British singer/sonwriter Chris Ward and his alter ego Tropics continue to shape their adventurous idea of contemporary soul pop that takes traditional sounds and puts them into the hear and now. And that might also result in being inspired by a French movie soundtrack from the 1970s.
Ahead of the forthcoming release of their debut '925', we met up with Sorry's Asha Lorenz. The band's lead opened up on the random nature of songwriting, how each track on the album is rooted in another emotion and elaborated on the means of painting a picture with music. Well, we did not quite manage to match a colour to the individual songs, but it nevertheless brightened up our understanding of the act.
