Yooo this is my second single 'Change'. From an outsiders perspective it's a break up song I guess. But it's more than that to me... To me it's an inner cry of defiance, a promise. A resolution to myself to start moving forward in life. I wrote it after a breakup during the first covid lockdown of summer 2020. It was painful because it was one of them where life got in the way of something great. I didn't want it to be all for nothing...

Change

I really love this song and I'm very proud to share it. I hope you like it as much as I do. Had a great team work with me on this so shouts to them also - namely:

Tom Purwar - Lead guitar
Tom Girling - Drums
Charlie Kirby - Co - producer and mix engineer
Sirkus studios - Mastering services

It was recorded at the back end of 2021 and the start of 2022 at Mount Street studio, Nottingham, UK.

Tunnel Vision

This is the first entirely self-produced bedroom recording I've ever completed so this is a proud moment. There's a bit of a background noise but it kind of adds to the track in a weird way. Nonetheless, I've still a lot to learn. Ratings to a man called Craig for lending me his glockenspiel. As for the song, I wanted to capture a mood more than anything else, although there is a story behind it... As always, let me know your thoughts.

Pop Confessional (Acoustic)

So I bought Bon Iver tickets this morning and got excited and did a cover of Skinny Love... To me, this song is near perfect just how it is so I didn't play around with it. Usually I don't attempt to cover my favourite songs because it's so difficult to think you've done them any kind of justice, but this one's always been a real temptation because it's so raw - physically and spiritually. Hopefully I captured a bit of that. Let me know your thoughts x J
