Update: Just so you guys know; the new single has been posted on Myspace again, so now you can add the track to your page. (I have!) Also-- OMG. xd Read his blog. It's great.
Yay! Welcome to the The Official Felix Taylor Thread. (You have no idea how proud I am to type that... >W< ) For those of you who haven't already figured it out, Felix is Roger's oldest son and firstborn child. Recently, FT has posted up his first real track on his Myspace, titled Woman You're So Beautiful. Felix is recording under the name 'Felix and Arty', which, you may have noticed, sounds suspiciously like Felix and RT. Yup! Roger worked alongside him on this track, clearly doing drums and also giving a helping hand with the vocals and lyrics.
For more information, here is the brief message he wrote to fans on his Myspace.
Felix
A big hello to anyone checking out the Arty and Felix release. Felix here (the one not wearing a picture frame on his head), speaking on behalf of both myself and the man behind the canvas. Hes a bit short on words when it comes to things like this, so Ive been asked to write a little something about the tune in his stead.
My dad wrote it a few months back and the first mix was cut with himself on vocals. We all thought it was pretty catchy and that he had done a good job all round. But, ever the perfectionist, he wasnt quite happy with what he had, and started tinkering with it, suggesting that I cut a vocal for it. Not being particularly experienced in this field, I was very chuffed to be asked, and gave it a go in the studio. I was pleased with the result, it sounded pretty good and was deadly catchy (almost irritatingly so). My dad was happier with this cut too, so he thought he would try and hawk it to Transistor Project and Parlophone as a summer single. They took the bait and here we are
I think it started off as a sort of statement about how women are, paradoxically, both wonderful and incredibly annoying, the force that brings joy to a mans life with one hand and sucks it out with the other all very deep and meaningful, but being a pop song, its not Pulitzer material. Its just a damn good, reggae-lite summer pop tune, with a killer chorus that stays in your head whether you like it or not. Like cold beer and football, it goes well with barbecues and beach holidays. So, here we are. Were both very excited about it, and we hope you like it enough to fork out a few pence on it.
