The Stoops - Free (Launch at The Rosemount)

Hey all, how are you going? For those that haven't heard it before Rae had an album titled "Fluke" that featured a track from The Stoops titled "Free". The track ended up featured on a Foxtel advertisement and has well you could say blown up a little bit. On Wednesday June 22nd The Stoops will be launching the track at The Rosemount Hotel in North Perth. Make sure you head down to check it out.

Releasing their latest single (Free) this weekend, (The Stoops)’s MC (Pronto) gives us the story of the single.

We (The Stoops) met Georgi Kay after performing at Last years WAM Song of The Year awards night. She approached us right after claiming the ultimate prize (2010 WAM Song of The Year) and asked if it would be possible to work together. Hell yeah we would! Now it’s not very often someone with a voice like that would ask such a thing, so we made sure we waited until the right moment to make the most of the opportunity.
A month or so later, Rae (Speek Easy) sent us a beat he wanted us to collaborate on for his debut album “Fluke”. The beat was straight out fire. How could someone who has been making beats for such a short period of time be producing gems like this?! A heavy synth that growled underneath some bouncy drums was the driving force of the beats ability to make your insides move. Images of someone listening to it, eyes closed, facing the sky were flashing through our minds. So we really wanted to capture this sense of freedom in the topic. We started writing verses and all was going well until we got to the chorus… We played with the idea of Georgi writing a hook but were pretty unsure as it seemed well out of her comfort zone. We threw caution to the wind and sent the beat to her with a verse on it. Her enthusiasm was actually a little suprising and the following week she came round to our home studio (The Stoop) to record.
Recording Georgi for this track is something I will never forget. She stepped into the booth without us having heard/read any of her lyrics. When the combination of her vocals and this beat rang through my headphones for the first time I experienced an exhilarating chill. The feel that was created was exactly what was needed.
So here we are today, single about to be released at The Rosemount on June 22nd, 40,000 hits on YouTube and a new video clip currently being edited by Cut & Paste DVD. All because of a series of random events that lead to a combination of sounds that all meshed perfectly. You could even say the whole thing was a “Fluke”.
The launch will be brought to you by a set from each entity; Speek Easy, The Stoops, Georgi Kay and special guests That Velvet Echo.
