“If it wasn’t for this, we’d probably have never revisited a lot of the songs, so it’s nice to go back and refresh some of our older ideas into new and exciting tracks, that wouldn’t have been released otherwise.”īut, it’s not all sunshine and lollipops. Many of the 12 songs were tracks that had previously been started yet left unfinished and this is something Amy says has been a unique aspect of the project.
“We’ve been down to the wire and unsure if we’d get some songs out on time and there has been moments of panic and stress! But, we’ve managed to pull through so far!” says Emma. Though, this is not to say the process has been stress free. “It’s been a chance to focus and reaffirm that we are songwriters at the end of the day,” she continues. “It’s been busy and because it’s been one after the next, there’s been no other option than to be creative – we can’t go on tour or do any shows, so we’ve really connected with our creative side,” Amy says. While the current COVID changes are out of all our control, in a sense, this has worked in their favour. How have they done it month after month?Īmy and Emma put this all down to momentum. But, think about it for a sec – one song a month including recording, filming and marketing and then onto the next. While Symphony climbs the charts, their five previous songs have also been highly successful. Which again, was no challenge for the trio when it came to producing the goods. The video was filmed in Brisbane during COVID restrictions, making way for empty streets yet a limited crew (check-it below).
Ultimately, reinvigorating and inspiring George in all aspects of life. The film clip reflects their romances with some of the partners making cameo appearances including George’s real-life partner, Kathleen, taking the lead of ‘girl’ who ‘boy’ falls for. Plus, with Amy, Emma and George each happily loved up, it was an opportunity to put their love on loud. Amy attributes the Cali sunshine, excitement of the opportunity and all-round good vibes to their success. Like many of their 2020 tracks, Symphony came to fruition in LA., when George and Amy were over there working with two producers known as The Orphanage. But, how TF have they done it without live gigs, tours, and with social distancing amongst the COVID restrictions? The answer: a winning combo of family, creativity, confidence, and pure talent. With Symphony marking number six of the 12 singles, the band is well and truly over the hump. In true Sheppard anthemic ambience, the tune takes on a joyful and upbeat angle about love, and considering the COVID chaos circumstances, it’s a welcome and timely vibe. So achievable in fact, that their June drop ‘Symphony’ is on track to be another chart topper. To me – a tone deaf layman – the concept sounds crazy, yet as I’ve recently discovered, achievable. The fam-bam band have made headlines all over the world for their hits time and time again and decided to give 12 in 12 a crack. Yet, Brissy-based band, Sheppard, are flocking killing it with seven tracks locked away and the remaining five coming in hot. 12 singles in 12 months is quite the challenge and frankly, unheard of.
