One day, we took the drum loop and bass groove from a demo of mine called “Face to Face” and added the ultra cool guitar riff that Warren had come up with for a new ‘cover’ version of “First Impression”.Īfter a couple of hours of tweaking, we played the track over the phone to Capitol in Los Angeles and they loved it and said they wanted it on The Wedding Album!
