Reelz by AJ Capuano
The writing for this album started early this year. I was listening to 90’s stuff — the Babyface and Max Martin blockbusters at the time.
One night I was walking with my wife to the corner store, and we were talking about how boyband music was so effective in telling a story that’s relatable to the point that it feels autobiographical. I thought wouldn’t it be funny if one of those boyband songs came on, except it started singing about the minutia of your inner life?
That’s what sort of started the writing process, and I really started playing with my Korg Trinity (peak 90’s — it has a floppy disk drive) to find how to make those kinds of sounds.
Over the past two albums with Vultress, I’ve explored albums that tell a story from start to finish. Those tendencies are here but this album is different. All put together, feels to me like it has a cumulative effect. Like the movie Crash where you see different peoples’ lives intersect, omnipotent R&B groups harmonizing overhead.
