I've got to do this one tomorrow for a female artist (think folk/jazz .... or in the record companies words ..."copy Adele for us") ...any ideas of alternate arrangements ? I've search inside myself for inspiration to find I'm completely creatively bankrupt on this one.

Yeah the drums are awful ...twas thinking of doing the drums with pizzicato strings and the bass with detuned reverberated piano. The problem I'm having is how to balance the sparse basics with the lush strings and pads that come in on the chorus (if you can call it a chorus). The other issue is this girl can actually sing (a shock in itself) and they have given me a song that vocally is basically sung in a hoarse whisper .... it's going to be ....ummmm interesting.

Rather than Adele, my favorite sound for chicksinger/folk/jazz is (pardon my heavy breathing) Norah Jones. Everything understated. I'd borrow from her charts whatever the tune.

At lunch .... nothing tasteful or soulful has been recorded so far today. This is commercial music remember ...it doesn't have to actually be any good.

Edit: I am amazed myself that a hobby musician like me can write the above comments to the famous Dr P That's great you think that but just because I was in the right place at the right time once 30 years ago doesn't mean I'm any good mate

Got the vocals done today and we've decided on a very chill out electronica feel (they liked my sweeping pads).... so I'm morphing into Michael Cretu for the post production ...Gregorian chants anyone ?

Any chance you can post some work-in-progress clips?
It would be very interesting to hear the development of a song through the various refinement stages.

I would have just done "A Forest" and hoped no-one noticed. What a fantastic song.
