick an absolute favorite because I love them all for different reasons. Is there a song on Cocaine Love that is your favorite? And of course Cocaine Love is the most personal track on the album. There are elements of my real life in there, songs like 'come my way' and 'social network' are very much written from my perception of the said scenarios. Many of the songs are spontaneous and plucked from an idea that could stem from a great guitar or vocal hook, or an interesting title even.each tells a different story so it is like a fictional script, and not always about the same thing or same someone, but they all compliment each other in their styles. Were the songs spontaneous, scripted, or a little bit of both? We went with the natural flow of creativity and sometimes worked on more than one song at a time, or i would have melodies and lyrics and id send them to David and vice-versa through soundcloud, or when we'd have jam sessions, etc. I took the natural lead surrounding the vocal, lyrics and ,melody, and he took the lead on the music and instruments. We both had the same ambition to write and found we were writing song after song, and it was working so well we decided to create a Solo album for me. I was working with him on a project for another band, and we had a couple of spontaneous songwriting sessions and just clicked on a musical level.
The process began when i met up with who is now my songwriting partner, David Nevard.
What was the process of creating the songs for this project?
