Footage from the cutting of the vinyl of the single.
My first draft of the lyric sheet for ‘What Goes Around’. The musicians among you may notice how I changed the key (which always infuriates the producer…). This seems to happen with every single song I write.
*Update* Thanks to everyone who bought the vinyl - we sold out the entire run on preorder in the first 24 hours!
