Welcome to BuzzMusic Part Time Love Affair. What a thorough and passionate listening experience you've provided with your latest single, "SOS." When did you begin executing ideas for this track? How long was it in the making?
Producing "SOS" was really interesting because the original song by artist McClenny has this guitar-driven energy that reminded me of Prince. I said to myself "I love this song, but what if the Soulquarians produced it? What would that feel like?"
What inspired you to create such a soulful, funky, and passionate tune like "SOS?" Were there any moments or experiences that helped bring the song to life?
The key for me was my drumming and the unique samples that I chose to create the intro of the track. Once I had that intro loop, the rest of the track fell into place in a very organic way.
Who is the talented featured vocalist in "SOS?" Did you have a say in the song's lyric writing process? Or were the lyrics written by the featured artist?
Working with Walker (lead vocalist) has been really exciting for me artistically because he's just that good! I do music, but I DO NOT sing haha!
How do songs like "SOS" represent you and your sound? Do you normally delve into such soulful and groovy sounds like this?
Part Time Love Affair is all about creating soulful music with friends. I am excited because my project allows for different players and artists to come in and create as ONE collective sound. Being a drummer first, my future releases will always be soulful with a palpable groove.
