This week’s grin
happened Monday. I’ve been working with James LeBlanc for the past 15 years. We’ve
written songs that have cumulatively sold more than 20 million units but he’s
probably my favorite co-write for these two reasons: 1) There are no obstacles
between his soul and his voice (or his hands) 2) When we build a track in the studio
we are like extensions of each others' musicality. It’s almost seamless…and
effortless. We wrote a song last week called “White Noise” and Monday we met at
my studio and spent the day building a soulful, energetic track around an
infectious groove (172BPM). When the day was done we had something that neither
of us could have done without the other…which is the definition of great collaboration.
We took smoke breaks. We ate banana bread that Dawn made. We shot hoops. We
created music that we both want to listen to over and over. And when you’ve
made commercial music your entire adult life… that is treasure.
I’ll post
the song when it’s mixed.
Tomorrow,
pick of the week.
Happy
Hunting.
