Celebrated guitarist and singer Orianthi spoke to Guitar Interactive journal about her upcoming album, “Some Type Of Feeling”, due later within the 12 months through Woodward Avenue Information. She mentioned (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I am actually excited. Yeah, this document got here collectively actually organically with my band. We recorded it at Robby Krieger‘s [THE DOORS] studio out right here in L.A. So we went all the way down to Love Avenue Sound. And Robby‘s such a legend and him letting us use his area was such a candy factor and I am actually grateful for that. And I produced half the document myself after which had legend Kevin Shirley produce the remainder of it. So it was actually cool. And I acquired my band in there, and it was, truthfully, very easy — actually quick, very easy. A lot of the tracks have a extremely reside really feel to them, as a result of they’re just about reside. We most likely minimize them three or 4 instances after which selected the most effective one, after which added some backgrounds and whatnot and some fixes and whatnot, however finally what you are listening to could be very reside, and I needed to maintain it that means.”
Relating to the choice to title the album “Some Type Of Feeling”, Orianthi mentioned: “Every thing was sort of occurring a sense. Each tune is kind of just a little totally different, like from ‘Ghost’ to ‘First Time Blues’ to ‘Some Type Of Feeling’. They’re sort of just a little different-sounding — not style-wise, however kind of in a means. Like ‘Some Type Of Feeling’ sounds Motown — it is kind of like blues, nation, pop — after which ‘Ghost’ feels like a pop ballad, and you then’ve acquired ‘First Time Blues’, which is like sort of rock blues. So I do not know. It is sort of like each tune is occurring a sense. And I feel that that sort of title sums it up considerably.”
Requested if she enjoys working with outdoors producers, like Kevin Shirley, or if she prefers doing every part on her personal, Orianthi mentioned: “I produced my first document, so I discovered produce and engineer after I was actually younger. So, I sort of needed to do it once more. And I like doing lots of stuff right here myself. And even after I’m within the studio working with totally different producers, I sort of do kind of co-produce; I am very hands-on, like, ‘No, I would like my tone like this. No, I wanna re-sing it like this.’ I am sort of bossy in a means, so it must be the precise producer to work with me, as a result of, except I actually respect them, I am not gonna belief them, if that is smart, to essentially make a document. [I don’t wanna] waste my time or their time, us getting into collectively, as a result of in any other case it simply looks like… If it isn’t gonna be the precise match, I sort of know straight off the bat, like after I meet them for dinner or drinks or no matter, and we chat about what we’re gonna do, I do know if that individual is the precise one to provide my document — not solely from their physique of labor [from what they’ve done] earlier than, however as an individual, their character, they have to be very alpha as a result of I’m. They need to be actually opinionated within the sense of what they’re in search of, and that means there is no wavering. It is, like, [I want them to tell me] … ‘We have to do that. We have to get this miked this manner. This drum sound must sound like this.’ I like that in a producer. I want that kind of scenario.”
