Amerigo Gazaway’s *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series’ latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled “Yasiin Gaye”. Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye’s Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey’s tangled raps and Gaye’s soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.

Bio:

Since moving to Austin, Texas in 2015, cellist Dan Radin has earned a reputation for being a go-to hired gun in the scene.  He’s backed The Voice contestants, played in bands opening for Grammy/Tony winners, and performed at official SXSW showcases.  This year, the cellist decided to reveal himself to the world as an equally-capable singer-songwriter with the release of his first solo album, “Romance for Antiheroes.”

Radin’s vision of cello-led acoustic rock prominently displays his singer-songwriter roots, garnering frequent comparisons to John Mayer and Dave Matthews.  Radin’s debut solo album, “Romance for Antiheroes,” is a collection of songs documenting failed relationships; however, at its core, the album is a coming out party for a shy cellist who has begun to come into his own as a full-fledged artist.

******
Story Behind the Song:

The album “Romance for Antiheroes” carries a common theme of failed relationships due to inherently viewing oneself as an antihero/not worthy of a loving relationship.  In the album’s first single, “Pickpocket,” the narrator grapples with things left unsaid between himself and a former flame, ultimately leaving his imagination to make up a fictional dialogue between the two.

Pickpocket began as a student project. Radin wrote most of the song the day prior going into the studio at The Recording Conservatory of Austin to help a student with a project where he needed to record a local artist for class. Radin finished writing the song during the 6-hour studio session and came out with an acoustic demo of what would become the final song.

An unfinished demo of Pickpocket was the teaser song in an Indiegogo fundraiser launched on 7/31/23.  The campaign fully funded its $10,000 goal in less than 4 hours from 80 backers.  At time of writing, the fundraiser has raised $16,000 and still has 26 days left in the campaign period.  Indiegogo link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dan-radin-s-first-album/x/33918917#/

“Pickpocket” Lyrics:

Put in the work, put in the time
put his plan in motion, put his heart on the line
Put his best coat on, put away his pride
put you down with ease when he was saying goodbye
Thinking of him, but you’re thinking too much how the
thought of this guy somehow isn’t enough
So you’re thinking of keeping these thoughts to yourself now you
may as well shout it, you’re thinking out loud

Say you’d rather come back to my house
All the sudden you’re honest, it’s freakin me out
It’s not so hard to imagine
This car ride never happened
Say you’d rather come back to my house
All the sudden you’re honest, it’s freakin me out
It’s not so hard to imagine
This car ride never happened

Pick me up, pick a time to meet
Pick a spot at the bar, so everybody can see
How you pick another winner as you pickpocket love
And we pick up exactly where we left off
You told me back then that you didn’t care
You told me that you didn’t see us being here
You told me you’d tell me again and again
Now a dozen years later tell me what has changed

Say you’d rather come back to my house
All the sudden you’re honest, it’s freakin me out
It’s not so hard to imagine
This car ride never happened
Say you’d rather come back to my house
All the sudden you’re honest, it’s freakin me out
It’s not so hard to imagine
This car ride never happened 

And on the way home you got
quiet, Wonder what
happened Is it too late to change your
mind, In the
meantime I let my
Imagination drive

Say you’d rather come back to my house
All the sudden you’re honest, it’s freakin me out
It’s not so hard to imagine
This car ride never happened
Say you’d rather come back to my house
All the sudden you’re honest, it’s freakin me out
It’s not so hard to imagine
This car ride never happened

Pickpocket
