This was evidently just the tip of the iceberg of this man\u2019s talent and this fact was amplified by last year&#8217;s partnership with the Recording Academy of the United States, that would be The Grammys to most people, who commissioned Mark to be part of a brand new series called \u2018Reimagined At Home\u2019; a series that strives to combine legacy and modernity by selecting outstanding contemporary artists who would share how they were influenced by Grammy winners of the past. Mark chose Fleetwood Mac\u2019s timeless classic \u2018The Chain\u2019, a brave choice as it had already been successfully brought to a modern audience by Harry Styles but one that would also allow Mark to showcase his own ability to make a song his own against a backdrop of legacy and modernity; exactly the brief of the project. I would recommend that you join the more than 2.5 million people that have shared his version of the 1998 nominated song and loved the video.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_36285\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b144jPCJuHo?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"YouTube player\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/b144jPCJuHo\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As a songwriter himself, Mark has been quoted as saying that,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the honour of a lifetime to work with the Academy as I\u2019ve always seen them as being a guiding light for the craft of songwriting.

For me, as a writer, it\u2019s so important that we get behind our artists as only our support will save us from a world of AI and protect that thing which is so special\u2026..the soundtrack of our life, and we all deserve a great soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EP: You are without doubt a music maker of real quality and this could not be better illustrated by the deserved respect the Recording Academy clearly hold you in. In a world where someone can become a star from their bedroom via TikTok, does that make you happy that there is opportunity for everyone or is it frustrating that hard work, quality and critical acclaim does not always add up to commercial success?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MC: That\u2019s a very good question. I think opportunity for everyone is a very very positive thing but I also think it\u2019s a double edged sword. If someone goes into school and skips from 1st class to 6th class chances are they\u2019re going to miss some important information. Similarly, in music, if you don\u2019t practice your stage craft through numerous gigs both good and bad, chances are you are going to struggle when the heat comes on and there is an issue on stage. Having the knowledge and language to communicate an issue is imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning how to work with a crowd is equally as important. Singing songs is one thing, performing them is another, and understanding how and when to communicate is so important. This is the same across the board when it comes to writing songs, playing your instrument, dealing with people, negotiating etc. Many bedroom stars fall heavily from their heights because they haven\u2019t got the experience or the type of love that is grown over years of little wins, getting through heartbreaks and just beating on your craft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EP: Which leads me on to\u2026.How do you judge success in the music industry nowadays when a song can sit in the charts for months because of repeated plays? Does that make modern charts a bit stale?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MC: It\u2019s hard to pin success to one metric because it\u2019s different for everyone, and it probably changes with whatever the targets of the campaign are. Success could be radio play, it could be high streaming numbers, it could even be landing that one playlist you\u2019ve always wanted so success is ever moving and quite subjective. I think you\u2019re best off finding the targets you wish to attain both big and small, then you\u2019ll find those wins along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EP: With a couple of outstanding singles releases recently, what can we expect from your album and when will it be released? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MC: Thank you for the kind words x. I want my album to feel like it\u2019s a sonic representation of who I am and how I see the world. There is a lot of positivity and enthusiasm In there but there\u2019s a lot more to me than that. I think and feel deeply about a lot of things so I am giving myself time to actualise those themes and thoughts into a body of work that I can stand by. My new EP, &#8216;Brighter Side of Sorrow&#8217;, is a good step in that direction I feel. I blend studio and live tracks in the EP, and I learned so much by even doing that. I love the energy of live performance. It\u2019s wild and a little lose around the edges like myself so I can see the final product being an amalgamation of a number of things. I hope to create something interesting where the songs are strokes of paint that feed into, and emphasise the greater message of the album as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"734\" data-attachment-id=\"81861\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2023\/05\/steve-holley-speaks-with-irish-artist-mark-caplice-about-his-music-working-with-the-recording-academy-on-re-imagined-at-home-and-whats-coming-next\/mark-caplice-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?fit=1080%2C1238&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1238\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mark Caplice 2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?fit=640%2C734&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?resize=640%2C734&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-81861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?resize=893%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 893w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?resize=262%2C300&amp;ssl=1 262w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?resize=768%2C880&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mark-Caplice-2.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EP: We are both fans of your friend and fellow Irish artist Megan O&#8217; Neill.

Did it make you nervous that there were many different covers already out there?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MC: Actually it didn\u2019t take me much time to settle on &#8216;The Chain&#8217; at all because that\u2019s always been a family favourite. I tried it on the piano one Christmas and I remember thinking it hits so differently on keys and feels quite unique. There weren\u2019t many nerves because I\u2019ve hadn\u2019t heard a cover done with that approach before. I just had to step over my imposter syndrome and go with it but I\u2019m really glad I did. I love how it all came together and I\u2019m super thankful to everyone that helped pull it all together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>EP: Thank you Mark, I think you created something wonderful. it\u2019s been a pleasure and an honour to ask you a few questions.
