The song Someday<\/em> was written in early 2008. In that time recorded as a very simple demo available on Soundcloud<\/a>. Someday<\/em> was in that time written to become part of a four song EP. That EP would also contain the songs Rikki’s on a Roll<\/em>, New Girl<\/em> and Never Forget<\/em>. The idea was to turn this into a nostalgic production where each song would highlight an aspect of the golden age of the 1960’s popular music:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Someday<\/em> – Merseybeat music (the song has some reminiscens of the Beatles’ 1964 track I’ll Follow the Sun<\/a><\/em>), <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rikki’s on a Roll<\/em> – the instrumental film music, like the Batman Theme<\/a><\/em>), <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never Forget<\/em> – the fusion of jazz and pop and <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Girl<\/em> – Motown style. The original idea was to use a new ‘identity’ to release the songs, Rikki & the Rebels<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021 these songs were finalised and the original idea of the EP was abandoned. The songs will now individually be released, Someday<\/em> in September 2021, Rikki’s on a Roll<\/em> in October 2021 (under the artist name Rikki & the Rebels<\/em>) and Never Forget<\/em> in November 2021. New Girl<\/em> is still in production phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As stated before the idea was to record the songs in typical 1960’s fashion with -for example- extreme panning while emulating the typical atmosphere of these 1960’s recordings. For Someday<\/em> this idea was partially abandoned as can be heard on the final result. The original 1960’s mix -that does contain those 60’s elements- is for sale as an NFT on the Open Sea website<\/a>, the first time the music of Ewald appears as NFT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final version of Someday<\/em> is now available on streaming services like Spotify<\/a> and Apple Music. The song sounds as a combination of country rock and pop music. A lead guitar using third double notes has an important role throughout the song. After the two minutes mark the song switches in mood and has from that point a more Brazilian, jazzy feel to it, think Jobim and Sergio Mendes.<\/p>\n
