This new song 'Home' was literally written last week, so I recorded a basic demo of it in my home-studio yesterday while it was still fresh in my mind. Feedback would be nice, newby additions to my set-list always worry me...
I must say a massive cheers to my producer friend joe who has kindly given me his old M-Box 2 so I can now make home recordings on my mac with more ease and semi-professionalism!
We are due to digitally release the 'Never Say Never' EP on i-Tunes and Napster in November. This has never been formally released before, so it will be interesting to get some market feedback. I'll keep you posted xx AH xx
(In the meantime, an EP may be purchased at any of my gig-dates during October. See www.myspace.com/ashleyhicklin for more details).
World-Renowned producer Will Jackson (who has produced the likes of Coldplay, Kaiser Chiefs, Embrace & The Music) is keen to produce my debut album 'Parrysland', provided we get financial backing from a record label (or I win the lottery!)
Will's background in both classical and popular music compliments my album project really nicely; he loves the string quartet concept of my album, and with his knowledge of pop strings (all Embrace's string arrangements are courtesy of Will) i'm pretty confident we will get on great. Sound bloke!
