Curse of Hollywood

 In the early stages of this one… just got the initial strings demo back from Steve, which I’ll post in the Express Lane section momentarily.  This is an upbeat song with a straightforward/basic chord structure that’s going to rely on its energy; it’s got something of a free-form vocal outro that I think is reminiscent of the outro of ELO’s “Rockaria!”.  I’m going to need to spend some time in the DAW to ensure all of the parts work in concert with one another, particularly since we’ve got an added layer of complexity with Robbie’s wonderfully creative/melodic basslines.  Ensuring the bass, foundational guitar and strings all work together in a tight structure will be essential before moving on to adding keyboards, backing vocals and guitar overdubs…
