RECAP:

So happy I got to record this song tonight. Been wanting to make a song like this since I started making music 10 years ago. Hate to use this description but felt like Sade was in the booth tonight. We made a very beautiful slow R&B type song. Estelle’s vocal performance was very beautiful, complemented the music perfectly. Very easy listening beautiful song that I started putting a mix on because I was so into it. She recorded the entire song inside of an hour, tons of harmony and double tracks to give the guys lots of options. She flew through it all so seamlessly it was almost hard to believe. Very special session, all three of these Hermitude sessions went so well I’m sad they’re leaving. The session God’s were very good to us !! Look out for the Hermitude album, be sure to buy your copy when it comes out.
