Well, for me it’s a bit different. I’m also proud how mine compares to the finalists, but I wouldn’t have changed anything knowing only she chooses.
Because what I did is what I think fits best for this song. I did not try to make a complete remix, but I just did a production – in a sense that she comes to me with her stems and wants a finished song. And of course this doesn’t lead me to any kind of dance or 80’s style version. It leads me to a version where here voice, her lyrics and her guitar is perfectly supported by my production.
Yes, I am a bit disappointed how things turned out. But to be honest: If such a competition is de facto word wide and there are hundreds of contributions, it’s not a real competition anymore. It’s more like a lottery – especially if the jury is one person and we don’t know what she is looking for.
Well, I am curious how the original production of this song will sound. Maybe mine was too close to it, I don’t know. At least it was fun.
