My new single, “Bring It Around”, is best described as acoustic soul loaded with electric guitar riffs, horn punches, and vintage Hammond organ. One curator called it " a soulful singer-songwriter performance with echoes of Ben Harper, Taj Mahal and Roy Orbison." My goal was to bring the track to life by fusing blues and soft rock elements together. I’ve always loved the Memphis Stax sound and I tried to include a bit of that feel into the arrangement.
For anyone who doesn't know me, my last name is pronounced "leb-in-tall". As an recording artist, I'm trying to create an "original twist" on the familiar; both in sound & lyric. Lately I've been writing about characters who find themselves in sticky real life situations. “Bring It Around" is actually about a close friend who was in a highly volatile relationship with his girlfriend. They had constant arguments with head strong moments. They would say regrettable sh*t to each other. I had a ringside seat to their domestic in-tranquility. They would retreat to separate apartments and cool off. After a little while he’d start missing her and work his way back into her arms. Just like with Monique, I sing the song in 1st person and take on his story.
I wrote, engineered and produced “Bring It Around” in Leopard Lounge Studios in LA in late 2021. On this recording I played the acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, Hammond organ, sax, trumpet, lead vocal and harmony vocals. My longtime musical partner Tim Freund contributes the grovin' drums to the track.
lyrics
Last Friday night
I was holding you tight in my arms
But words got said
yes and we both lost our head
Feeling so lonely
Loving you only
It’s getting me down
Baby, baby, baby
bring it around
Oh, I can’t you off my mind
Feeling Bad
when I think of what we had
I can’t let go
baby I still love you so
I’m getting loaded
Drunk and devoted
Been throwing ‘em down
Baby, baby, baby bring it around
Oh bring your sweet lovin’ around
Don’t let go
don’t let go of the rope
Don’t let go
don’t let go of the rope
You got my key
Come on over be with me
Just me and you
doing what we like to do
Feeling so lonely
Loving you only
It’s getting me down
Baby, baby, baby bring it around
Oh bring your sweet lovin’ around
Baby please
Need you bad
Need you bad baby
