(KK, composer and producer: worked with Brian Eno, Bjork and many others)
Double THumb (aka Val Del Prete) is a singer/songwriter/producer from London. She taught herself how to play the piano at 3 years of age, and wrote her first song at 6.
βIt was in A minor, I remember, although back then I didnβt know it was in A minor. it was a ballad, and horribly sadβ she laughs.
Fast forward two decades and the young lady was standing in a room packed with academic professors, discussing her dissertation for her Phd. Not a Phd in music, but a Phd in theoretical neuroscience.
βI donβt think I had the courage to take a risk and follow my real passion until I got older. I was too scared of failing and of being hurt. Of my teen years I just remember the fear, the lack of confidence, the temptation of putting myself in a bubble so that nobody could see me and judge me. I found that bubble in the world of scientific laws. I could sit down and work out equations and everything looked more rigorous and βsecureββ.
It could not last for long. By 2004, and 2 years after she relocated to London from her native country, Italy, Val gradually felt there were creative and emotional parts of herself she had neglected for too long. Within a few months she gave up her science job, put up some basic recording equipment and started making music.
βMany people thought I was crazy or deluded, which is understandable. In reality it took me a long time to make such a decision. The thing is I LOVE making music. I donβt really care about fame, thatβs not my goal. I just love creating music because itβs in there that I express the darkest sides of me. Itβs a need.β
Double THumb just released her debut album "Nocturne" to excellent reviews by radio presenter and established producers alike. Several tracks have already been played on BBC Radio 6, XFM, OnFM and Radio Jade in Germany.
REVIEWS
"With its dreamlike harp arpeggios and wispy, discordant synth lines "Nocturne" takes no prisoners right from the get-go. Although supposedly a demo, the production is fresher and more original than 95% of the mundane nonsense churned out by "professional" studios and labels these days. The orchestration is expert yet sparse, the percussion startling yet understated, the vocal performances beautifully poised... Suffice it to say this is possibly the most assured debut recording I've heard by a UK artist since "The Wizard" by Bat For Lashes. "

"..a very beautiful/chic/absorbing performance"

[Intro: Steve Lacy & FousheΓ©]
I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me
[Verse 1: Steve Lacy]
What you, ooh, uh, whatβyouβdo?
Madeβa move, couldaβmade a move
IfβI knew I'd be with you
Is it too late to pursue?
[Chorus: Steve Lacy]
I bite my tongue, it's a bad habit
Kinda mad that I didn't take a stab at it
Thought you were too good for me, my dear
Never gave me time of day, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I think are sure, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Steve Lacy & FousheΓ©]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me (I wish I knew)
I wish I knew (Oh), I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (Yeah), I wish I knew you wanted me (Oh)
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me
[Verse 2: Steve Lacy]
Please say to me (Please, just say to me)
If you still wanna
I wish you wouldn't play with me
I wanna know (Oh, no)
[Chorus: Steve Lacy]
Uh, can I bite your tongue like my bad habit?
Would you mind if I tried to make a pass at it?
No, you're not too good for me, my dear
Funny you come back to me, my dear
It's okay, things happen for
Reasons that I can't ignore, yeah
[Post-Chorus: Steve Lacy & FousheΓ©]
I wish I knew, I wish I knew you wanted me
I wish I knew (Wish I knew), I wish I knew you wanted me (Oh)
[Bridge: Steve Lacy]
You can't surprise a Gemini (I wish I knew)
I'm everywhere, I'm cross-eyed, and (I wish I knew you wanted me)
Now that you're back, I can't decide (I wish I knew)
If I decide if you're invited (I wish I knew you wanted me)
You always knew the way to wow me
Fuck around, get tongue-tied, and
I turn it on, I make it rowdy
Then carry on, but I'm not hidin'
You grabbin' me hard 'cause you know what you found
It's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
[Break: Steve Lacy]
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
[Outro: Steve Lacy & FousheΓ©]
You can't surprise a Gemini
But you know it's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
I knew you'd come back around
'Cause you know it's biscuits, it's gravy, babe
Let's fuck in the back of the mall, lose control
Go stupid, go crazy, babe
I know I'll be in your heart 'til the end
You'll miss me, don't beg me, babe
