"Let's re-invent Zouk!"



That is our  erhm...modest goal.
You probably don't know Zouk...Or perhaps the kind of Zouk I'm referring to. If that is the case, here's a LINK OR 2 to what I mean  and what MY VERSION OF IT of it sounds like at the moment.
On " Good Friday", I travelled to my partner in crime's (Dal) and arrived fashionably late. In my defense, I had had a long day and virtually no sleep so I was quite slow. When I managed to get myself ready and on the road, I got stuck in traffic (okay, enough with the violins)
So when I finally reached his doorstep, it was no wonder Dal just wanted to crack on. I suggested that we have a listen of what Zouk sounds like so we can deconstruct it and revamp it. We listened to a few Zouk songs, Zouk compilations for inspiration. Then we set about our task.

Dal wrote a catchy base line. I wrote a beat. He added strings. We listened.  Not enough Oomph so I re-wrote the beat. We were both happier. He added brass then we add libbed a few melodies and lyrics to see how the song might go. We settled on a bridge, chorus and first two lines of the first verse. We will write a verse each on our own then meet again to collate. There's gonna be some rapping too.

Stay tuned, we want this to be a summer hit. We'll need lots of support for this!!! Are you down?
