Description

Dave Stewart’s new personal project partners him with a one-ofa-kind young male singer from Louisiana, Thomas Lindsey. The first single from their upcoming album is called “Another Lie”. The accompanying video features 13-year-old Indya Love, in an unusual twist, singing the song’s lyrics of love and deceit alongside Thomas Lindsey and Dave Stewart. The album Spitballin’ was recorded between Los Angeles and Louisiana, completely isolated from one another, never recording together in the same room–or state–by using the power of the internet to collaborate on the project. Lindsey says the songs “have so many different influences and soundsit’s an eclectic mix of everything.” With a woven soundscape of Gospel, Blues, Country and Rock, Stewart says Lindsey is “one of the freshest new vocal discoveries in the last twenty years.” Following a tweet to Dave Stewart, Thomas Lindsey’s musical idol ever since he fell in love with the music of the Eurythmics in high school, he was invited to open a show for Stewart at The Toubadour in L.A.. Shortly thereafter, they began writing together by sending audio files back and forth between L.A. and Louisiana. “I’d never written like this before,” Stewart says. “Usually I sit in a room with my co-writer. It was very odd and unpredictable when I would open up a file of something he sang in his living room. I would come up with music to send back to him to fit what he sang. It made me think about writing in a completely different way.” Working long distance seemed to bring them closer as they built a catalog of songs, touching on anything from the deep Blues of “Another Lie” via the rocking “Two People” to the atmospheric Gospel of “Alcohol”. Stewart and Lindsey’s common ground has proved as lush as Delta marshland. Be prepared for the unexpected.
