SOUTHERN SUN (Acoustic) OUT NOW through Newstate Music
Recorded LIVE in my home studio during lockdown in New Zealand in April 2020.
I have always meant to record an acoustic version of this song. It’s so honest when it is just guitar and vocal something really haunting about it.
I remember being given the music which was written by Jamie Muhoberac, Carmen Rizzo & Paul Oakenfold while I was in Hollywood working with Carmen on my debut album ’Departure’. It took 45 minutes to write the lyrics and lock in the melody. At the time I was listening to a lot of Bjork’s ’Homogenic’ and Radiohead’s ’Ok Computer’, two of my all time favourite albums (perhaps because of the minor chords). I rode around to Carmen’s studio on my bike, and went right into the studio and recorded the vocal idea immediately. Paul loved it even though it was the scratch vocal, so we kept it, and Oakenfold added it to his artist-based album ’Bunkka’ which released through Maverick, Warner Music in 2003.....! Almost 20 years ago. Wow, sorry it took so long. Paul and I only played it out live together in Malta (thanks to Clay C) in 2018 using the Gabriel & Dresden remix. Thank you beautiful people for loving this song so much. It’s been incredible to see how much love people have for it, and what it means to them/us. Please share with me.. I love reading your words! So many great remixes inspired from this song... Enjoy XC
