My favourite Lady. ❤️ Looking forward to enjoying this one.
Sunday is Someday.
Someday. The new single. Coming tomorrow. Featuring this amazing cover painting by Renee Champion.
❤️❤️❤️
FYI... Just Released: Someday. The new single. Kind of a 60s soul vibe this time out..

This sounds great. I love the vocals and harmonies. It is sunny day ear candy, makes you want to try to hit that falsetto
Pardon my language, but that is so f-cking excellent! You're like everyone's favourite family member. Comes around once in a blue moon, but when she does, the visit is always fun and memorable.
Your voice is amazing. Hopefully one day we can collaborate (although I'll post my search for collabs sometime this week once I finish my current track).
My genres are EDM, Pop, HipHop of all subgenres, Neo Disco, Synthwave, and more. Just not Ambient. 😂
What @jwmmakerofmusic said. I loved that! At first I was thinking Todd Rundgren or Laura Nyro but then it reminded me of this blue-eyed soul classic…
FYI, Someday is available on Youtube now:
Very nice👏👏👏! Really like your voice and I find the production top notch!
/DMfan🇸🇪
i like it. smooth and pretty. great job!
I’m loving how you hit that Someday.
Not just the way you land it either, but the run-up to it too. Joyfully infectious.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
Yes, I write in ever changing styles — this genre, 60s/early 70s Philly Soul/Motown/whatever being one that I’ve attempted to dabble in a few times over the years. Comparisons I’ve gotten so far include: Laura Nyro, Todd Rundgren, Burt Bacharach, Marvin Gaye, Chicago, etc. For me I would say the strongest influence was probably early Curtis Mayfield and the Impressions. Overall, a major stretch for me, but I’m pleased with the results and would say this is probably my most successful attempt at that direction to date.
Best,
Babz
I definitely hear the 60’s feel and also a bit of an 80’s vibe. Another hit!
Yes, l didn’t want it to go literal 60s production, so l used like sampled Roland ROMpler piano, TX81Z bass, etc. So yes, more like an 80s cover of like a 60s classic or something— which was something we saw a lot of in the 80s (Phil Collins, Soft Cell, etc.)— except in this case it’s an original composition, not a cover.
👍
Yeah… I was hesitant to mention comparisons but it’s a generally accepted way to write about music and find some reference in the mind of the reader.
I get Bacharach in the upbeat, pop instrumental which became a template for decades of TV themes and Pop stars like the Fifth Dimension.
For the Vocal I do get a strong Laura Nero vibe but it also links back to her accompaniment style and arrangements. I need to research which producer she worked with to beef up her piano arrangements.
UPDATE: It was Herb Bernstein on the 1st album and Charlie Calello on the 2nd and 3rd.
Laura Nyro wrote many of the hits for the Fifth Dimension.
I don't mind comparisons to other artists, except that sometimes -- a lot of times -- people mention artists I've never heard of. Then I just don't know what to think. But like you say, it's what we all do. Any of the ones I mentioned, I can definitely understand ... and, of course, beyond humbling to be compared to. Another I've gotten on this a few times today is Carole King. Doesn't get much better than that, although I don't actually hear much of her in this particular tune.
I recently discovered the feature of Apple iTunes where it pops up a page of credits for any song in the catalog. Willow Smith has this amazing new tune and I had to figure out who provided the keyboard part and sure enough “credits” disclosed the required clues. The keyboard player was also co-composer. I still miss album liner notes.
So, can you fill in some of the details on your collaborators on this new project and maybe some clues on the process? I did buy the tune on bandcamp (but without thinking about BandCamp Friday… oops).
I get the comparisons to other artists thing, but then everything is about comparisons, isn't it? It's how we understand our world. Someone familiar with Hank Williams songs will have a completely different impression than someone more familiar with classical music... Anyway, I liked it.
Nice job (as always)
You didn’t hear the hook in a dream, did you?
Legend has it Paul got the inspiration for yesterday in a dream, and he went on for weeks running it by his friends cause he wasn’t sure he was subconsciously plagiarizing something he heard and wanted to make sure it was original
Collaborators? No collaborators. I did everything on this record. Except for the cover art. Which I usually do myself. But in this case I used a wonderful children's illustrator named Renee Champion. Because this song harkens back to my childhood growing up in the 60s, I wanted something created by hand and non-digital, something colorful that reminded me of that era of possibility and promise. I had seen her work, which often has a colorful 60s vibe to it. I had a concept of some of her 60s flowers in the foreground and mountains and a sunrise off in the distance, but unfortunately she is currently unable to do any work because of severe carpal tunnel issues (brought about by painting too much, apparently!). So we used one of her existing paintings and I added the hand-drawn "Someday" text, which I did myself. So in that sense, I did collaborate on the cover art!
The Bandcamp support is super awesome and much appreciated to help support the hundreds of hours of labor that go into a project like this. No worries about Bandcamp Friday, which is usually the first Friday of the month. For once the completion of a project happened to nearly line up with the beginning of a month. and I wanted to release it on Bandcamp Friday. But it turns out Bandcamp has suspended Bandcamp Fridays until September, so I decided to release the song immediately, which happened to be a Sunday.
Thanks!
No, but I have had music come to me in dreams a lot. Stuff that comes to me in dreams is often wildly different from something I would consciously come up with in waking life. Like, one time I dreamed an entire opera. I was basically just sitting in the audience watching the whole thing. The hard part is trying to remember it after you wake up. I was able to remember some of the characters and the plot, and some of the music. Another time it was this Calypso tune called "The Highline." I was able to remember pretty much that entire tune. This was while the Highline in NYC was still under construction. It was basically about getting high, sung by a Caribbean guy who liked to get high up on the Highline. I woke up and recorded the song on a cassette. It is a catchy little tune, that feels like it could be a hit. But I've never been able to find the right artist for it. Doesn't feel like something I could sing myself. Another time it was some medieval madrigal.. It was just playing on over the speaker system in an NYC office building's atrium. And I was like, "Hang on.." Over the years, I've trained myself to try to wake up and remember music anytime I hear it in a dream.. Which is often a struggle, because the body really wants to stay asleep! But I was able to wake up and get the basic melody down.
Sometimes I've woken up, captured the song on tape, and I'm so happy to have gotten this wonderful idea of a song. Then I actually wake up and realize the capturing-the-song-on-tape part was ALSO a dream and I've actually lost the whole thing!
In this case, this song did not come to me when I was asleep. But it did seem to just come to me out of nowhere unconsciously. It came to me immediately as soon as I sat down at the keyboard. I was able to record the first minute or so, the basic groove with the horns etc. in my DAW. Checking my files, looks like that was one day in Feb. back in 2020. Then it just sat like that for years. Which is often the case. The initial idea just pours out, but then getting beyond that spark, turning that into a song with a title, words, a story of some kind -- that's the hard part. I've got dozens of promising beginnings on my hard drive right now, but no idea of how to develop them further. Then somehow, eventually I was just listening to the groove and it reminded me of stuff I would hear in the 60s, like Herb Alpert tunes, 'n stuff. Which then reminded me of how it felt back then to be born into the world at such a time, a child languishing in the sterile limitations of an average American suburb, but in this magical, rapidly changing psychedelic time, with a feeling of being destined for greater things. That inspired the first line of the lyrics, and that was the breakthrough that made the rest of it possible.
Ha! Yes, I've heard him talk about that. A lot of songwriters tell of songs that came to them in dreams. And it often does feel like something you like just heard on the radio or whatever, like the radio of the mind, and you wonder where it came from. Did I actually write that? I must have if it came out of my head. Apparently, in this case, the music came to Paul, but not the words. So the working title for a long time was "Scrambled Eggs." Then Lennon finally got fed up and told him to get around to finishing that song already!
Really nice @Lady_App_titude
I left a comment on your YT and you’ve got a new sub!
Much appreciated! Only 900 more subs to go!
Seriously, tho every sub helps get one step closer to stopping the Adware Industrial Complex from hijacking my original content.
We are getting closer to BandCamp fFriday when the artists get 100% of the income.
As I mentioned above, the next Bandcamp Friday isn't until September. Bandcamp has suspended it for the summer, unfortunately.
That makes me feel better since I purchased your song on a Wednesday. I hope BandCamp prospers since it serves the needs of self-produced artists so well.
Great track! Great lyrics! Great voice (is it yours?)…
Hav’nt read the thread, but for me it sounds like little Motown feeling, a touch of Billy Joel, and, tiny feeling of Bosstones…
Impressed!
@Lady_App_titude never fails to impress. 🥰
