I wanted to say a big thank you to Ade Fenton. Savage is the 4th album I’ve worked on with Ade, and the most painless by far (I think we’re getting used to each other), but his work is just exceptional. He’s not only extremely creative but ridiculously hard working, even in difficult circumstances. It’s easy to discuss alternative ideas with him, he’s not precious about things and is always looking to make the music better, even if that means, on very rare occasions, undoing his own work and starting again. He makes it a far more enjoyable experience than you would expect, given the enormous pressure that is always present as part and parcel of making albums. As he often tells me, I just need to write better songs 🙂
