Signs by IKON
Elliot, production partner Alex Rizzo and Jalapeno label boss Trevor Mac started working on material for a new IKON album and in the end it all came together quite quickly – working with friends who were a bit closer to home the end result is an album that sounds like it was recorded with a plan in mind and a consistent sound.
“There’s a lot of Rhodes on the album” says Alex – “it’s such a warm sound and works in so many different ways. We love experimenting with different instruments but if there was a sound to the album it always comes back to those beautiful warm Rhodes keys”.
The album kicks off with “No Reason To Stay” one of two tracks vocalled by seasoned soul singer Dee Ellington. “We had a good time in the studio with Dee – she’s a lot of fun to be around and has a really distinctive sound to her vocals” says Trevor “We also worked.
