Through contacts at Carnival Music, David Lafleche met Mando Saenz, a writer from Texas. Marie had done much of the writing for Everyday Son when we met Mando. As if in a therapy session, I would be pouring my heart out to a stranger, and at certain moments, after a long pause, Mando would answer, so what you mean is... and his sentence explained exactly what I felt, with the right choice of words and emotions, explains David Lafleche.
Again through Carnival Publishing in Nashville, I was lucky enough to meet Derik Hultquist, a comedian; a dynamic guy, full of energy. We collaborated on several songs and, once again, I had someone who could pinpoint the words I was looking for while sharing parts of my life. Several songs on the album came from this collaboration; intense songs about depression and death, but joyful ones as well about love and memories of childhood, he continues.
When he returned from Nashville, life took its course… Gisèle entered the couple's life and projects began to take a little longer to be completed. It wasn’t until 2019 that David approached Connor Seidel to produce and put the finishing touches on the songs that would become Everyday Son. With the instrumentals already recorded in Nashville, David found his voice and the right tone, and they pulled together, mixed, and produced the album. Connor brought so much to this album. His ability to listen, be patient and trust gave me the space to find the best of myself, says David. The album was mixed by Joe Costa at Sound Emporium Studios (Nashville) and mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound (Nashville).
Everyday Son marks a new chapter in the life of David Lafleche; a predestined step for one who follows in the footsteps of his musical family: a composer father who became an orchestra conductor, and a mother who was a Miladys and backup singer. The title of the album, Everyday Son, is an ode to the source and foundation of David’s creative life: a loving mother that supported her son in every way as he pursued his passion.
Everyday Son will be available tomorrow on all platforms, in digital version only.
