So Mr. Paul Andrews, welcome to Like a Muse.
23
00:02:34,041 --> 00:02:40,625
Thank you for having me. I'm so glad you're
here and I've had a really good time getting
24
00:02:40,625 --> 00:02:45,445
to know you in the pre-production for this interview.
I have a number of questions for you as you
25
00:02:45,445 --> 00:02:50,518
know, this is a Madonna podcast after all. And
this is a question I ask everyone. Can you
26
00:02:50,518 --> 00:02:55,160
share a story of your first Madonna related
memory? It can be anything, perhaps a song
27
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,743
or an image or a video, anything, anything at
all. I encourage you to go way back. Okay.
28
00:02:59,743 --> 00:03:07,647
Well, I grew up in the 80s. So MTV, all
of that stuff. I remember seeing her videos,
29
00:03:07,667 --> 00:03:12,832
but it wasn't until Borderline came out. I remember
her spray painting the walls and I think a
30
00:03:12,832 --> 00:03:19,044
car or something. I'm like, oh, this is good
song. think Reggie Lucas wrote that. I'm like,
31
00:03:19,044 --> 00:03:25,356
oh. Yes, Reggie. That's when I started noticing
Madonna with that song. OK. But it wasn't
32
00:03:25,356 --> 00:03:31,357
until True Blue when I really got into her because
she wants to be an artist. She was growing,
33
00:03:31,357 --> 00:03:35,949
you know? Becoming more mature artists in her
lyrics and in the writing. It was Pat Leonard
34
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:39,670
she was working with. A little Stephen Bray
still. Yeah, Stephen Bray. Like A Prayer
35
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:45,476
2, those two. Oh gosh, from True Blue to Like
A Prayer, huge artistic jumps, most definitely.
36
00:03:45,476 --> 00:03:50,202
And I tell them that we're getting off of a
busy road. I'm always going to go back and
37
00:03:50,202 --> 00:03:55,295
think about that time. Her critics never wanted
to give her anything. Think about those songs
38
00:03:55,295 --> 00:04:00,480
that came out like that, Live To Tell and Like
A Prayer and... Yeah, they were like really
39
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,386
good pop songs. Major pop songs and just good
songwriting. They should have had Grammy Awards.
40
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:12,623
She got nothing. It wasn't until Ray of Light
that she got it. Almost 20 years later. That's
41
00:04:12,623 --> 00:04:15,554
good to hear about your memory, but can you
talk a little bit about how you might have
42
00:04:15,554 --> 00:04:21,057
been inspired by her? Again, the more of her,
where she was getting mature with her writing,
43
00:04:21,057 --> 00:04:25,030
I thought, you know what? She's actually doing
the writing. She's writing about interesting
44
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:31,083
topics. She has a real knack for melody too,
which is one reason why I wanted to remix
45
00:04:31,083 --> 00:04:35,425
her stuff is because there's an actual melody
there. A lot of songs nowadays just repeat
46
00:04:35,425 --> 00:04:41,815
notes and stuff, but She had a way to write
where you wanted to sing along with her. For
47
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:47,827
me, that's good writing. Let's dive into your
Madonna remixes. Your Ghost Town remix was
48
00:04:47,827 --> 00:04:53,358
an official commissioned remix approved by Madonna
herself. Can you take us behind the remix
49
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:59,210
and tell us the story and how did this opportunity
affect you personally or professionally? There
50
00:04:59,210 --> 00:05:04,361
is a story around Ghost Town. I was heading
back from work and I got a call from my friend
51
00:05:04,361 --> 00:05:12,338
Michael who said, hey, one of Madonna's remix
A &R guys Orlando Puerta is really interested
52
00:05:12,338 --> 00:05:18,914
in having you remix Madonna's next single Ghost
Town. I was on the train and I was like what?
53
00:05:18,914 --> 00:05:24,460
He said is it okay to give him your number
and all the stuff and I said yes of course.
54
00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:30,286
So a few minutes later I did get a call from
Orlando. He had heard my Living for Love remix.
55
00:05:52,448 --> 00:05:58,561
and wanted me to do a spec remix. They would
see if they could use it or not. So I started
56
00:05:58,561 --> 00:06:03,883
thinking of ideas immediately for the mix.
The other thing about this, I only had two
57
00:06:03,883 --> 00:06:08,305
days to work on the mix because I was leaving
for vacation. Send it over to him and I wouldn't
58
00:06:08,305 --> 00:06:13,547
know anything about it after that. I started
to arrange the remix in my head on the train.
59
00:06:13,587 --> 00:06:18,169
I knew the tempo was one of those tricky tempos
where you could speed it up, you could slow
60
00:06:18,169 --> 00:06:23,821
it down. Didn't know what to do with it. Every
time I was coming up with ideas it was more
61
00:06:23,821 --> 00:06:29,336
of an expansion of what the original was to
make it more orchestral sounding. So I reached
62
00:06:29,336 --> 00:06:34,892
out to Orlando and I asked what is she looking
for? And he said, we want you to do what you
63
00:06:34,892 --> 00:06:40,948
think would be best for the song. And I said,
well, I'm hearing this sort of slower and
64
00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:45,442
not necessarily a dance mix. And he said, then
go for it. Like if that's what you're hearing.
65
00:06:45,686 --> 00:06:51,590
So I went with my gut and I did something slow
and somehow I came up with everything in the
66
00:06:51,590 --> 00:06:56,643
two days, not even during work. I still had
to go into work the next day. So everything
67
00:06:56,643 --> 00:07:02,676
happened after work. I mixed it down. Tom listened
to it. My husband, he got emotional. At the
68
00:07:02,676 --> 00:07:08,900
same points that I did and I knew that's like
a good sign, I hit the right tone for it. And
69
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:14,263
I sent it off. I didn't hear anything from it.
until I was actually at volleyball practice
70
00:07:14,263 --> 00:07:19,286
I don't know how many weeks later could have
been a month Orlando called and he said that
71
00:07:19,386 --> 00:07:25,009
they want to use my mix Madonna approved mine
specifically that she loved it but it would
72
00:07:25,009 --> 00:07:31,232
be a title exclusive remix of course I was over
the moon I took that as a sign for me as
73
00:07:31,232 --> 00:07:37,629
an artist to start going with my gut Like there
was something behind the fact that Madonna
74
00:07:37,629 --> 00:07:42,861
appreciated my work and wanted it the way it
was that made me believe in myself a little
75
00:07:42,861 --> 00:07:49,614
bit more. That's when I decided I wanted to
be my own artist after that. It was basically
76
00:07:49,614 --> 00:07:54,066
because of Madonna's approval that I became
my own recording artist.
77
00:08:03,853 --> 00:08:04,786
And it goes
78
00:08:11,054 --> 00:08:11,826
You're
79
00:08:15,532 --> 00:08:17,906
On to each other
80
00:08:21,528 --> 00:08:29,602
Two souls in a ghost town Thank you for sharing
a little about. I've been inspired by her
81
00:08:29,602 --> 00:08:32,942
and where he began in terms of Madonna. We're
gonna talk a little bit about more Madonna
82
00:08:32,942 --> 00:08:38,382
in terms of your remixes, but also some other
artists as well. And I've been listening to
83
00:08:38,382 --> 00:08:42,562
your remixes as well as your original productions
as a recording artist. And I think I want to
84
00:08:42,562 --> 00:08:47,282
talk about your sound. I'm gonna ask you to
describe it. Let me try to describe it a little
85
00:08:47,282 --> 00:08:52,742
bit. And we'll see how well I do. And then I'd
love to hear you in some detail, your sound.
86
00:08:53,082 --> 00:08:56,222
And then we'll also talk about a little bit
your production style. So your style, your
87
00:08:56,222 --> 00:09:01,454
sound, I would call it try to describe it as
something about physically retro but it a vintage
88
00:09:01,454 --> 00:09:06,686
sound to it. The sound is definitely modern
in terms of its production style. A little
89
00:09:06,686 --> 00:09:11,732
bit of soul. not exactly retro, but vintage
in style. And when I think about, I'm thinking
90
00:09:11,732 --> 00:09:16,806
about your remixes, when people hear about a
song that's being remixed, they oftentimes,
91
00:09:16,806 --> 00:09:21,710
I think, think of it as a upbeat, high tempo
dance song. That's what they expect it's gonna
92
00:09:21,710 --> 00:09:25,503
be. And although I think your songs definitely
have a groove to them, for sure, and I could
93
00:09:25,503 --> 00:09:29,607
say you could move to them. It's not necessarily
a high energy dance. There's where I am with
94
00:09:29,607 --> 00:09:34,031
your sound. Let's keep talking about it little
bit. How would you describe it? You know what?
95
00:09:34,071 --> 00:09:43,703
I tend to be more traditional, I guess, with
arrangements. I like taking a song and reinventing
96
00:09:43,703 --> 00:09:50,675
it. I don't necessarily just want to add a
beat to it. a song or remix has sort of
97
00:09:50,675 --> 00:09:55,847
like a journey to it. Where you hear something
and then, oh, this is something a little different.
98
00:09:55,847 --> 00:10:01,366
And then it sort of takes you, oh, like I
didn't expect that. But I want... you to still
99
00:10:01,366 --> 00:10:08,960
move to it, you know? So I tend to be, I like
bigger arrangements. I like using sometimes
100
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:16,184
like orchestra sounds and sometimes synths.
And I like that experience because I'm comfortable
101
00:10:16,184 --> 00:10:21,737
with it. I'm not going to do this club slamming
track because other people do it a lot better
102
00:10:21,737 --> 00:10:27,260
than I do. Yeah, I'm having fun doing it. And
part of the fun is how you get like the creative
103
00:10:27,260 --> 00:10:32,530
part of you out. It's just playing around
with. These remixes so being creative about
104
00:10:32,530 --> 00:10:36,990
it. I hear you saying you're trying to reinvent
the sound Take the listener on a bit of a journey
105
00:10:36,990 --> 00:10:40,610
musically I really understand what you're trying
to say and I part of reason why I wanted to
106
00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:44,510
have you and one of many reasons I wanted to
have you on this podcast and have the listeners
107
00:10:44,510 --> 00:10:50,150
hear from you because I Want them to be exposed
to how a remix can be reinvented? Let's talk
108
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:54,690
about a Madonna remix of yours, and I have a
little bit of a story I've come across your
109
00:10:54,690 --> 00:10:59,798
stuff before over the years last few years,
but I was reminded of you friend of mine, were
110
00:10:59,798 --> 00:11:03,298
just playing around on YouTube and posing each
other to different remixes, but they weren't
111
00:11:03,298 --> 00:11:07,418
at the time. he have you heard of Paul Andrews?
I'm like, I can't remember. I'll be honest,
112
00:11:07,418 --> 00:11:14,798
I couldn't remember. he said, oh my favorite
Vogue remixes is by Paul Andrews. So we started
113
00:11:14,798 --> 00:11:20,098
listening to it. was like, oh, this is really
freaking good. And then we just started listening
114
00:11:20,098 --> 00:11:23,739
to all of your remixes. You've got know, on
YouTube and you've got some webpages where
115
00:11:23,739 --> 00:11:26,880
you've got them all listed. And then we just
started downloading, I started downloading
116
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,662
like crazy, because you make that available.
And it's like, oh, the sound, he has a sound
117
00:11:30,662 --> 00:11:36,305
to himself. But that Vogue remix, you say you
don't have high energy, then I wouldn't call
118
00:11:36,305 --> 00:11:46,290
it high energy. But if there was one, this
is it.
119
00:11:52,824 --> 00:11:55,230
You know it, you know
120
00:12:01,058 --> 00:12:04,858
There's a couple other. There's a Whitney remix
of yours that think is a higher-end. Yeah,
121
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:10,378
that one's just okay. Talk about this Vogue
remix. How did this come about? It seems to
122
00:12:10,378 --> 00:12:14,558
me there might be a story there. There is a
story. Okay. Actually, there's so many little
123
00:12:14,558 --> 00:12:20,278
things about it. My friends were Chef Petty
Bone and I would try to coax a few stories
124
00:12:20,278 --> 00:12:24,338
out from him, like, you know, oh, how is it
working in the studio with this person and
125
00:12:24,338 --> 00:12:30,318
that person? had so many stories, he's great
with those stories I get a message one day,
126
00:12:30,498 --> 00:12:35,398
hey, here's a link he sent me the vocals for
Vogue I'm like, my god how lucky are you? and
127
00:12:35,398 --> 00:12:41,737
then he said I know and he said, you know my
birthday's next week and I'm like, you want
128
00:12:41,737 --> 00:12:49,898
me to do a whole remix by next week? which sounds
more like a record label than a friend I'm
129
00:12:49,898 --> 00:12:55,655
like, let me see what I can do and then I started,
I mean flew the vocals in and first of all
130
00:12:55,655 --> 00:13:00,736
just hearing what the original was like how
all the parts work is like that's more like
131
00:13:00,736 --> 00:13:07,958
oh my god you know like nerding out to it I
wanted to approach Vogue with respect because
132
00:13:07,958 --> 00:13:13,570
it's such a classic song and it had it had
elements of elegance already to it with the
133
00:13:13,570 --> 00:13:18,291
strings and stuff like that and I thought oh
let me concentrate on that side of it I liked
134
00:13:18,291 --> 00:13:24,199
the idea of starting on something that everyone
was familiar with and then like hinting, oh,
135
00:13:24,199 --> 00:13:29,251
it's going to go somewhere else. And the further
along it get, the further away it got from
136
00:13:29,251 --> 00:13:35,044
the original mix. I mean, I remember when I
played it for my husband, that one part at
137
00:13:35,044 --> 00:13:38,386
the end, I call it beautiful.
138
00:13:41,998 --> 00:13:48,441
Oh yeah, right, right, right. Because I sort
of created a new chorus with the background
139
00:13:48,441 --> 00:13:53,460
vocals and I started tearing up with it and
I turned around and Tom was crying and I'm
140
00:13:53,460 --> 00:13:59,638
like, yes! I got it. That's awesome. What a
great feeling. What an awesome feeling that
141
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:06,048
must have been. Yeah, I was so happy with
how it came out and Shep loved it. He said
142
00:14:06,048 --> 00:14:12,642
it was one of his best birthday gifts ever.
And then someone did a video for it. He edited
143
00:14:12,642 --> 00:14:19,822
old Hollywood stuff and B roll from the Vogue
video. Did a really good job. I was really
144
00:14:19,822 --> 00:14:25,602
happy with how it turned out. I didn't change
the tempo. I kept it. I think it's 114 or something.
145
00:14:25,982 --> 00:14:30,902
Because again, I wanted to respect the original.
In some way, it just really does. You're right.
146
00:14:31,222 --> 00:14:36,082
If you think about the sound that you created
with that remix, and once again, you reconstructed
147
00:14:36,082 --> 00:14:40,682
it, reinvented it as a term Madonna would use,
it does take you on a bit of a journey before
148
00:14:40,682 --> 00:14:45,086
you realize it. I really loved hearing your
story about you and your husband and how he
149
00:14:45,086 --> 00:14:51,126
hurt the first time and became emotional. More
of my conversation with Paul later in the episode.
150
00:14:51,526 --> 00:14:57,206
Let's listen to some of his remixes. This is
Mix 1, Reinvention. A mini continuous mix.
151
00:14:57,666 --> 00:15:03,626
It kicks off with Vogue. And includes more Madonna.
Paul's lucky star and living through love.
152
00:15:03,886 --> 00:15:07,346
Plus Adele, Fleetwood Mac, and Sylvia Dionne.
153
00:15:10,990 --> 00:15:11,410
you
154
00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:39,814
Right?

00:16:13,422 --> 00:16:17,778
Everywhere you turn is heartache It's everywhere
that you go
156
00:16:21,430 --> 00:16:28,048
Everything you can to escape the pain of life
that you know, life that you love When all
157
00:16:28,048 --> 00:16:39,192
else fails and you long to be something better
than you are today You can get away, it's
158
00:16:41,678 --> 00:16:43,602
It's what's so
159
00:17:02,318 --> 00:17:06,758
Use your own imagination, so use it, that's
what it's for
160
00:17:10,677 --> 00:17:13,419
Your finest inspiration Your dreamful

bump and grind it Soul is in the music, come,
162
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:18,674
that's where I'll
163
00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:31,826
I'm fine,
164
00:19:14,894 --> 00:19:22,614

It's all around that you should play the way
you feel it But listen carefully to the
188
00:26:52,142 --> 00:27:07,953
Still, I still remember what you had And what
you lost And what you had And what you lost

Here I go again, I see the crystal vision I
keep my visions to myself So let me know what's

you
196
00:29:20,174 --> 00:29:21,962
Yes, you're free
197
00:29:52,014 --> 00:29:53,066
Watch me stomp
198
00:30:29,454 --> 00:30:38,822
Let's get caught up in better not dwelling on
this crazy mess I found freedom in the ugly
199
00:30:38,822 --> 00:30:47,582
truths I deserve the best and it's not you You're
broken my heart but you can't break it down
200
00:30:47,582 --> 00:30:56,442
Now falling apart, this was lost now I'm coming
Hit up my crown, put it back on my head I can't
201
00:30:56,442 --> 00:30:59,362
move you but I will never forget
202
00:31:09,737 --> 00:31:14,962
Please don't I'm gonna carry on
203
00:31:34,826 --> 00:31:35,446
Let's go!
204
00:33:16,674 --> 00:33:23,445
Woke me up one touch and I felt alive You locked
me back to life, back to life, thought I'd
205
00:33:23,445 --> 00:33:29,074
die But voices inside were so quiet
206
00:34:15,916 --> 00:34:22,442
Strong hands, thick skin, and an open heart
You saw through the pain, saw through the
207
00:34:22,442 --> 00:34:29,138
mass You'll never give up on me
208
00:35:50,112 --> 00:35:54,862
if you could talk about how you producing these
remixes and your original music. Talk a little
209
00:35:54,862 --> 00:35:59,489
bit about the secret sauce that you're into.
Well, every time I approach a new remix,
210
00:35:59,489 --> 00:36:07,834
sometimes something just hits me with it and
I go with it. Like I did Kylie Minogue's Slow.
211
00:36:07,954 --> 00:36:20,530
Remember that song? you
212
00:36:25,902 --> 00:36:38,190
Yeah, yeah, oh, sky Keep the feeling low to
the body, yeah, let's go
213
00:36:42,606 --> 00:36:48,010
And all of a sudden like a bossa nova thing
came out from there and so I did it like a
214
00:36:48,010 --> 00:36:52,494
live band sort of like the frozen I did for
Madonna and I'm like, wow, this really works
215
00:36:52,494 --> 00:36:57,978
and I was just having fun doing it I didn't
care if it did anything or not, but I mean
216
00:36:57,978 --> 00:37:05,824
I get positive feedback on it But again the
play aspect when you work is the most important
217
00:37:05,824 --> 00:37:12,075
part of it because that's where ideas come from
I mean you do learn from copying other people,
218
00:37:12,075 --> 00:37:18,270
you learn from reading tutorials online, but
you don't get to who you are unless you start
219
00:37:18,270 --> 00:37:25,916
playing. I love the idea of playing with
melody and new harmony, with new rhythms,
220
00:37:25,916 --> 00:37:34,826
with textures, combining different sounds.
just, for me, that makes it interesting.
221
00:37:34,826 --> 00:37:39,078
I don't want to, like I mentioned before, I
don't want to have a song just to hear the
222
00:37:39,078 --> 00:37:45,141
beat. I want to have an experience where I
put it on the headphones. And then you can
223
00:37:45,141 --> 00:37:52,004
appreciate the experience. So my production,
I want it to be an experience. Trevor Horn
224
00:37:52,004 --> 00:38:01,028
is a huge influence for me. I can see that
actually. can, I can hear that. He, he provides
225
00:38:01,028 --> 00:38:06,922
an experience. And that's why people go to him
and like, hey, I need a classic album. And
226
00:38:06,922 --> 00:38:11,685
he delivers it. does that though translate
to some, I'm going to talk about some of your
227
00:38:11,685 --> 00:38:17,548
other remixes. You have a couple of Adele remixes,
I think that are fantastic. I think you're
228
00:38:17,548 --> 00:38:23,171
fan as well of her. Yeah, I am a fan. And
I suspect there'll be a lot of fans of her
229
00:38:23,171 --> 00:38:27,534
on this podcast as well, on this podcast and
listen to this podcast. So you interpreted
230
00:38:27,534 --> 00:38:33,163
those remixes and what went into the production
of those? Anything you can share? So picking
231
00:38:33,163 --> 00:38:38,601
a song by a vocalist, like if you're gonna
remix, automatically it's gonna make it sound
232
00:38:38,601 --> 00:38:43,868
better because their voice is just so good.
It doesn't matter what's in the background
233
00:38:43,868 --> 00:38:50,066
as much. But with that, actually set fire
to the rain.
234
00:38:54,190 --> 00:39:03,890
sit bored as I touch your face When it burns,
will I cry? Cause I heard it screaming out
235
00:39:03,890 --> 00:39:07,230
your name, your name
236
00:39:10,442 --> 00:39:17,958
I remember buying a sample pack and it had
that Princess Sam, your number one, Simmonds
237
00:39:17,958 --> 00:39:23,452
snare drum on it and I thought, hmm, I wonder
what the song would sound like in that same
238
00:39:23,452 --> 00:39:29,146
arrangement. So I started doing Sam, your number
one, but different chords. didn't copy the
239
00:39:29,146 --> 00:39:35,111
original. And it turned out I was really happy
with it. And then my friend Larry Flick at
240
00:39:35,111 --> 00:39:40,634
Sirius, He's like, oh my God, I love this.
And he started playing it on his channel. Then
241
00:39:40,634 --> 00:39:46,848
he started playing all these other remixes I
had. That was really nice to hear that. With
242
00:39:46,848 --> 00:39:53,501
the, what's the other one? Rumor has it? That
one, I just had a groove going and I did this
243
00:39:53,501 --> 00:39:59,993
thing with the bass. I'm like, oh, that sounds
like a low down by Boss Gags. And then I'm
244
00:39:59,993 --> 00:40:08,972
like, oh my God, can I work in that middle section
into the song? fit perfectly and oh my god
245
00:40:08,972 --> 00:40:15,107
I was so happy with that and it was something
different because all the other remixes were
246
00:40:15,107 --> 00:40:20,361
the dance remixes for it and I had my own thing
going. you've done this one a few of the remixes
247
00:40:20,361 --> 00:40:26,426
I noticed not just Adele but a few other ones
I'm trying to remember the names now but suddenly
248
00:40:26,426 --> 00:40:32,501
I realized that wait a minute I'm hearing something
that is reminiscent of a different song he's
249
00:40:32,501 --> 00:40:38,578
recreated it here I'm trying to remember was
it a seal song? Yeah, see how I did paradise
250
00:40:38,578 --> 00:40:43,178
by charday? I'm hearing a little charday.
251
00:40:47,374 --> 00:41:01,474
We're never gonna survive unless we get a little
crazy No, never gonna survive unless we are
252
00:41:01,474 --> 00:41:02,814
a little
253
00:41:08,694 --> 00:41:12,314
I really love that. It's probably going to be
in the mix.
254
00:41:15,414 --> 00:41:22,234
You do that surprisingly well in a few other
places too. It's not a mashup. It's something
255
00:41:22,234 --> 00:41:29,056
new. Yeah, it's not exactly a mashup. Harkens
back to another song like, alright. Because
256
00:41:29,056 --> 00:41:34,851
I do play all the parts, I don't take the original.
But you know what? This is good for people
257
00:41:34,851 --> 00:41:40,426
who want to get into remixing. Sometimes I
pick a song and I said, okay, I'm going to
258
00:41:40,426 --> 00:41:45,531
challenge myself and do it in this style. Do
it in And then you learn about that style
259
00:41:45,531 --> 00:41:50,925
by doing it. Yeah, like I learned, oh, okay,
there's space in this mix. That's the important
260
00:41:50,925 --> 00:41:57,863
part. Or, oh, this has the bass is moving
it along. And then I mean just by challenging
261
00:41:57,863 --> 00:42:03,569
yourself you learn. So a lot of that was learning
production. Yeah, you did it really well there.
262
00:42:03,629 --> 00:42:08,994
And if you do release it, why not? Like putting
it out there like this is what I did. Right.
263
00:42:08,994 --> 00:42:14,029
And then you get feedback. Absolutely. I
want to also say that you bring a point that
264
00:42:14,029 --> 00:42:18,573
I find interesting. Sometimes I hear from people
like, these unofficial remixes or underground
265
00:42:18,573 --> 00:42:22,362
remixes are sometimes not so good. I'm like,
well actually, know, think about it. They're
266
00:42:22,362 --> 00:42:27,902
taking a huge leap and a huge risk by putting
their work out there on the internet to share
267
00:42:27,902 --> 00:42:33,302
with the public worldwide. That's a huge risk.
I respect that for one. And that's one of the
268
00:42:33,302 --> 00:42:36,982
part of the many reasons why I do this podcast
is a bit of an uplift people and remasters
269
00:42:36,982 --> 00:42:41,442
that I'm listening to. And there's a risk there.
I wonder what that's been like for you. You
270
00:42:41,442 --> 00:42:44,762
need some people that I'm familiar with, but
what's it been like for you to get feedback
271
00:42:44,762 --> 00:42:49,002
from the populace? What's it been like? Has
it been challenging? It's been great. I'm sure
272
00:42:49,002 --> 00:42:55,613
there's been some really great feedback, but
What's it been like for you? I have been very
273
00:42:55,613 --> 00:43:02,799
fortunate that people involved with the original
productions of the songs have reached out
274
00:43:02,799 --> 00:43:13,027
to me. I don't know the word. It's not vindicated.
But I feel seen that I understand the musicality
275
00:43:13,027 --> 00:43:18,722
there, or that they understand that I understand
it. Does that make sense? It sounds like you
276
00:43:18,722 --> 00:43:25,462
feel a bit supported and encouraged. Yeah, like,
oh, this is... Like I did that remix, the Donna
277
00:43:25,462 --> 00:43:31,042
Summer remix, and the songwriter who wrote it
with her contacted me and said, you know, this
278
00:43:31,042 --> 00:43:36,442
is how we actually wrote it. It didn't end up
like this on the album, but she would have
279
00:43:36,442 --> 00:43:41,382
loved this because this is how we wrote it.
And that made me... I didn't care if anyone
280
00:43:41,382 --> 00:43:47,816
else liked it. Cause that for me, made my day.
Sweet vindication. I like vindication. Definitely.
281
00:43:47,816 --> 00:43:53,407
But that has the connotation. I didn't want
it to sound like that. More of an understanding.
282
00:43:53,407 --> 00:43:59,199
Yeah, understanding is good. Support understanding.
The only way you get better at something is
283
00:43:59,199 --> 00:44:05,761
by actually doing the work. Yeah. So you can't
shortcut. I mean, to Madonna's old stuff.
284
00:44:05,761 --> 00:44:12,590
Like her vocals early on. You know, I mean
they had soul to it. It was a little rough.
285
00:44:12,590 --> 00:44:18,504
It was her own thing. But we'll heard how
she developed, you know, and she didn't care.
286
00:44:18,504 --> 00:44:24,078
She released everything. She went with it and,
you know, I look at her. So kind of lead
287
00:44:24,078 --> 00:44:28,892
me to some of my final questions. Why did you
pick Madonna to remix of all people? First
288
00:44:28,892 --> 00:44:36,797
of all, I found vocals. Yeah, right. No, but
again, it goes back to the songwriting where
289
00:44:36,797 --> 00:44:46,182
there's a melody that you want to sing along
to and like, okay, let me change it up a bit,
290
00:44:46,202 --> 00:44:51,882
but there's something familiar to it still.
I mean, they still play her music. That's how
291
00:44:51,882 --> 00:45:01,262
great the melodies were, you know? So it's definitely
how strong her melodies, even her word choice,
292
00:45:01,402 --> 00:45:10,477
her coming up with these hooks, you know? She's
a master, absolute master at that. Just doesn't
293
00:45:10,477 --> 00:45:15,529
get the credit for it, don't think. No, she
doesn't. Her songwriting is severely overlooked.
294
00:45:15,529 --> 00:45:21,370
Coming up, the final part of our conversation
about his original songwriting and his productions.
295
00:45:21,370 --> 00:45:29,793
And he gives some blunt advice. This is Continuous
Mix 2 Cruising for Bruising. It includes Baja,
296
00:45:29,793 --> 00:45:37,177
Robin, With a Taste of Journey, Someone named
Kylie, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Paul Andrews'
297
00:45:37,177 --> 00:45:55,514
original song, Dream State, and Adele. you
Come to me and cry I know, I know, I know
298
00:45:55,514 --> 00:46:10,514
it's not easy Your heart is aching But so is
mine, oh so is mine Can I tell you why? It's
299
00:46:10,514 --> 00:46:21,359
so long, so long, so long I've been thinking
Now I know I can live a lie can live a life
300
00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:40,367
that's true and last forever if we want it
there we'll be waiting a second chance baby
301
00:46:40,367 --> 00:46:50,205
but now meantime time to learn time to understand
where we belong Life is too strong, we are
302
00:46:50,205 --> 00:47:00,704
cruising, we're cruising from baby, the second
child Baby, but now we will die in time to
303
00:47:00,784 --> 00:47:12,793
learn time to understand Where we were born
Life is too strong, we are cruising, we're
304
00:47:12,793 --> 00:47:24,622
from Let you go Don't stop, don't stop Poisons
spread and now we're Wasted love, you don't
305
00:47:24,622 --> 00:47:43,182
say goodbye Don't say goodbye They say true
love lasts forever If we wanted, there would
306
00:47:43,182 --> 00:47:51,436
be waiting I'm like I'm a child, but where be
the power? We need time, time to learn, time
307
00:47:51,436 --> 00:48:02,316
to understand. I know it's stupid, but just
gotta see it for myself. I'm in the corner,
308
00:48:02,676 --> 00:48:04,616
watching you kiss her.
309
00:48:08,396 --> 00:48:21,546
I'm right over here. Can't you see me? Oh, oh
I'm giving it my all But I'm not the guy you're
310
00:48:21,546 --> 00:48:28,626
taking home Ooh, ooh, I keep dancing on my own
311
00:48:40,589 --> 00:48:59,990
I'm just gonna dance all night I'm all messed
up, I'm so out of line Stilettos and broken
312
00:48:59,990 --> 00:49:14,639
bottles I'm spending the found in I'm in the
corner watching you kiss her I'm right over
313
00:49:14,639 --> 00:49:19,154

314
00:49:22,318 --> 00:49:23,986
I'm giving it my all
315
00:49:30,670 --> 00:49:34,066
I keep dancing on my own
316
00:49:55,214 --> 00:49:56,708
Far away
317
00:50:10,636 --> 00:50:20,055
I put my best dress on, boy I was so right
Our eyes connected Now nothing's how it used
318
00:50:20,055 --> 00:50:29,605
to be Don't second guess it Tracking on this
feeling Full focus, close up, you and me Nobody's
319
00:50:29,605 --> 00:50:41,970
leaving Got me So electric Slow down
320
00:51:52,140 --> 00:52:00,623
do it, relax, don't do it, when you wanna come.
Relax, don't do it, when you wanna suck it
321
00:52:00,623 --> 00:52:05,250
to it. Relax, don't do it, when you wanna
322
00:52:14,478 --> 00:52:15,592
Don't do it
323
00:52:18,702 --> 00:52:27,410
Don't do it when you wanna come, Don't do
it when you wanna suck to it, relax
324
00:52:54,094 --> 00:52:54,514
You
325
00:53:59,438 --> 00:54:04,434
Don't do it when you wanna go to it relax
don't do
326
00:54:08,302 --> 00:54:12,801
Don't do it when you wanna suck it to it Relax,
don't
327
00:55:16,334 --> 00:55:20,353
Tell the songs, world the stories
328
00:56:00,743 --> 00:56:03,730
limitations
329
00:56:20,974 --> 00:56:21,842
I feel like
330
00:56:43,262 --> 00:56:47,021
Sounds of songs, world and story
331
00:57:52,622 --> 00:57:53,394
you
332
00:58:01,262 --> 00:58:02,162
You me
333
00:58:05,582 --> 00:58:10,930
But my knees will fall to you
334
00:58:18,702 --> 00:58:19,378
you
335
00:58:35,086 --> 00:58:45,998
I set fire to the rain Watch it pour as I
dash to face When it burn will I cry cause
336
00:58:45,998 --> 00:58:50,162
I heard it screaming out your name
337
00:59:01,966 --> 00:59:02,354
you
338
00:59:44,270 --> 00:59:48,338
I heard it scream in the gym name
339
01:00:13,388 --> 01:00:17,110
I must be waiting for her Even
340
01:00:52,622 --> 01:00:53,586
Something
341
01:01:09,998 --> 01:01:13,598
One more talk, a little more question about
remixes, then I want talk a little bit about
342
01:01:13,598 --> 01:01:18,117
your own original productions. I've noticed
that there hasn't been anything new recently
343
01:01:18,117 --> 01:01:28,598
in last... Are you still remixing? No, not really.
I do special projects where I... How do I answer
344
01:01:28,598 --> 01:01:37,138
this? Well, it is a lot of work to put in to
do a remix. It is. But the shelf life isn't
345
01:01:37,138 --> 01:01:43,091
like it used to be. Sure. And like after two
weeks, people just aren't interested in it
346
01:01:43,091 --> 01:01:47,532
as much. They'll move on, right? Yeah. I mean,
and that's our society now with TikTok and
347
01:01:47,532 --> 01:01:51,373
all that stuff where people want something quick
and then they're onto the next thing. Right.
348
01:01:51,493 --> 01:01:57,835
So that gets a little frustrating. Also,
I realized I was coming up with all these
349
01:01:57,835 --> 01:02:04,297
good ideas, but for someone else's work. So
like, can't I do it for my, my own work?
350
01:02:04,297 --> 01:02:11,614
And there's something, there's something. about
creating everything on your own that is just
351
01:02:11,614 --> 01:02:18,439
so satisfying. And I know this podcast is,
you know, a lot of people listening is because
352
01:02:18,439 --> 01:02:23,693
they want to get into remixing. And I bet
a lot of people here when they hit a certain
353
01:02:23,693 --> 01:02:28,826
point, they're going to be, know what? I need
to do my own thing. Absolutely. That doesn't
354
01:02:28,826 --> 01:02:35,751
mean they still can't remix, but they're going
to hit that point where that creativity just
355
01:02:35,751 --> 01:02:40,024
takes over like, you know what? I could do my
own thing here. my own thing here. And that's
356
01:02:40,024 --> 01:02:45,869
what I wanted. I wanted to do my own thing.
I had two albums. Yes. My COVID album. Yes.
357
01:02:45,869 --> 01:02:52,234
I had to do something during Yes. We all did.
Yeah, there's something really satisfying
358
01:02:52,234 --> 01:02:57,458
about that. And I'm still learning it, you know.
The only difference is that I'm putting it
359
01:02:57,458 --> 01:03:03,773
out there. You have to put it out. You can't
just keep stuff for yourself. You've moved
360
01:03:03,773 --> 01:03:09,129
on to doing your own original production of
the two albums now and I have been diving
361
01:03:09,129 --> 01:03:15,145
into them. We talked a little bit about your
sound and I think you continue that to a degree
362
01:03:15,145 --> 01:03:17,778
with your original productions. Would you say
that?
363
01:03:53,512 --> 01:04:01,424
Yeah, definitely. I want the experience. I
want it to be an experience. I mean, I have
364
01:04:01,444 --> 01:04:09,117
been since the last album heavily influenced
on other types of music. I don't know how
365
01:04:09,117 --> 01:04:19,610
it's going to come out for me. I've been writing,
I'm playing around, I don't have any definite
366
01:04:19,610 --> 01:04:30,821
I don't have a path and I'm okay with that
because maybe I should just really singles
367
01:04:30,861 --> 01:04:38,819
maybe I should do an EP my friend Larry told
me I should do an EP and I I want to keep
368
01:04:38,819 --> 01:04:46,067
on seeing what else I can do so who knows
if I'll sound like Suzy and the Banshees next.
369
01:04:46,067 --> 01:04:57,784
That's unlikely. love Suzy and the Banshees.
But that's whole different influence if you
370
01:04:57,784 --> 01:05:03,811
know what I mean. It's not like the Pet Shop
Boys influence they might have or ABC and stuff
371
01:05:03,811 --> 01:05:04,998
like that.
372
01:05:33,844 --> 01:05:41,676
ABC, alright. I love ABC. Yes. A final question.
You talked a lot about your sound. Artists
373
01:05:41,676 --> 01:05:46,628
that you enjoy, the vocalists that you enjoy,
and the remixes that you've created. We've
374
01:05:46,628 --> 01:05:50,799
talked a few about them in depth. Some of the
challenges you've had and how you've developed
375
01:05:50,879 --> 01:05:55,510
as a producer and a musician. Some of the friends
that you have in the industry have learned
376
01:05:55,510 --> 01:06:00,232
a lot about you. There's a lot of history here.
Is there any final thing that you'd like to
377
01:06:00,232 --> 01:06:05,376
say to the public? Whether they're listening
here or not. they're listening here or not.
378
01:06:05,376 --> 01:06:09,209
Something that you want to send, a message
you want to send, people you want to thank,
379
01:06:09,209 --> 01:06:13,272
I don't know. Just because someone else is
successful doesn't mean that you're not going
380
01:06:13,272 --> 01:06:17,605
to be successful or it takes it away from you.
And I feel like some people don't want to share
381
01:06:17,605 --> 01:06:23,499
like how they, like the secret sauce and what
you were talking about. And the whole thing
382
01:06:23,499 --> 01:06:28,973
is about, this is your representation of yourself.
It doesn't matter that you know how to use
383
01:06:28,973 --> 01:06:40,039
the quantize feature. Right? So I think it's
helpful. I use it all the time. But I feel
384
01:06:40,039 --> 01:06:47,185
like sometimes people don't share in a community
because they're thinking it's going to take
385
01:06:47,185 --> 01:06:53,159
away from their six months. Thank you for that.
I really appreciate that. This is continuous
386
01:06:53,159 --> 01:06:58,705
mix three frozen crazy driving rain in a ghost
town. Yes, that's the title. It has three remixes
387
01:06:58,705 --> 01:07:03,513
from Paul of Madonna. It starts with Frozen,
then some Seal with a little taste of Charday,
388
01:07:03,654 --> 01:07:08,832
Everything But The Girl, then this remix of
Rain, and Paul's official remix of Ghost Town.
389
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:36,692
You only see what your eyes want to see How
can life be what you want it to be? You're
390
01:07:36,692 --> 01:07:50,826
frozen when your heart's not open You're
so consumed with how much you get You waste
391
01:07:50,826 --> 01:07:58,994
your time with hate and regret You're broken
When your heart's not
392
01:08:17,932 --> 01:08:18,493
You
393
01:08:26,336 --> 01:08:30,002
yourself to me
394
01:08:53,069 --> 01:08:58,674
You should know I suffer the same if I lose
you
395
01:09:06,254 --> 01:09:15,761
There's a bird she needs to fly Inside of you
die, you're frozen
396
01:09:46,582 --> 01:09:49,714
to me
397
01:10:29,750 --> 01:10:32,200
If I could melt your
398
01:10:48,822 --> 01:10:51,728
yourself to me.
399
01:11:20,270 --> 01:11:33,458
after 70 years that's it goes there for is to
unlock the around and criticize and sleep
400
01:11:38,510 --> 01:11:48,677
Until on a breaking wall I see you my friend
And touch your face again Miracles will happen
401
01:11:48,677 --> 01:11:52,434
as we dream
402
01:12:01,076 --> 01:12:02,357
We get a little
403
01:12:23,470 --> 01:12:23,858
you
404
01:12:27,029 --> 01:12:28,434

Album liner notes… and all those names that were scattered around the artwork. That’s where the fascination began. Paul noticed that those same songwriters, producers, and arrangers appeared on so many of his favorite recordings, and that’s where he wanted to be — in the liner notes.
In the early 1990s, after obtaining a degree in music, Paul moved to NYC and quickly became involved with the dance music scene. He began writing and producing dance and R&B songs, releasing a handful of singles. After a chance encounter with Phyllis Hyman, he placed one of his songs with the singer for her next album. And with that, Paul was offered a publishing development deal with Polygram Music. Those opportunities sadly never developed due to the tragic passing of the singer and an untimely exit of his A&R representative at Polygram.
Paul continued his music work, and by the end of the 90s he had written songs for documentaries and produced remixes for Dolly Parton, Gloria Estefan, and Robyn, among other artists. This period of his career culminated in his doing remix and production work directly for Phil Ramone.
After a break from the industry, Paul reemerged in 2012 as an independent remixer/producer, taking advantage of new platforms that delivered music directly to listeners. Now, his musical direction was about reinventing songs instead of remixing them. He quickly gained accolades from many of the original artists and producers.
