Not much to say as we were only able to rehearse very late in the semester, so there’s only two rehearsals to speak of:
Rehearsal 1 – Myself, Lily, Sam, Serena and Declan met and we started learning Sam and Lily’s songs first, coming to grips with the rather unusual song form of Sam’s “Don’t Jump The Gun”, and the half-folk half-R&B saunter of Lily’s “Go”.
Rehearsal 2 – The five of us were all present again, and we learnt Serena’s soulful “Bittersweet”, as well as re-practiced Lily’s song – in which we dropped the folky aspects and leant fully on the R&B influence, a decision which gives the song’s rhythm more punch and overall increases the impact on the listener.
