New music release: Holding Me by Australian singer Maggie Britten:

Janice: Maggie, you have just released a new single, Holding Me. I believe this song had interesting beginnings and a lovely collaboration. Can you share with us how it came into being?

Maggie: I’d made friends with a Scots gal Yvonne Jay who now lives in Texas, USA. Yvonne sent me an unreleased demo of a song she’d been working on, a duo with a friend of her husband. I then re-wrote it as a solo and at the suggestion of the wonderful Sydney, Australian Saxophone player Andrew Oh I recreated the melody and lyrics keeping a couple of Yvonne’s original hook lines. Yvonne sent me what she had retained of the bed tracks, I don’t know who played. The next step was Scott French, Engineer/Producer at Lovestreet Studios on the Gold Coast created new Drum, Guitar and String tracks.

Janice: Who are the musicians on the track Maggie and where was it produced?

Holding Me is an international collaboration thanks to the genius and patient Scott French and the brilliant Andrew Oh, produced at Lovestreet Studios, Gold Coast. The song was mastered by Paul Blakey at 12th and Vine mastering studio, Cutting Masters, Gold Coast. I’m truly blessed and so very grateful to have these exceptional people in my life.
