Here’s one that we hope you guys enjoy, 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) by the awesome Lizzo. First of all, how on earth have we got this far without covering a Lizzo song?! I mean seriously, when we were trying to decide what song to cover next we were sure that we had already done loads of Lizzo, but no, this is our first one! And what a song to start with, she’s such a powerful singer and this really is a TUNE! So much fun learning this one.
When we realised that it was our first Lizzo song we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce (officially at least) our brand new(ish) electric instruments! Woo! Sarah bought her CR4 NsDesign Electric Cello just before lockdown started and we’ve done a few little gigs on them so far but we haven’t really officially christened them with a proper video. Jaya got his Bridge Aquila Dragon Electric Violin last year. We are both a little bit in love with them but also feel a little bit like we’re cheating on our acoustic instruments (sorry guys)…
For all the gear nerds out there we are putting the instruments through an Electro Harmonix Platform Stereo Compressor pedal straight into a Bose S1 PA (the instruments have their own in-built pre-amps).
