Kesmar releases new single 'Delora' off of his upcoming EP 'Forever Holiday'.
Speaking of the track, Hawes shares: “The day that we wrote ‘Delora’ nothing really went in our favour, a series of technical issues lead to Tij's computer completely dying so we had to resort to the laptop I had with me at the time, which was incredibly slow but somehow we persevered and came out with a song that stuck with me for well over a year. It was originally demoed with a straight beat but after maybe four other versions it found its way into a Toto-esque shuffle groove which i was totally down for. We wanted to change it up from live drums to the infamous LM1 drum machine, made famous by Michael Jackson, Prince etc.. We also took a step back from the heavily used Fender Rhodes and swapped it out for a Yamaha DX7, from then we had a clear version on how the song should sound and feel. Unlike a lot of the other new songs the lyric concept is fairly upfront and direct but i won’t go too deep into that.. I still like to leave it up to your own imagination, hopefully everyone can relate to knowing a ‘Delora' -type personality in their own lives."
