It is very important to believe in yourself and listen to what the inside says. Vaidotas will talk about the "Discoteque" vocal recording session.
.
Vaidotas: The whole band decided that we will go to the contest with the song "Discoteque". That track sounded weird, but my gut told me it was THAT song.
We have been recording vocals with our sound engineer Ε aras for 12 years. He has supported us since THE ROOP was formed. This man became like an invisible member of the band and we love him very much.
So, I go to record the vocals and give him the song to listen to. The sound engineer listened several times and said: "Well, not a hit, not a hit this time, but... a good song anyway."
My heart almost jumped out of my chest. I wanted to cancel everything and tell the band members that we will not participate in the Eurovision selection. Somehow I did not do that. I took a breath. I thought that even though the sound engineer is a person I love very much, his opinion may not necessarily be correct. And my inner voice said - this is a hit!
I tried to regain my composure. It worked. I went to record vocals. So these vocals, which sound in the song, are recorded after a half-hour period from wanting to give up everything.
"Discoteque" became our biggest hit and achieved a lot internationally. The song is played on radio stations in Europe, America, Brazil, Australia and many other countries to this day.
Believe in your inner voiceπβοΈ
