This song pays tribute to my eternal love for Michael Jackson. "Thriller" remains to this very day the best selling album of all time. "Beat it" was the third single released on from that album, and it provides the foundation for the percussion in this track. "Beat it" is also notorious for hard guitar riffs, and a sample of those can be found in the second half of the tune. The genre of "White Hot Lover" stays true to the pop, post-disco era of the 80's, and mixes in some tricks of modern-day engineering and deeper R&B bass hits.

Not only was "Thriller" the greatest selling album of all time, it also maintains the record for "Most Billboard Number Ones from a Single Album." However, it should be noted that in late 2011, Katy Perry tied this record with her own "Teenage Dream." While I am not near as fond of Katy Perry's work as I am Michael Jackson's, I pay homage to her during the already sample-heavy interlude by tweaking the words of a melody from her song "Teenage Dream" and tucking it in comfortably to the latter-end of the song.

"White Hot Lover" was inspired by late nights, watching people hookup at clubs on TV with my wife. I am not much of a "partier", but this song personifies my imagination of a random hookup put to music. I hope that you enjoy it. Please feel free to leave feedback. We are all trying to get better, and it's difficult to do without critique. Thanks for listening :)

White Hot Lover

This is the music Hans Zimmer wrote for the "Interstellar" trailer recreated using midi instruments on Reason version 6.5. I hope you enjoy!
