I added some more vocals to a song i wrote with my band and i think this is probably going to be our strongest release so far, its called "Shine" and is some kind of weird combination of dance music and rhythm and blues, its groove feels a bit similar to the song "Knock on Wood" as done by Amii Stewart (Now theres a strange disco flashback for you!)
Anyway, i added more vocals and the vocals led us to adding some chords underneath them and suddenly we were in hitherto uncharted territory for us, now this is turning out to be a really complicated yet simple song if that makes any sense at all..
I also added some lap-steel to the song, lap-steel is a criminally underappreciated musical instrument almost exclusively used in country music but it is also really suitable for adding swelling chords and siren-like melodies to dance music, i think a lot of dance music bands should fire one of their keyboard players and replace him with a lap-steel player, its a much more organic and interesting sounding instrument than a goddamm synthesizer.
