Teddy Thompson chats to ilikemusic.com
TEDDY: It's nice to do soundtrack things. In the modern record cycle, even if you're pumping out records at a fairly brisk pace, it still means there's a couple of years between records for the most part, so soundtracks are actually really fun to do, because it gives you something creative to do in between albums, and that's quite nice.
So, I really enjoyed doing it. The song I sing on my own on was written by the guy who did the soundtrack, and, to be honest, that was quite a weird situation, because the track was already finished and they just sent it over to me and I had to sing over the top of it, so I didn't feel like I was particularly involved in that process, which was slightly uncomfortable for me, so I wasn't thrilled by the process, but it came out well.
And then the song I did with Rufus was quite the opposite, it was quite fun and we did it all together.
ILM: What advice do you have for other musicians breaking into the industry?
TEDDY: Don't bother! No, not really… I think you've just got to have a strong will to do it in some way. It's not really something you should bother doing half-heartedly or even 98%-heartedly. If you don't really want to do it, it will be very difficult, so you'd better make sure you want to do it.
