Speaking of the project, Ben says: “Collaborating with Solomon for this was a real special one. 'Wish I Didn't Miss You' by Angie Stone has been one of my favourite tune’s for as long as I can remember, and I’ve wanted to re-work and put my own spin on this record. Solomon's voice brings a whole new dimension to the track. Aside from the pure talent he is to create with, Solomon really is one of the most calm and optimistic people I’ve worked with. When you’re covering such a classic song, I personally didn’t want to straight up copy it. It’s important that I put my take on it, and play it to make it really authentic to me. Hopefully whoever watches this gets the same joy that we did making it.”
Echoing Ben’s sentiment, Solomon says, “Ben Stancombe the GOAT. I didn’t know what to expect coming into this session but it was crazy what we were left with (a beautiful piece of content, the beginnings of a new song and a new friend I know I’ll definitely be collaborating with in the future). When I first arrived, Ben very passionately presented me his idea straight off the bat, and hit play on what he’d been working on for the rendition of ‘Wish I Didn’t Miss You’. At first I was like “damn, this dude really wants to do a cover?” but as soon as I started singing over it, I was like “nah, this is crazy”. I must say, the boy chose a classic . Ben and I have plans to cook up some more magic (hopefully in LA) and I’m really looking forward to it! We’ve got some incredible music to make.”
