Single Focus: Motez

Answered by: Motez Obaidi

Single title? The Future feat Antony & Cleopatra

What's the song about? A relationship coming to a natural conclusion, when two lovers grow apart.

How long did it take to write/record? The idea was conceived about three years ago, then the song was formulated over the last two and a half years. At the end, we recorded a school choir and mixed it in.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? This track is a standalone single.

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Swing beats and sensual melodies. The story itself was a big inspiration to the way the song was heading, it had to be done in a laid back, emotional way to convey the bittersweet message.

We'll like this song if we like... Disclosure - Willing & Able. Janet Jackson - Got 'Til It's Gone.

Do you play it differently live? The song has a few remixes, I usually play one of them depending on the setting, and I hope to close my set with the original.

When and where is your launch/next gigs? 1 Sep, Metro Theatre; 2 Sep, 157 Franklin Sreet; 9 Sep, Villa Nightclub; 15 Sep, The Triffid; 16 Sep, Corner Hotel.
