It was the first time I had the chance to work with them and It was a record that I kind of put together for them specifically. But we finally got him in and recorded that song in a studio that he ultimately bought.īabyface: That was one that was written here in Brandon’s Way (Studio in Hollywood). It was kind of difficult for us to get him in the studio and I think he was not totally feeling us at that point. It was the second album we had worked on with Bobby and at that point Bobby was spending most of his time with Teddy Riley. Singersroom: Bobby Brown â Humpin’ Aroundīabyface: That was written in Atlanta. At the last minute they voted it back in again. When I first submitted it, I think the guys liked it but then at one point the record was voted off there album. Once I finished it, the hard part is like when you do one big song like “End Of The Road,” it’s tough to try to out do it but it was something that was in that line. Singersroom: Boyz II Men â I’ll Make Love To Youīabyface: “I’ll Make Love To You” was kind of the follow up to “End Of The Road.” I think I wrote it in an apartment here in LA. It was really written quickly probably a couple of hours. It was kind of one of those songs that I kind of sat down and started playing these cords and the words and melodies just kind of floated out. We were trying to come up with more songs for her record. It was at LA house, we had a studio we built there in the guest house. Singersroom: Toni Braxton â Breathe Againīabyface: “Breather Again” was written in Atlanta Georgia inside a studio with Coco (SWV).
Singersroom: So I’m going to mention a few of your biggest records and I want you to tell me how those songs were written.
