Seven Red Lions On the Making Of “I WANNA TELL YOU”
What was the creative process like for this particular song?
So, this song came out really spontaneous, Sara was just casually strumming the guitar, minding her own business, and BOOM! Out comes this riff that's so catchy, and suddenly she starts to sing "I Wanna Tell You." We couldn't resist it, and the song just grew from there, getting that groovy 70s vibe we were after. It's like the guitar riff had a mind of its own!
What was your favorite moment in making the music video?
Picture this: a funky 70s bash in our living room turned into a music video extravaganza! We tricked our friends into thinking it was just a party, but little did they know, they were becoming stars. The energy was infectious, the dancing was epic, and capturing that electric atmosphere on film was pure gold.
Can you describe the emotions or feelings you hope "I WANNA TELL YOU” Evokes in listeners?
This song is like a shot of empowerment straight to the soul! It's about breaking through barriers, discovering your strength, and strutting with newfound confidence. We wanted listeners to feel that surge of positivity and resilience, paying homage to the fierce spirit of women everywhere.
Where do you find inspiration for your songs or musical ideas?
We listen to a lot of music genders, from classic rock to jazz to electronic beats. For this track's retro groove, we dove deep into 70s legends like Janis Joplin for soulful vocals, The Cream for epic riffs, and The Who for that unbeatable swagger. It's like taking a sonic road trip through the best of musical history!
Can you share a standout moment from one of your live performances that you'll never forget?
Our live shows are like lightning storms of energy and passion, but one gig stands out among the rest—the presentation of our first EP some years ago, was quite a special moment for us. Seeing a full venue, with so many friends, feeling the crowd's roar, and living every note—it's the stuff rock dreams are made of, and we'll cherish that night forever.
