“Your Love” The 3rd single from the “Brainwave” EP released on November 22, 2019.
What Harry has to say: "I wrote the song along with my friend Adam G on October/November 2017 while we where trying to come up with an idea for my forthcoming project "Raindrop". The song is about someone who initially gives you the impression that she/he wants you. Later things get trickier. Basically we wrote the lyrics and music really quickly as well the music production but I recorded the vocals a few months later in 2018."
"At the same time I wanted to make a collab so I asked on a forum if anyone are interested. I received some messages (about 3-4) but I chose John Traxx because our voices went good together, the test was actually to give him the demo, listen to it and send me his vocals and that was the vocals I kept. He did his own thing at the end and he inspired me to make a middle-8 kind of finale."
"He couldn't re-do the vocals based on the slightly different vocal melody because he was traveling that summer and so we decided to keep his last part. I went farther and evolved it with some rock touches." - 11/24/2019
What was it like making the song? What program did you use?
It was a quick production because we synchronized well, good chemistry. Because I'm a new producer (since mid-2017), I started with Garageband. It's not obvious because everything is manual and I put a lot of work making it perfect, even the beat it's custom. Also I want to say that I produce my songs because it's hard to communicate your art with others and have good results and how you want it.
"Any other music plans besides "Your Love"?"
Planning stuff it's just not always working. It takes time to have a courage when it's no one to expect new music from you. As an indie artist I learned over the years that, if you want to do this for a living, you must go out and try everything to get on spot. Family and life responsibilities will take you back many times and you will got lost early in doing a job that doesn't express you. Keep faith (and you better work b***c :P)
I have a goal to finish my EP (Working title "Raindrop"), accompanying it with artistic and interesting stuff like music videos and photos (I have the photos now let's make videos). Also some remixes are coming (including one from Andreu and MonsterKID) and I'm going to re-do an unused remix production too for my previous single "Touch" probably next year. That's what I can confirm right now, with some ideas already floating in my head for the near future! (Let's hope)
"Are the lyrics inspired by your own experience?"
Yes and no. As the song is co-written I can't say it is. But we all have some experience that the first impression wasn't what we discovered later. In life this is really common, not only on sexual relationships. And also there is the opposite situation. :P
"Do you plan on making a song in greek?"
I did actually, but I think as the English language is pretty universal on the web I'm going with it. I have some unreleased Greek originals and versions of my songs. One of them is "Crazy" (Listen to My Heart), first written in Greek. The first and only single from a cancelled EP. Later I did the English version with my longtime collaborator Adam.
"Excellent work! Are you planning to make this song a music video?"
I have some ideas already. Next year maybe...
