We caught up with the Award-winning multi-instrumentalist and visual artist The Woolfman about his captivating new single ‘MY WOUNDED HEART’, the story behind it, and what’s next…<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Hi, congratulations on the release of \u2018MY WOUNDED HEART\u2019! Marking the beginning of a new musical project, can you give us an insight into what to expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I believe it all starts with the song. A song can stand up to many different treatments, each shows a different aspect of the story and triggers a different part of the emotional universe. This song – My Wounded Heart contains many emotional colours. Thus I created:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DEEP MIX – which has made a big impression at specialist club level with continuing club and radio plays worldwide. It is heavy, sparse and vocal-light. This is sparse, angry \u201coh no no\u201d _ I can\u2019t believe this has happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CLUB MIX got to #10 in the Music Week Pop charts – a very different approach. The whole song is explored in both English and Spanish versions with a different feel and a different beat. This tells the story assertively with some feeling riding on the musical arrangement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

THE PIANO MIXES in English and Spanish – These were recorded spontaneously at the end of the main vocal session. One take and no rehearsal with no plan to release them. Yet these for me are the song in its own truth – undistilled. Here I find the feelings in large waves. For that very reason I decided to use minimum production and let the song stand and breathe on its own. It speaks, in its own space and leaves room for the listener to respond without being directed how to feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018MY WOUNDED HEART\u2019 is inspired by the Spanish classic \u2018Quizas, Quizas, Quizas\u2019. How did this idea originate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a recent breakup, having suffered a lot of pain (2019) I did a gig. The support act was a woman singing Quizas Quizas Quizas. Her performance of one of my favourite songs left an impression. That night I woke at 3am and wrote the original lyrics to MWH in Spanish, as they emerged they connected to an existing tune I had written and performed as a piano piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
