🇭🇹 During 2011, we set out on a project with disaster expert Aton Edwards in aide of Haiti (via the Lifestraws charity) by creating four versions of a song using a common chorus and vocal/instrumental master. Sadly, the project never came to fruition as our proposed charities pulled out of Haiti due to the internal politics and other matters. Due to the abrupt withdrawal, we never managed to finish the 4th version of the song or a 5th French version after being approached by French/Martinique singer-songwrier Princess Lover.
The artistes, from across the globe, created and recorded their own verses without knowing what any of the others had composed. The only link between the songs was the chorus lyrics created by IJ Chris and a vocal guide instrumental track (which would have been the 4th version) created by Richie Burton at The Next Room. All the artistes and producers on the songs funded their part of the project themselves in both creation and time and deserve absolute credit for what they did as a united cause aiming for the good of those much less fortunate.
A list of all contributers and the three completed versions (Sticky Situation in the following posts) are available for Free Download HERE.
We created a short video about the project, to garner interest. It contains video footage from the mainstream at the time (that was very public on TV) and was the reason we began the project ▼
The background music uses parts of IJ Chris' submission sitting on the vocal guide instrumental. That instrumental would have been used for the abandoned 4th version.
