Blak Twang Chats To ilikemusic

ILM: How do you go about writing your lyrics? Do you have a set technique?

Blak Twang: I tended to write in the middle of the night. Three or four in the morning was when I produced a lot of my best work. But then, you know, having kids it doesn't work that way any more! I need to be up in the morning. Right now the middle of the day is when I write a lot of my stuff, when I have time to reflect.

One of the first tracks from the album that I wrote was 96. That was the year that a lot of people started to know about me, I won a MOBO award, I had a new album. That track set the tone for the rest of the album. It brought up a lot of memories that I then began to write about. Since 2005 and my last album, so many things have happened in my life, on a personal level and on a business level. From my previous label going bankrupt without me even knowing about it, being in dangerous situations on a personal level, losing family members, as well as some of the things that have been going on around the UK and around London with gun crime. I just put my thoughts onto paper. I don't have a method, I just get into that frame of mind and then write.
