How did this collaboration come about?
Fonz: “I came across Hollyanne on Twitter and searched her music out on Spotify. When I heard her track ‘Carry On‘ I was blown away by the song, but especially the tone and range of her voice. I then listened to ‘In Denial‘ and I knew then I had to work with her. I contacted her via Twitter and our working relationship took off from there.”
Hollyanne: “At first Fonz contacted me, we added each other on Twitter and I looked at his Spotify and really enjoyed his music, I told him so, and we decided we would attempt a track together, which became ‘Want Me Back’. We were very pleased with the outcome.”
Fonz: We have never met in person, only via Zoom.
What can you tell me about the song?
“The song is about an empowered, confident woman, who is being messed around in a relationship. The woman asks the other person to make their mind up and stop wasting her time.”
Who wrote/recorded what?
Fonz: “After our initial discussion I pulled together a dance track and sent it to Hollyanne. She then worked her magic on the lyrics and vocals. She then sent me her vocal stem files and I mixed and mastered the track from my Mileven Studio in Sheffield. We then tried different versions and when we were both happy the track was completed.“
Hollyanne: “I have a makeshift studio at home, I have cleverly sewn some foam padding on an old lampshade! Needs must in a lockdown I suppose, however it has given us a good sound for our single.“
Is there a story behind the artwork?
Fonz: “Hollyanne is a big fan of retro sci-fi and she created the cover photo and it features her in a classic sci-fi style.”
Are you excited about this release?
Fonz: “There’s always a sense of excitement with an element of uncertainty relating to the listeners reactions.”
