Back in the days, you sold albums to record labels and you signed a deal for several albums to release on the record label an artists was signed at. But over the times this business model got outdated and in the age of streaming it also doesn’t make much sense anymore. If you’re not an established big pop artist you will have a hard time finding good writers, musicians and producers working for an album track that will not have the attention of a single. It is all about that one track that makes it big and that gets the full attention and pays back for all the expenses.
But PASSENGER 10 wouldn’t be Passenger 10 if he wouldn’t backfire and go for the old-fashioned album- and album-single-way. Yes! Stupid boy. Running straight into the wall, hitting the head hard and crying like a baby. But it is what it is: This is Passenger 10’s single number 1 from his critically acclaimed album RESET YOUR MIND. Who that critics are you asking? Well, my wife and my son. Ah well, actually my wife thinks I suck at cinematic music, so that leaves my son. Hey, that’s better than nothing. On Rotten Tomatoes that would score a phenomenal rating.
Nevermind – That first single is going by the name of SENSES OF THE SPIRIT. A perfectly crafted pop track with vocals by Michael Jackson Kurt Cobain and a topline exclusively written by Pharrell, not Will Farrell, the other dude, you know. All produced by Max Martin and mixed by Chris Lorde-Alge under exclusive supervision of Passenger 10 sitting in a reclined chair sipping on Bacardi B or was it Cardioid C by AKG? Hm, too much thinking makes me dizzy sometimes.
