Single Focus: Lecia Louise

Answered by: Lecia McPhail-Bell

Single title? Shock Me

What's the song about? This rock/pop song is about a man who gets rid of his long-term partner for a new updated model.

How long did it take to write/record? The guitar riff came out easily while jamming loudly with myself about six years ago. The lyrics probably took a couple of weeks to write. We began recording around 2012 and finished it last year. 

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? This single is from my coming EP, Per Te. Out soon.  

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? I don't remember what I was listening to when writing this song; Muse would've been among it all. I liked hearing more drums and extending guitar solos, hence the drum intro and extended guitar solo. 

We'll like this song if we like... Air guitaring, air drumming and kitchen dancing.

Do you play it differently live? It's almost impossible to emulate the studio recording in the live show because there are extra recorded layers. I play my parts (guitar/vocals) almost exactly the same as the recording.

When and where is your launch/next gig? Logan Art Gallery, 20 Feb; Paper Moon, 21 Feb; La Piazza Labrador GC, 27 Feb; Morrison Hotel, 5 Mar.
