I have been loving Bonobo’s Migration record. One of the standouts his his joint with vocalist Rhye.
The two showed up on the Song Exploder podcast this week. A very cool episode that deep dives in to Simon Green’s creative process.
I love how the podcast pulls apart the layers of the songs and has Simon explain where the samples come from, or what inspired them. How he then manipulates them and then throws the whole project over to Rhye to get his spin on vocal performance. Rhye also shares the personal story behind the lyrics..Adds a lot of weight and context to the enjoyment to the song.
Go with yourself.
