WHY DID YOU SELECT THIS TRACK TO SUBMIT TO THE IMAs? I think it’s a strong concept and a bright catchy tune…very relatable.
WHAT UNUSUAL INSTRUMENTS OR TECHNIQUES DID YOU USE ON THIS ALBUM? It has the same chord progression through the entire song. I’ve always loved songs that do this and yet have great dynamics at the same time. It really worked on this one, as it feels very distinct in its parts, but it’s the same four chords the entire way. It was recorded all together in the studio with all the players playing at the same time as I was singing.
