On Broadway by Roseland En Why Cee
My 1st proper vinyl offering. 💫
My 2nd collaboration with the super talented Richie Seivwright. 💫💫
The song On Broadway became an obsession of mine (
à la Coltrane & Favourite Things) and I'm super proud of the versions we're adding to the canon!
I was originally going to try and sing the song, but didn't feel I could do it justice. Then I thought about having the piano lead it, but that wouldn’t have enough excitement. Stuck on how to progress for months, I went back to the last reggae track I had made, Big Sis Riddim with Richie Seivwright.
Richie's haunting trombone was perfect for the darker take I wanted to bring to this. So I asked her if she was interested. Hesitantly, as she was in the process of making her incredible debut album, Delusia's Final Act.
Luckily she had enjoyed our last collab as much as I did and was happy to go at it again.
Not only did she nail the darker, more urgent tone I was looking for. She also sent over her take on it. A relaxed optimistic skip over the changes that became the B side.
