August 23, 200916 yr Author Interesting. 'Painted Pony' looks like it'll be short. My favourite lyric of the ones I've skim-read is from 'In Your Shoes': I keep it superwoman all the way. FIERCE. Haha, the song does seem rather fierce, but I'm still struggling to remember it and I saw it live. :( I can vaguely remember how the chorus went, but I can't say I was big on it. "Painted Pony" is looking rather like it's gonna be one of those heartfelt types, while "Square Peg" is looking a little like the lyrical partner to "Straight Jacket". I can only hope it's as lush aurally.
August 24, 200916 yr Author "Bare" and "In Your Shoes" clips added to the Myspace now: http://www.myspace.com/beverleyknightofficial "Bare" sounds like a very bluesy ballad, reminds me a little of "Below My Radar". That was never a favourite of mine, but it's alright. "In Your Shoes" is pretty much how I remembered it. Not one of my favourites, but I quite like how the autotune is used on the vocals.
August 25, 200916 yr In Your Shoes is incredibly odd but I think I love it. The autotune and vocoder effects work a treat!
August 25, 200916 yr Author In Your Shoes is incredibly odd but I think I love it. The autotune and vocoder effects work a treat! Yeah, it's quite weird because it's got quite a funky sound and it's quite unusual to hear these voice effects on a track like that. I think it's growing on me already.
August 25, 200916 yr Listening to Bare and In Your Shoes (yes im a flop fan, we are all perfectly aware of this). I adore In Your Shoes, possibly one of my favorites so far. Bare isnt so impresive imo.
August 25, 200916 yr "In Your Shoes" is lovely. I think the vocoder effects work well on her voice. I'm not so keen on "Bare" at the moment, I'm hoping it will grow on me.

Bare isnt so impresive imo. Flop fan indeed, a couple of days late. -_- I'm not getting all the big love for "In Your Shoes". :( Perhaps I'm taking it as an insult that she's telling me to get a life. In Your Shoes sounds alright ^_^ could be good, Bare seems okay might grow. You can listen to it in full if you 'listen again' to the Ronnie Herel show I posted a topic about. ^_^
August 26, 200916 yr Author Wasn't sure where to post this, or start a new topic. But here's Bev describing some of the tracks in her own words: In Your Shoes Produced by DJ Munro, it features a sample from the brilliant track "Rip It Up" that I have loved from childhood by Scottish band Orange Juice. I recently met Edwyn Collins, lead singer and composer of the band who went on to have huge success as a solo artist, and he loves what I have done with it!! It is total guitar led funk with a wicked sense of humour in the lyric "get yourself a life - and make it work!" In Your Shoes is about people who focus their envy of your progress onto you and your life, instead of concentrating on their own journey. Bare This as the title suggests is a stripped down semi live production of a 6/8 classic time signature soul ballad. I wrote this with Jamie Hartman of Ben's Brother. The key is deliberately low, as it produces a warmer, richer sound from my vocal in the verses. It is a song with a journey, it crescendos three quarters of the way through and then falls away right at the end. It is about the fear of opening up your heart entirely to someone you know you are in love with, because it is at that point you become the most vunerable. I went through this last year in the earlier stages of my relationship with my boyfriend. We've all been there..... 100% The title track is about my total commitment to my boyfriend, something I haven't always done if I'm truthful, but this feels right. 100% has also become the mantra for my commitment to my career - I always give 100% of myself to music! I co wrote it with the brilliant Guy Chambers, he had recorded a beautiful instrumental piece with his musicians, I heard it and converted it into a groove ballad. Produced by Jonathan Quarmby and Kevin Bacon, it has the most stunning string, horn and flute arrangements. Killer. Turned to stone This is a song I wrote from the sad memory of a previous relationship. Sometimes as a relationship reaches it's end, you can become strangers, not even speaking. As though made of stone. Although it has a sad lyric, the feel of the track is very upbeat, especially when it hits the chorus! There is a recurring guitar signature throughout which is very sing-a-long, in fact I join in with it at the final chorus. Breakout I co wrote this with DJ Munro. It's a "go out and have a great time" song!!! I wanted an anti-credit crunch, anti wallflower, feel good track, I think it hits the spot! It's the first disco-eque song I've ever done.

September 2, 200916 yr Author Looking at the advert, it looks like there is a video for "Every Step". :o Ooh yeah, they might have shot both in the same day. Quite weird that it's now a double A side, that doesn't quite work for download only singles. :wacko: I'm liking the clip of "Too Much Heaven" though, I read that it was a disappointment but I think it sounds like one of the best, vocally.

I know. All the releasing for this album is confusing. :blink:
September 3, 200916 yr Author I know. All the releasing for this album is confusing. :blink: Definitely, everything seems to be spur of the moment. What the hell whys she performing Every Step :angry: silly woman Because now it's a double A side. :wacko: This seems such a last minute decision, we heard nothing of this until recently. :mellow:
September 3, 200916 yr Definitely, everything seems to be spur of the moment. Because now it's a double A side. :wacko: This seems such a last minute decision, we heard nothing of this until recently. :mellow: Well, has it actually been confimed as a double A side, since the title isn't featured on the cover, unless they are changing the cover.
September 4, 200916 yr Author Well, has it actually been confimed as a double A side, since the title isn't featured on the cover, unless they are changing the cover. Well it says it's a double A side here: http://www.beverleyknight.com/news/beverle...-announced.html suprised this hasnt leaked properly yet Same. I know plenty of people have promo copies and there have been some on eBay. I just guess the people holding them are being good about keeping it to themselves. I thought I heard that we could play this in full from the BBC website or something from yesterday, but I can't find anything about it.
September 4, 200916 yr Can listen to clips of every song here http://www.amazon.co.uk/100%25/dp/B002N7N9B0/ref=mb_oe_o
