Guys, "How Did I Get Here" is finally here. Madness.
It's beautiful and raw—an album I always wished I would be part of. I think I poured everything I had into this music, just like everyone else working on it.
I love it. It's pure, it's dreamy, trippy, deep, and moving.
It takes me places.
Back to the cold, grey writing days at Angelic Residential Studios near London where we wrote "Palaces"-such an anthemic yet melancholic pub song. But also into the buzzing energy of Costa Rica, where nature has a power you can't feel anywhere else in this world. I believe that everything surrounding us melts subconsciously into the music and the lyrics.
So, this is a big shoutout to one of the most honest and distinct voices on this planet, @louist91.
Brother, I gotta say it was one of the best times of my life when you kidnapped us on that little airplane and took us to one of the most beautiful places to write music.
It was late-night beers in weird bars in Santa Teresa and morning swims in the Pacific bathtub (I know, still too cold for you haha), ice-cold fresh smoothies, and hours and hours of writing, jamming, singing, crying, dancing, food comas, and overflowing rivers we couldn't cross.
Not gonna lie, also loved the big f***ing villa with the infinity pool haha. And I saved many people from hand-sized monster spiders, right @chris_frewin!?!?
Then we went back to London, to the legendary studio owned by The Kinks, and recorded the whole record with a band because we wanted to create a record that has the energy of a live gig but feels modern and fresh. Louis always wanted to go all the way because I know that's how he is.
F*** it, I'd do it all again!!! On and on and on again!
I am grateful for this small but genius musical team.
In the end, there are only one or two names listed as producers, but all the writers had such a huge part in how the whole record sounds. You are incredible singers, instrumentalists, and arrangers—it's so much more than just writing a song. It's rare to find a bunch of musicians that make a good band, but guys, we would definitely make a great one.
