On Friday May 1st Voltage will release a new album, entitled 'It's About Time'. It is the third full album that the band will release under the leadership of frontman Dave Vermeulen. On February 14th the band already lifted the tip of the veil with the first track 'One More High To Survive The Low'. On March 6th the new single 'Wild and Blue' was released, which immediately became Radio 2 TopSong!
'It's About Time' was recorded at Uncle Gabe's Sound studio in Eindhoven and is a co-production of Voltage and producer Gabriel Peeters. Dave felt it was time to go back to where his love for music once began: the four of us in a room, recording live, press 'record' and working with the best take. As a contrast to what is happening in the mainstream world, fast music that scores easily. The eleven songs were recorded in just six days. Dave: “The record is 90% played live. After we did the Tom Petty tour, we recorded a few tracks that way and it sounded good. We wanted that live vibe now as well. We did about four takes per track. Of course, that puts a certain amount of pressure on yourself, but that is exactly why everyone went into the studio very sharp and focused and that brought out the best in all of us.”
The theme of the record is being honest, staying true to yourself and telling beautiful stories. That becomes clear right away in the opening track of the album. The lyrics of 'The Last Time' are about how no one can stop you from doing what you want and the way you want to do it. It is almost a concept album about staying true to yourself and continuing on the path you have mapped out for yourself. "A lot of people think I am a weirdo and ask me why I play this kind of music because it is not really appreciated. By being very critical of what we make and who we work with, we prove that we can also touch and entertain people with this kind of music. This is what I do, and I am proud of it," says Dave Vermeulen.
This ties in perfectly with the way we got to know Dave as a participant in The Voice of Holland (2016), where he came in second. Dave also did his own thing there and fought for his place within the program. Dave: “There is nothing wrong with being mainstream, but it is not my way of making music. I do want to show that the genre we play with the band can also reach a larger audience, but still moves in the shadow of the contemporary mainstream. I have learned to fight for my place, to stay strong and to believe in myself. That is what I got out of it. What you see is what you get.”
