Give Me One Reason

The One Take Sessions

Give Me One Reason was released in 1995 by Tracey Chapman on her breakout album “New Beginnings’. The bluesy pop song was an instant hit!

Today I decided to give it the Deborah Dicembre treatment in one take. Usually when you record a vocal performance you record the song a few times and cut’n’paste till you get the best version . Sometimes you might even go over and over a line till you get it just right.

The experiment with the one take sessions is to show you what can go right and what can go wrong. Yes I leave in all the mistakes. It’s a bit of fun . And takes a lot of courage !

I am a session singer , so if you’re looking for a vocalist to sing on your project lead or backing vocals , reach out. I’m working remotely for producers all around the world. That’s how we roll these days!

I hope you enjoy my version of Give Me One Reason. Be sure to leave a comment. They’re always fun for me to read and I always respond.
