This week's Cloud Of Dust Re-Imagined single is Lying In The Sun, completing Part 1 of the Volume 2 album with all 15 singles now released.
With its slower pace and dreamy trumpets, Lying In The Sun was Andy’s second song inspired by his 1983 holiday romance.
“When I originally created the backing track, it took me straight back to that hot July day and how great I felt,” Andy recalls. “The song wasn’t like anything else I’d produced at that point. The synth brass sound on the Casio MT-70 created a great atmosphere.”
For the Suno re-imagining, it was important to keep the trumpets as the main instrument, but achieving the right result was not without its challenges.
“I had several attempts at getting the sound I was aiming for, but Suno kept struggling with the backing vocals,” explains Andy. “In the end, I settled on a version I liked, separated the vocals in the first few lines, and used the main vocal to repeat as the backing vocals. It was a lot of work, but I think it came out well in the end.”
