The summer of 2014 has been a good one in our music industry. Artists have been on their A game releasing new projects, singles and albums and most of all shelling out songs for their listeners to enjoy as they embrace the summer days and nights and whats better than a summer day and night? Some summer music. For once, this summer our music industry hasn't been plagued with massive controversy, and for the first time there's been a general interest in music that has been released over the course of the last few months. Another great thing that has come out of 2014 in the very recent weeks so far has been the Wolverines. The English production duo made up of brothers William and Roman Grach hailing from London, England bursted onto the scenes years ago back in 2011! Now we know for a fact that you have seen the name The Wolverine's plastered on the production credits of some of the worlds most noticeable artists. The Wolverines produced Jennifer Armstrong's debut single "Queen Bee" as their first produced song and over the years they have been responsible for producing hit singles for artists such as Chloe, Mandy Williams, Desiree Shapiro, Chanel Devine, Suzie and most recently Austin Nimmo and much more! But unfortunately, the identity of the two very talented Londoners sort of remained a mystery for most of the years that they were active and they continue to hold a lot of weight behind the scenes, despite them both being young.
William who is the older brother, is 23 years old while the younger of the two, Roman is 21. Although in their early twenties, they have possessed enough knowledge to hold their own in a tough and ever changing music industry. Fortunately for them, its become a day in time where producers and DJ's are coming out of the booth and making a name for themselves as their own brand and name just as the solo singers and bands are doing and it seems that the Wolverines are heading down that route this year. Just earlier this month, the brothers were contacted by R&B/Pop superstar Dominic Brown to produce a record for his EP "Unrequited Love" and the Summer Break soundtrack, on a track entitled "Work It Out". The guys were very excited to produce the track for Dominic, as it was the first time they worked with Dominic so they made sure the song was ace as they take pride in all their productions. The pulsating electro house club banger showed off the duos versatility with as producers as they've produced records of all genre's, but clearly finds it at home on the house market. The song also complimented Dominic's vocal ability and versatility as an artist and his general ability to shine on an EDM record. The song, which for the first time gave The Wolverine's recognition as a featuring artist sky rocketed to the #1 position on the charts, and just like that, 3 years after they've made way to the industry they've finally seemed to getting their big break on a wider audience.
For the months or even years, the boys have been planning on breaking out from behind the scenes and creating a name for themselves on a broader spectrum and have recorded songs with intention of releasing an album some day. It seems that now would be a perfect time to do so, and The Wolverines are wasting no time on showing the world what they have as the main artist. "Little Fire" is the debut single by production duo The Wolverines and it features vocals from rock artist James Urie. The song will be released on August 12th, 2014 through the Wolverine's own record label, Wolverine Records Inc. James Urie was contacted in May of 2014 to be the main vocal on the record as the brothers were looking for a male artist who could sing the lyrics of the song in a way in which they would execute it perfectly in an emotional and empowering manner. Although it took an entire month for James Urie to respond, Urie accepted the request and they entered the studio in July to record the record and the record was birthed! Little Fire production wise has a unique written all over it. It doesn't have your regular dance beat, from the very start the unorthodoxed beat begins playing, there is a true danceability that is unparalleled in other club hits. The song also features a thick bass and elegant synths that gives the beat a sophisticated vibe. James shines vocally on this record. When the chorus hits, he jumps his vocals up into a passionate falsetto, which just takes the mood of this sexy sounding track to a whole new level of empowerment as his voice shows alot more soul and romance that we don't exactly hear on his rock tracks that he continues to churn out. This is different Urie himself, it shows that he can live outside of the rock world musically and prosper as his other abilities are clearly shown on this record.
The record was written by William, Roman and James Urie and is empowerment and overcome and as a person lays themselves down mentally, all they need is alittle to give them that spark. The inspirational lyrics can really lift someone up as James Urie coos out: I'm breaking you out, out of this hole. You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.|You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.} The song then breaks into the chorus where James Urie sings in way in which you feel as if he is singing to you in conversation with the listener. His falsetto is to the tee and the pulsating beats are sophisticated and is far from overwhelming but is perfect to dance to as well. The song stays at this pace throughout most of the record but doesn't become a boring listen as James Urie brings his vocals through the record like a true champion and The Wolverines offering a very different dance record then the ones that are currently released on radio right now.
(Fire......Fire......Fire....)
When the rain hits your face and washes your tears away,
Does it make you better?
Or only bring you down?
And when the summer starts to embrace,
Is it warm on your skin?
Or do you miss the cold ground?
I can't stand to watch you anymore,
Talking yourself down
To the point where you won't come out anymore.
I'm breaking you out, out of this hole.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
Somehow, I'll admit you're right;
Falling hard isn't always such a bad thing,
But just know, when you hit the bottom,
Things can only get better.
Enough's enough of you giving in,
There's beauty hiding under your skin.
Your heart is kind, but so cold.
I can't feel its love anymore.
It just needs a little fire, just needs a little fire.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.And when the light hits your eyes and drowns out the outside,
Do you smile and wave,
Or do you shy away?
And when your chance comes by surprise,
Do you breathe it in?
Or does it fall away?
I can't stand your worry anymore,
It's getting self-fulfilling,
You're turning into all you didn't want.
I'm getting you out, out of the mold.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
Somehow, I'll admit you're right;
Falling hard isn't always such a bad thing,
But just know, when you hit the bottom,
Things can only get better.
Enough's enough of you giving in,
There's beauty hiding under your skin.
Your heart is kind, but so cold.
I can't feel its love anymore.
It just needs a little fire, just needs a little fire.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.(You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.)
And when the rain hits your face,
Does it wash your pain away?
(You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.)
And when the summer starts to embrace,
You know you shouldn't be afraid.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
Somehow, I'll admit you're right;
Falling hard isn't always such a bad thing,
But just know, when you hit the bottom,
Things can only get better.
Enough's enough of you giving in,
There's beauty hiding under your skin.
Your heart is kind, but so cold.
I can't feel its love anymore.
It just needs a little fire, just needs a little fire.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
You just need a little fire, just need a little fire.
