Peace Bloggers,
For my Fantasy Band I am putting together the ultimate Pop group that would shock the world. For my Fantasy Band rhythm section, Tony Thompson from the legendary group “Chic” would be just perfect. My bass player would be no other than James Jamerson of the Funk Brothers, complements of Motown. My primary orchestrator on keys would be Richard Tee from the 70’s group “Stuff.” Piercing through to entice the ears of listeners I will have Tommy Tedesco on Guitar. To put a cherry on top of this master class of musicians I will be soliciting the one and only Annie Lennox. I chose Annie Lennox for my lead because I fell with her artistic range, there is no limit to what I can produce, and she is also a musician. With this star cast of pros I will be producing dynamic orchestral masterpieces centered, and focused on telling stories. The beats will be forward and unapologetic in nature grounded by the soulful precise bass playing of James Jamerson accompanied by intimate quiet moments where Tommy Tedesco and Richard Tee will be massaging the listeners ears with call and response transient nuances throughout the album creating ambiences transporting everyone to a better reality for just a little while. For example, a song that I would produce would be to bring to light the economical challenges facing America and how poverty effects our children as they navigate through life (http://youtu.be/Glny4jSciVI ). Sounds like a unlikely hit song but with this cast and some good sound lyrics, it can be done tastefully and all the while making people tap their feet. Although my example is grandiose, my song would be more dynamic and intimate in nature. As a producer, my contribution will be to make sure everyone is within the element of the group. I want the sound to be organic with all its parts moving as one machine. The name of this project or band would be simply “Fire”. One of the ways I would increase the projects exposure is through video documentaries. I would use the artistic privilege of abstract videography to create downloadable backdrops for the entire album, bringing listening parties back. I think with the amount of talent present in this group, I would welcome a major label as long as artistic control is granted to the group. Well, this was a mouthful and I hope you all can see my vision. I have added some links to at the bottom of this blog to help familiarize you with these artist if you are not already, and I hope your enjoy. On another note, what and whom would your fantasy band consist of? Until the next time Bloggers, peace.
