Here's a young Hoyt serving 1990s selfie realness. All you needed was a bathroom mirror and a 35mm camera. Oh yeah, you also needed a whole lot of patience as it would take weeks to get your film developed and sent back to you by snail mail. Oh yeah, you also had to remember to check (✔) the box if you wanted doubles. Lastly, did you want a glossy or a matte finish? Oh, the trials and tribulations of it all.

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
