A Touch Too Much (Piano & Vocal Mix)

I always know when Hoyt and I compose a good song. If a melody works with just a simple piano and vocal then I know it's going to be a winner all dressed up in a full-blown music production. Such was the case when we composed A Touch Too Much last year. 

Once we had the essential bare bones of the composition worked out we then had to address how it should be produced. If you listen to this simple piano and vocal mix of A Touch Too Much you can easily hear how it could have gone in the direction of a ballad instead of the dance track that it became. 

There's magic in the air when the right song, the right vocalist, and the right music production all come together! Nick Bramlett sang this song with so much heart and conviction. He aced this vocal performance. We were smart to call on our Matt Pop for this one. His music production skills lifted this song into the stratosphere.  

We couldn't be more proud of A Touch Too Much. 

Big love, Carly xoxo

Flashback Photo: Us in Pittsburgh's South Side Neighborhood

Candy Apple Blue with Shauna (1992)

Here we are back in 1992 with the legendary, talented, warm-hearted, and gorgeous Shawna (aka Katt) in Pittsburgh's South Side neighborhood. We had just strolled out of the Beehive Coffeehouse after a nice chat. We took this photo right before we jumped into our cars and said goodbye.

I have so many great memories from this time. I was 20 years old. We were all so young and we had so much ambition. To be LGBT in the early 1990's was no joke. The world and Pittsburgh was a very different place. We battled our way through it by looking stunning and keeping our chin up!
