SoulStice – Forgiveness

Via SoulStice himself:

I’ve always been a fan of a quality pop music.  Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with a more “pop” sound for music I’ve been pitching for movie placements.  At first I was just doing the pop stuff “on the side,” but then I started wondering what it be like to really dive into a new creative direction.  Truthfully, I don’t know if assuming a more mainstream sound would cause me to sell more records or not…at the end of the day, I could wind up with fewer fans than I had before!  Like anything worthwhile, change holds as much risk as it does promise. For the better part of a decade, I’ve been in business of creating music from my spot just outside of the music business.  On “Forgiveness” I’m expressing some of the frustration I’ve experienced along the way while experimenting with a new sound.

What if I told you I had a new Kooley High track for you? You’d be pretty stoked, but you’d say, “Come on, Monster, you hip us to that shit on the regular, you know I’ma cop that when I get around to it.”

BUT, if I told you that new Kooley featured HaLo AND Median? You’d be ghost in 2.3 seconds to the nearest computer.

Luckily for you, you’re already here.
