No.6 Collaborations Project
This record was based on one I made in 2010 called *No.5 Collaborations Project* with a load of artists I liked. I had a little folder on my laptop called *No.6 Collaborations Project*, so I started ringing up people who I wanted to work with. I think the first was Camila, and then it sort of opened up from there. I based myself in Nashville, set up a studio there and started making songs, so whenever an artist passed through Nashville I would hit them up and they would come to the house. We’d make a song, and the record was made over the course of three months, with lots of people I like. I really stepped out of my comfort zone on some stuff. It was very fun and I hope you enjoy it. —Ed
