'Standing Hours' will be available on July 8th 2021 on Amazon, Deezer, Apple Music, Spotify and all other major distribution online outlets. Recorded and mixed over 15 months, with many, many recording and mixing hours in tow, these 10 songs are probably amongst my most accessible to date.
The track list is:
Yesterday's Tomorrow is Today
Sunlit Side of the Street
All or Nothing At All
Time of Your Life
This is the Year
The Great Divide
Indigo
Shake it Down
Finding Fire with Fire
Good Night
If you've been following my Instagram posts (itsstevehorne), you will know that I have been writing and recording new material since March 2020, during the first lockdown. Eight songs are now finished completely, (maybe a few tinkerings here and there to do ... - I don't know why I say 'maybe' - there is always something I go back on and tweak), with another two to complete the set, the first of which I am mixing now. I estimate that I will finish - probably some time in June/July if everything goes to plan.
The songs are mostly traditional pop/rock-based songs with an electronic element to them, although there are definite funk and soul references in there! All in all, I'd say they are my most accessible songs to date. I have invited two excellent, female backing singers to sing on some of the songs (and my rule is - if it's a great performance (which they were) and carries the song to a height, (which they did) then push the fader up!
More to follow.
Cheers!
Here is the video for the song 'She Keeps Me On' (from 'Headlights') - I originally wanted to share this a few months ago, but wondered if some of the lyrics might be misinterpreted; at the time we were at the height of the pandemic in the UK. Anyhow - I think it is one of the best recordings/songs I have done to date. I hope you enjoy it.
