Scotty Sax feat. Kenton Lee – Angel of Light
What an amazing journey I’ve been on. The global pandemic hits and all of sudden, literally over night, there are no gigs. For a while, it was nice to have a break. Gigging takes a lot of physical and mental energy. To switch off, was truly a blessing. However, as the months dragged on, I found my way to the piano and guitar more often than ever before. I felt the create juices flowing and I started recording my ideas. Something I hadn’t done in years. I started falling in love with the song writing process. Before I knew it I had a downtempo, electro groove that was begging for a sweet vocal melody, to layer over the top and bring it to life.
As part of my lockdown regime, I would trawl Youtube looking for inspiration. One day I came across this amazing clip, by a South African artist, Kenton Lee . I really loved both the songs he covered, so I figured we already had something in common. I sent the beds and asked if he’d like to write and perform on the track. To my delight he said yes and a couple of months later he sent me the stems. I was immediately inspired to record my sax on the track. I now had melodies to work off and it was so great to lay down something with feel to suit the relaxed, yet soulful nature of the song.
To add to the mix, Kenton include an amazing piano accompaniment from his good friend, Herschelle Sheldon. I never planned to have have piano on the track, but once I heard the performance he’d done, I couldn’t leave it out.
The next step was to take it my good mate Yogi, from Random Soul, to mix it. Yogi has an amazing ear and he took the track to the next level sonically.
I’m proud to say, that we now have Angel of light to share with you. I’d love to know what you think of it? Please comment below.
