Interview With Divine Nation On Latest Album 'Enchantment' Guys let me tell you about this new band, Divine Nation, a duo from Glasgow, this is Paul Connor on the vocals and Jezz Watson on the music and a new element is what they are introducing to the scene and this can be witnessed in their new album “Enchantment”. These dudes are old school, and their music is proof of that. They’re all about harmonizing music with poems and raw beats that appeal to your emotions in one way or the other. Imagine blending Miles Davis with the feeling that you get from listening to David Bowie music, but it sounds like none of these musicians at the same time. The new album is called “Enchantment” and it is something else. They completed it in three days, can you imagine that? In essence, it is a journey to the soul through music. Beginning with “Light Never Dies” and going up to the titular track, “Clinical” takes the listener on an exciting rollercoaster of rock and jazz elements. For Divine Nation it is not only about producing songs but about invoking a certain atmosphere. If you are into musical groups that can get you to think and feel, then you should listen to them. They are undoubtedly potential contenders for future success or growth.

My family had a great love of music The home usually had music on. They were not themselves creative but that wad a mindset. Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? It was my first collaborator Colin Cooper who gave me the opportunity to write lyrics develop vocal melodies and sing. So bigs up to Colin for that opportunity. How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I've always been a creative writer I've had a couple of novels published. I also wrote poetry and I performed it. I wrote a piece with a sung part in it about a decade ago, it was well received and I loved performing it. That planted a seed. What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? Dr Feelgood were the first live band and John Hall the first artist.

My music is eclectic and it strives to have punch and to be inspirational Describe your creative process. My creative process is like a flash of lightning comes out of the ether Most song lyrics I complete within ten minutes I then hand the lyrics with a vocal melody to my musician Co composer. A couple of times they have sent me music and I have put lyrics and a vocal to that music. For example, the title track of Enchantment was done that way. Jez Watson sent me the music and the title Enchantment came to me in a dream! I woke up from that dream and wrote those lyrics.
