● Editor's Note
Todd Mullins opens his upcoming album of cover songs with 'Shout', the 1985 anthem he fell for on first listen, and his own argument that a constraint can be a gift.
This Halloween I am excited to release the first track from my upcoming album of cover songs. They are all songs that I loved at various times in my life, songs dating from the 1960s through to the early 2000s. I am drawn to covers because they provide an opportunity for creativity within constraints; a chance to share a new perspective on an old friend. I remember hearing Shout for the first time in 1985, and instantly loving its pulsing rhythm, powerful production, and anthemic vocals. My version is ….. a little different….
● The Interview
If your music were a place, what would it look like, smell like, feel like?
A big house with many different rooms, all with different decor, and offering different vibes. It is certainly not just one thing!
What genre do you officially claim, and what genre do you secretly belong to?
Officially, guitar rock. But I harbor a great love for shoegaze, synth-pop, electronica, and traditional jazz.
What's your creative process like? Do you write from life, from imagination, or somewhere in between?
I write from life experience, sometimes my own life, sometimes other people's lives, and sometimes imaginary people's lives.
Do you make music better alone or with other people in the room?
Definitely alone!
Have you ever felt pressure to write a song around a hook that would work in the first three seconds of a video? What did you do with that pressure?
No. I reject the pressure of catering to the absurdly short attention span of today's public. I write what I write, and if people cannot be bothered to sit still and listen, then they are not my target audience.
What does success look like to you, not in the industry's eyes, but in yours?
Making a song that I would want to listen to over and over again.
What do you listen to when you're not listening to music?
Birdsongs.
