Jay Sean chats to I Like Music


ILM: Your new album heavily focuses on the songs. Please can you describe the JAY SEAN music making process? Lyrics or melodies first?

JAY: Usually what will happen is I'll go to the producer and he'll show me a selection of backing tracks and, if it evokes anything in me, I'll work with it. From the onset I'll know what kind of song I want to write because it puts me in a mood. And from that I'll go with whatever do and I always hum out a melody first and in the melody I'm sometimes fortunate enough while I'm coming up with the melody to come up with the lyric at the same time, and that's when you know it's meant to be. For example, when I came up with Ride It, it was exactly as I was humming it, I sang 'Ride It' as I was humming it and kept it as Ride It and wrote a song. It's just got to feel organic man. If I take too long to put a lyric or melody down I know it's not meant to be, so if it's not working, I scrap it straight away.
