On the verge of 2016 we are posting our last song of this year ;-)
It's a collaboration with South African singer-songwriter Paddy Gobel. We had a BIAB funky instrumental project lying around which wasn't going anywhere vocalwise, so we decided to send it to Paddy. He came up with an entirely different singing melody than we initially had in mind. The same goes for the song's theme... his granddaughter. Anne-Marie created the video.
Hope you like it. Best wishes!
Rob & Anne-Marie

An interesting mixture of diversity between music, subject and lyrics. It all meshed well together and worked beautifully. The video helped tie everything together. Very professional at every level
Good song and good lyrics and an absolute adorable granddaughter.
Pretty song, and beautiful little girl!! Another quality production as you guys are known for. Very nice use of the band, excellent vocal and mix. Very nicely done! Take care. Greg
nice tune. You 've got a great voice, Rob. I always have instrumental projects that go nowhere with lyrics; this is one of the reasons why I play the guitar as melody.
Thanks for all the kind responses! The pictures were made by a Romanian photographer, we downloaded them from Pixabay. These were all different children Baby samples: Looperman Best wishes to you all!

It would be very hard to add anything to Charlie's response other than say we agree with every word he wrote.
You two had an incredible run this year with the frequent displays of your wonderful talent.
We look forward to many more in 2016.
