Music News – New Album; Free Range Love

In nine days’ time, summer will be officially over and Autumn will begin so I made a Synthwave album something a bit longer than an EP and also something old school lol. I love making this type of music and don’t really make much of it every now and then when I’m in the mood to do something old school and from the 80s as I was born in 1985. I made a mixed bag of Electro beats and some good old Dream Pop or some slower stuff and I’m pretty happy with the results. I called it Free Range Love as I feel love is free, and should be and also the healthiest love you can get. I don’t eat a lot of meat but when I do it has to be free range whatever it is cos it’s better for nature and also fairer. This sums up the title of the eight-track album which was inspired by the 80s and Boogaloo.  I do have feelings of regret about what I could have been doing now and who knows also making the wrong decisions but I don’t hate myself for it I just know now not to make that mistake again and also be vocal with what I disagree with where it counts. I will say though it’s good to have regrets cos it makes you appreciate the things you have depending on what type of person you are but I feel a bit of regret never hurt anybody. One of my biggest regrets was not having believed in myself or listened to what people said I do listen though but sometimes I think they are just being too nice or avoiding the conversation completely, I’ve been making music for quite a few decades now on and off so I should hope I would be able to make something good out of what I  got but I have many and different tastes that scale from Rock to Hip Hop and everything in-between as I would say. I’m really happy with the song Force To Break on this album the synths which I used the Mini and the Prophet from Artuia really bring out the old school flavour and the drum kit which I used Zenhieser 80s drum kit which is one shots (one hit sounds) which I put together inside FL Studio 20.  I used to listen to a lot of old-school Nu Groove and Electro beats on online radio from 2008 onwards so I hope I caught some of that lock, pop and drop and no you ain’t on fire…well sort of. I also was brought up with music like Force To Break and music simlair which is why I’m so obsessed with it and love it so much. To mark Aaliyah’s passing on the 25th of August I thought I do a song for her which is called Till We Meet Again. I met her when she came to my school in Bristol, UK in 1997 it was. I was so devastated when the news broke being a fan of her from the first album and that was how I was introduced to rapper and singer Missy Elliott one of my favourite female rappers and singers. But yeah I was heartbroken and went into shock I never got over it not fully but she will always be in our hearts for the saint she was.  I called one of the tracks Big Butts and Ifs and is the thing called your backside I called it that as I thought it was a quirky title and needed something a bit different from the other titles, I thought I would have run out of titles by now but it turns out I can go for miles with no batteries. I will be making more Synthwave stuff when I’m in the mood it’s the end of summer by the next release so it will be something synthy but I will be making some more House and Jungle/Drum & Bass which I haven’t made for a while now.
