LISTEN TO SPENCE'S LATEST

RELEASED August 3, 2023

Long distance sucks. A tantalizing track that captures the raw intensity of desire and anticipation. With lyrics that explore themes of longing, impatience, and physical attraction, "Slow Burn" immerses listeners in a slow, simmering tension between two people caught in the throes of desire.

"When my (now) wife - then girlfriend - and I first started dating, we were long distance for about a year. I wrote this in a moment of...um...frustration. Waiting is never fun, but you know what they say: good things come to those who wait."

Have you ever wondered what falling in love sounds like? This is it. “Bergamo” was created after Spence flew from Canada to Italy to meet a woman she’d been chatting with online for six months (crazy, right?). And she fell in love. The real, raw, and human lyrics combine seamlessly with Spence's signature elements of 70's pop, big band hornlines, and modern production, making "Bergmo" a must-listen-to track.

"I wrote ‘Bergamo’ on the plane back to Canada. I distinctly remember being somewhere over the Arctic Circle when the lyrics just came to me. And I was waiting in Toronto to board a connecting flight back to Vancouver when the melody popped into my head. I think I still have those muffled voice memos somewhere in my phone!"

We've all been there. A drink in one hand, phone in the other, with a temptation to call someone from your past becoming insurmountable. 

"Six months or so after ending things with an ex, I received a message from them out of the blue. My stomach sunk. All of the good memories and feelings came rushing back, completly overshadowing  the times my heart was broken and trust was shattered. But from that whirlwind of emotions came the thought: 'what if I had been the one to message or call first. What would I say? Would I admit that I still think about them? Or that there are times that I miss them, even though they broke my heart?' And thus was born "When I'm Loney"".

You can almost hear the fire crackling, can almost see the couple slow dancing in this sonic marriage of a classic Holiday vibe with a modern production style. A new take on the nostalgia for Holidays of years past, "Christmas Eve" is a must-add to your Holiday Playlist.

"At the time of writing this, I was very, very single, so I can't say this song is about anyone in particular, or describes a situation I found myself in. But I wanted to image what it would be like to have your person in your arms, all bundled up in a warm bedroom, and have to leave them to go partake in the obligatory events of the Holidays. What would I want to say to them? What would I want them to know?"

You know what having a crush on someone feels like? Well, this is what it sounds like. Giddiness, warm butterflies, uncontrollable smiling... sometimes, you just gotta put yourself out there and ask, 'what would you do if I said I have a crush on you'?

"There was a coworker that I developed a bit of a crush on… the only problem was, they were in a long-term relationship. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on who you would ask I suppose), we continued this harmless little flirtationship. “Crush” was born out of the thought 'what if I just told them, my friend, that I had a crush on them? Would it ruin our friendship? Would they like the idea, and entertain it?'"

Picture this: you’re on a main-character strut down the street. You see a gorgeous human. Your jaw drops. Who are they? What’s their story? How can I get to know them? This is what “Do You Listen To girl in red” describes, all set to a gets-in-your-bones, dance-worthy, headphone-blasting beat. 

"I have to confess the back story of this one...there was a woman I worked with, and I always suspected she listened to girl in red, if you know what I mean. One day she even mentioned her girlfriend coming into town, but hey, that could have also been a platonic friend who was a girl. So frequently, I just wanted to ask, 'are you into girls or not' - but I couldn't...so I wrote this song instead".
