I love exploring this stuff, finding the balances, the contrasts between singing as small as possible, playing with breath and intimacy, and finding how to belt out from the chest in full voice. What I'm finding is that the process of recording my songs is revealing and contextualising the songs themselves, bringing them to life, giving them a story, an environment to be in. I find that all of that is clarifying and gathering steam as recording progresses.
