Hi Ian,
What is your general approach when starting to write and produce a song? And how does it differ when working with Kacey?
Golden Hour and Deeper Well have so much depth: How did you achieve this while recording and producing the songs? And how did the mixing enhance it? Did you decide who should mix each song before or were they all sent to Shawn, Serban, Craig and Konrad as a “shoot-out”?
Do you have a ritual to prepare for session recordings? e.g. to play “in the pocket” or to get into the right mood of a song?
Could you tell us something about the production of Amen? Working with Beyoncé and so many co-writers and co-producers.
Chaos and the Calm is such an amazing album. Could you give us some insights of the recording sessions?
I’m looking forward to your future work. Especially with Kacey.
Thanks a lot and good luck for the Grammys!
Best regards,
Timo
