about

“Unlucky in love” is a collection of fifteen original dance songs. The tracks feature unusually thoughtful lyrics and imaginative arrangements.

Songwriter Seán Silke started working with DJ Producer Chris Kabs on a number of dance tracks in the autumn of 2016 but postponed these sessions when Chris agreed to work full-time on the “Unexamined Emotions” project (an album featuring singer Ellen Cosgrove).

Upon completing Ellen’s album, Seán suggested to Chris that they develop a dance album project along David Guetta or Calvin Harris lines – fifteen tracks featuring a variety of female singers. The keynote concept was dance songs with psychologically intelligent lyrics. Seán wanted to create melodic catchy dance music which also covered a range of ideas and emotions not often covered by this genre.

When working on the Ellen Cosgrove album, Seán and Chris had the luxury of dedicating two full months of studio time – working five days a week, for six hours per day. However, “Unlucky in Love” was a much more drawn out process as Chris had gone back to his day job and all our work had to be done at night. It took the best part of a year to complete fifteen tracks.

Seán and Chris were lucky to be able to avail of an extensive team of singers, six in all. These were Darien Chase, Trez Gallagher, Toni Caffrey, Heather Lawrie, Lydia Sheils and Ellen Cosgrove. The lion’s share of the recordings were handled by HeatheR, Darien and Ellen.
