Lots of great music out today and just listened to a couple new releases I love (Fiona Apple, Mothica). Excited to contribute the next chapter in the story of Stefan Alexander, the "Cry Again EP." Two of the songs are recent, two were recorded years ago at the start of the journey. "Signs" I believe is the first tune Elliot Jacobson, and I did together. Mixed by Mike Tuccillo, mastered by Emily Lazar at The Lodge Mastering. Still gives me goosebumps and I'm super proud of this production and thrilled it's seen the light of day. Also new today is the most recent track we did, "Up and Away." Different tone but illustrates Stefan's evolution as an artist. All tunes (besides "Signs" mixed/mastered by Mike Tuccillo. Anyway, thanks for checking it out. Stay safe out/in there.
Stay put, working on tunes.
Played on this ballad from Rue Snider.
From Rue: “I made it at Restoration Station with Lorenzo Wolff producing. He really nailed the vibe and coached a vocal performance out of me Im quite proud of. Andrew Horowitz played the piano and synths, which are essential to this track and I’m grateful for his beautiful contribution. John Kengla played the awesome guitar that has the vibe of one of my favorite 80s ballads. That guy is a blast to work with. Emily Holden played the beautiful strings without which the song wouldn’t soar, and Elliot Jacobson played drums. I admire that guy so much. Phil Joly mixed this track and ruined me forever on not having an outside mixer. He’s mixed 3 tracks for me, which are my best sounding work, and he’s why. Jenny Grace Makholm graciously let me use her face on the cover. Amanda Brown was in the studio the whole time and her voice has been a steady metronome in my mind while recording a ton of music. I'm grateful for her input. Thank you to everyone involved!”
New music video from @liviablancmusic while we put the finishing touches on a new batch of songs.
One of the first tunes I worked on with Elliot Jacobson and Stefan Alexander sees the light of day! Five years in the making, thought this one was destined for a hard drive. If you haven't followed, Stefan was sidelined for several years with a debilitating illness. We made the decision to not release music until/unless he was better. And so the day has come. Thrilled to share the first song from his second EP, "Photograph." Premiere via American Songwriter Magazine. Thank you to Mike Tuccillo for mixing/mastering, and Charlene Kaye for the exceptional video.
Did some additional production on this new Julia Bhatt jam, “I’m Cool.” Written by Julia, produced by Elliot Jacobson.
In anticipation of the holiday season, I produced an acoustic cover of “Winter Wonderland” featuring Stefan Alexander and Dan Berk.
New Stefan Alexander tune out today, a cover of Tweet's "Oops (Oh My)." Produced by me and Elliot Jacobson, mixed/mastered by Mike Tuccillo.
