SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO: “The Standard”
—Think Caribbean—Time is relaxed. Sun is friendly. Imagine singing this song on a colorful beach, birds swirling around, and waves lapping the sand. I’ve done several music gigs around the Caribbean, and I never dreamed I’d enjoy it there so much. This song takes my head into that zone. It’s from the Word2Soul Project, a gospel/neo-soul/pop assembly envisioned by lyricist Amy Mintzer. She hired me to produce demos with the goal of shopping a publishing deal. The demos turned out so well that DJs started airing them. People got excited! W2S became a series based on the templates of albums by Quincy Jones and the Alan Parsons Project—where producers created songs then used a panel of singers to interpret the songs. “The Standard” describe an immovable bottom line “standard”: A lifeline of God’s love and strength being there for me no matter how crazy I get or how life tests me. It has an upbeat island/Afro-pop vibe, and I was pleased with my keyboard work (mixed by Tim Breon).
