The ChapTones - i'll be there (non-stop mix)

i’ll be there (non-stop mix) ___________________ author’s note: from the day i finished the album, i knew i wanted to make a version that more closely corresponded to how it was performed - as three twelve-minute suites, largely without interruption. due to the way we recorded, it would have been a headache to present the music that way on the album proper, but as soon as the final version was sent off to distribution i started work on what i’ve dubbed the NON-STOP MIX. a bit of a misnomer perhaps, given that there are occasionally stops, but rather than between every track, only where deemed thematically and narratively necessary. the non-stop format also allowed me to add some framing that never worked on the standard album - the tracks homemade dynamite, falling / recovery, and high hopes were written around a real-life few hours at a party in october 2018, so i used some found audio from that night to tie those sections together. this is my favourite way to listen to the album, and i hope you all love it as much as i do 💙 avery roberts arranger, writer, producer ___________________ CREDITS 0:00 - intro (who’s loving you) OPB: The Jackson 5 Written by: Smokey Robinson Solo: Sydney Jarvis 1:57 - victorious OPB: Panic!
