So to appease my "not so pop side" I decided several years ago to create a side project that would feature various artists that I work with on a more commercial level. I didn't have a personal interest in performing these songs in a live scenario, but felt it might just be a fun thing to do with some cool people. If they wanna play them live then so be it. So the resulting endeavor is called The Majestic Twelve. No they're aren't twelve of us. I just thought it was a cool name. (Look up MJ-12 or Majestic Twelve)
Many of these songs will pop up from time to time. This is a tune called "Carte Blanche". I originally wrote it in 2004, but never felt compelled to pursue it further until a couple of years ago. Alex Mercier took a liking to the song. He and I collaborated on the lyrics and voila!! A song! Alex cut the vocals pretty quickly. It was really quite painless and pretty fun.
This project is probably "hit/miss", but you never know until you "run it up the flagpole and see who salutes".
