After a long period of work that included reaching out to other talented artists, smooth jazz aficionado Daniel Deloach is ready to release his next single "Butterscotch" on July 25, 2024. "It was a bit of an effort," says DeLoach. "I had this cool vibe with the chords and stuff going, but couldn't always get the sounds I wanted." A particular issue was the bass sound. "Yeah, I was cycling thru all these synth bass options but nothing sounded REAL. I didn't want an EDM track." That's when the collab idea sprung to mind. "What people don't know about Sugarfret - sure, he's a great guitar player and visionary songwriter but he's also a pretty good bass player too! So I rang him up and said 'Hey man, think you could help me out?'. He said no problem, and of course immediately proceeded to lay down a great bass track." Percussion was another sticking spot. "I wanted to have kind of a different sounding outro section...I was thinking something reminiscent of the outro to Toto's Rosanna, which is so fantastic. But I was struggling to come up with the appropriate kind of beat and percussion sound." Fortunately he had recently met the Jacksonville, FL based illustrious drummer, percussionist and DJ, Dorian Lopez. "So he comes over with this cajon, and I'm like..'Whaaaat?'. But then he starts jamming on it and I'm like, oh damn - let me get the mic!" In the end, after all the effort, it was worth it. "Oh boy," says Deloach, "I probably went thru 50 versions of the lead/melody...it was a struggle. But in the end I think we finally got it!"
