New Year, New Music

Writer's picture: Luke BendallLuke Bendall

So we've reached 2020 and I intended to make this year a big one. I wanted to finally put out my first album. I've been making music for several years and up until late 2019, I'd never released my music properly. With over 100 tracks that I've kept to myself, it was a bit frustrating to never put my stuff out.


So I released my first track "BOOM". It was one of the most exciting tracks I had made so I thought "Let's show the world what I'm made of". I was extremely proud of what I'd made, especially since I did everything for it. Mix. Master. Artwork. The whole lot.


But before I released Boom, I had already started on one of the biggest projects I'd ever done. Creating a whole Album based on a concept/story. I started to write each track at the beginning of March and by mid August, it was finished. The majority of the album transitioned between tracks smoothly, with the stories and concepts behind each track developing as they grew.


After I had created the first 10 tracks, I wondered about doing a deluxe version of the album. I'd always wanted to do one and most of the deluxe songs I've heard from other artists are some of my favourite ones.

So I set about creating a few more tracks, with the original intention of making a further 3. However, I later decided to stick to 2 as I just couldn't take the album any further.


After that, I left the album alone for a couple of months to focus on Uni and album artwork. It took another few weeks to get back into the project, making sure mixes were good and ready to master. I spent 3 weeks mastering each track in between Uni and work and finished the album by mid December.


The artwork was finished by early January this year and I needed to decide what track I wanted to release first. Since I had created some extra artwork that suited the name, I decided to release Eternal Blue as the first single.




With the album coming out in just over a month, I've never been so proud of what I've done. I've created something that represents my musical form and the world will finally be able to hear it soon. I've already reached my goal this year (Which is a first) and I'm already working on more music.


I hope you enjoy listening to my first album. Send me a message or comment below to tell me what you're most excited for this year!!!
