I began writing with Fryars very soon after the touring of Unguarded ended, in October 2016. It worked so well that we wrote and produced the album together solidly for around a year. And at that point, we needed some fresh ears for perspective, so I took the music to MyRiot (lovely Tim and Roy), and we spent a few months making final touches and recording nice pianos as replacements for the demo midi versions. We wrote a song with our mate Fin (Starsmith) called '
Dancing With Character', which is actually one of my favourites, and a song with Buddy Ross who is a brilliant guy and musician. There are no featured guests, but the few people who have been involved in making it are so incredible and just an amazing vibe; I'm very grateful to them.
