Ghost is one of the first songs I wrote when I set the goal of releasing music monthly in 2024
The hope has been that by writing and releasing more songs, more consistently, I can improve my music faster.

Two of the things started practicing as a part of this process were writing quickly and putting more emphasis on the
flow of the lyrics than before.

I also learned with Ghost, that the energy I put into the delivery of the lyrics on the recording played a huge part.
 

I still host an open mic regularly.
And when I do, I perform SLAY.

And it always gets a great reaction.
And I feel that it is due in part to my energy in that poem.

Every song comes from a persona or different side of me. 
I am still working to define them more concretely, but there are a couple there.

SLAY comes from what I'd call my more angry/hungrier side. Others have described it just as confident.
But, whoever that character is in SLAY, that is who I channeled for Ghost.

I also try to write a variety of types of songs. Ghost was a great opportunity to write a record that wasn't sexy, 
or super introspective, or super lyrical.

It makes a good gym song, I feel.

I hung out with Dennis at his place over a few different visits and sat in while he made the beat.
We recorded a rough take there, and he scratched that rough vocal on his turntables.

That same audio is the scratch we ended up using in the final track.
And of course, Dennis shot the video as well.

I went out to Music in Focus studio to have it recorded, mixed and mastered.
Chico always adds his own touch to every track, and really levels up the arrangement.

The hook was originally twice as long for this song, but he suggested we cut it down. 
Once he played it for me with his edits, I was sold. 

Hope you enjoy the track!

Talk soon,
