We featured Jade Moede recently for his bouncy and conceptual new single, Ooo La La Rachel’s Stuff, so we were thrilled to hear that the rising artist from Cotuit was releasing a new opus, Drive On Skirtzy.
Always uniquely titled, the original artist opens his latest adventure with pulsing guitar, a car turning on, with drums as he sings, “Hello there, I like ya, I am a low rider, driving the car, life on the go, no little worries, riding the road…”, with his signature and iconic delivery.
Speaking on the inspiration of the track, Jade Moede says, “What inspired Drive On Skirtzy is the love of cruising the drive… bonding with a vehicle that you had no idea you’d love for a very long time.”
“It really came from the heart of my old car, which happened to be a couch on wheels. And oh man, she could fly when stepped on the metal, hence her skirt in the air was cruising down the line. She was heaven to drive”, expands the emerging artist.
Jade Moede is a drummer, singer, songwriter, who loves to create music. He is currently learning how to play the cello and already plays and records with guitar, piano, vibes and bass.
When discussing his influences, Jade cites Queen, the Violent Femmes, and laughter, and it is clear that Jade is creating his own universe.
Jade’s innovative lyricism is always laced with optimism and when discussing the creative process for Drive On Skirtzy, he says, “I recorded the tracks at home, Then went to Jon Evans at Brick Hill, where I recorded studio drums over all the tracks. It needed to be beefed up and his drum room and studio is just magic and such a pleasure to create there. Jon Evans is a great guy, who engineered and mixed the song. It was then sent to “Peerlessmastering” and both Jeff Lipton and Maria Rice were the Mastering engineers. Jeff and Maria are my super sonic heroes, man they are fantastic, and just super cool to be around.”
We equally love the way Jade tells us his stories, in the same passionate vein of how he brings his songs to life!
We have added Drive On Skirtzy to our New Music Spotlight playlist along with Ooo La La Rachel’s Stuff!
