"Touch (Lust For Each Other)" The 2nd single from the "Brainwave" EP released on May 13, 2019.
The story behind the song: "Let's go back in 2014. I met MonsterKID through a mutual friend to collaborate and make music together, one of the demos he offered was "Mannequin", a pop fashion themed song about a girl with dramatic lyrics, kinda narrative. In 2015 we started working on it and I wanted to get involved on creative part and put my own touches, I struggled with it as I wasn't experienced enough with the English language so we left it behind at some point. Later he decided to release it by himself on its original Vocaloid form with the possibility to remake it for my EP later."
"However in 2015 I met Adam G, he revealed that he likes to write songs and we started making music together."
"In 2016 we took my draft version of "Mannequin" and as my lyrics were mixed with the original song, we removed any related lyrics that was connected. What we did next was to write a new song from scratch, he came with a jazzy sound. I wrote a few lines and he wrote the most. The working title? "Lust For Each Other"."
"We couldn't do much without a music producer so while working on "Heart Beat" I asked MonsterKID to produce something new. He did an excellent job with the music but we focused on "Heart Beat"."
"In mid-2017, being tired and disappointed of having no music out there, I started by producing my own songs and it felt that I have a new talent! I produced many demos but I didn't have any inspiration to make something for "Lust for Each Other"."
"The inspiration came last year [2018] when I moved to the house that I live now. Actually the night before, just a few hours before I packed up my everyday stuff, I started creating an early version (now titled "Touch") and from October to January 2019 the production of the song was complete! The finished song is highly inspired by the underground pop scene. I had an idea for a French bridge as I wanted something extra, so I asked someone on a forum to write French lyrics and sing as well to the bridge."
"A few days later I came with the idea to replace the bridge with an instrumental break. I worked really hard that weekend to put everything together!"
"That's the birth of my song, that's the cycle. If something doesn't work now, might work later. ;)"
"Now, about the lyrics, I don't have something specific to explain, it is what it is. The chorus It's an imaginary story from Adams' perspective that he wrote it on a walk. Don't really know what's my inspiration, I just went and evolved the story."
We all did a great job! Cheers! <3 - 5/20/2019
