I was very lucky to get hooked up with Angie through a mutual friend. A little out of the blue, really – he’d never mentioned other writers, so I was particularly interested in what caused him to connect us. He just said it was a gut reaction, which is the best answer.
She lives in the UK, we emailed back and forth a little, swapped mp3 files while she toured with Goldfrapp, and then Peter Gabriel. “Count to Ten” is our first cowrite – one of many more I hope.
She did backgrounds on “Wander Away” by recording them in a studio in England and shooting them back here. The first time I ever saw her, she was on stage at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. She was in silver pants, with a white keytar, synth-battling another band member in a strobe light. I wish I could make that kind of first impression more often.
Today this video surfaced, with Angie working with Peter Gabriel. Enjoy.
