Debbie Fredericks - Tell Me

So after the success of "Listen To The Rain" it was time for Debbie to release her first solo song. In hindsight I am not sure this was the best, but it is what I had at the time. Although I had a followup song to "Listen To The Rain", Debbie was always a fan of R&B so I knew that doing a euro track wasn't going to be ideal. I had the basic idea for the song and headed to my hometown of Pembroke where she was living and let her hear what I had. She added additional lyrics and we went from there. My original production had an organ bass sample, Korg Wavestation playing the string pad sound (a patch I have used so many times), and a Novation Bass Station rack (which played the little lead hook). I had drums but those where replaced in the final mix by Jason. Again, like "This Is The Time" I somehow got an arranged by credit. To be very clear, I never worked in a studio with other people. In those days I worked alone in a small bedroom with a basic setup. 25 years later I cringe when I see the credits given to people back at the time. Another lesson learnt. After this song I decided it was time to work with another label in hopes of getting paid moving forward. This was my last record I did with The Major. If memory serves, Debbie did another single with them.
