Episode 1 • Jul 01, 2011
Ballads
Explores the production of the ballad. Rufus Wainwright (who Elton John has described as one of the greatest living songwriters) joins writer Guy Chambers (Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams and countless others) to write a ballad. Rufus and Guy get to work on their ballad. Guy plays three possible piano riffs. Rufus selects one and hums a melody over it, occasionally interspersing words. The song called "World War Three" is then beefed up with some additional orchestration.
Episode 2 • Jul 08, 2011
Breakthrough single
Guy Chambers works with super producer Mark Ronson to create what they hope to be a breakthrough single for 23 year old singer and lyricist Tawiah. Mark is described in the programme as Music's Man of the Moment, The Prince of Cool and The Phil Spector of his generation. Recent credits include Adele - one of the current most successful singers on the planet, and, rather poignantly, Amy Winehouse.
