まだ！
"まだ !" is mamy second single, released about two weeks ago. It's a song nearly 5 years in the making, as I first wrote it somewhere between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020.
At the time I was absolutely enamored with Donovan (especially the "Mellow Yellow" album), and had just discovered the Japanese songwriter Shintaro Sakamoto. What started the track – and became the driving force of the groove – was the bassline. I loved it from the first second of playing it, and then jammed for hours on end, trying my best to sing in Japanese.
It's not Japanese of course, it's absolute nonsense gibberish. Vocalizations that were supposed to imitate the sound of the language.
I made a demo recording of it, that then stood for many years as the definitive version, because even though I tried to re-record it many times, and was able to make the backing track superior to the original, I could never, and I mean never replicate the vocal line in a satisfying way. I gave up at some point, and finally released an instrumental version made in 2022 on Spotify. It was my first actual release. I still dreamed of making a full, finished and polished thing though.
This year it was made possible. I found the lost original 2019 recording and isolated the vocals, syncing them later with the 2022 backing track. I slightly re-mixed the whole thing, cut some parts, and now I can say with pride that "まだ" is finally what it was always meant to be.
So, funnily enough, it's a product of three different periods in my life. My 19 year old voice, my 22 year old instrumental chops, and my 24 year old mix.
I sincerely hope you'll enjoy the ethno-psychedelic crazy groove of lunatic proportions.
