“I collaborated with producer Scott Jacoby (Coldplay, Vampire Weekend, Sia) on the "Shine Like the Sun " (Reggae Mix). Scott and Michael Goldwasser (Jason Mraz, Easy Star All-Stars, Janelle Monae) recorded a live in-studio session with a reggae rhythm section utilizing a unique piece of recording gear called Zulu, an all-analog tape simulator built to give digital recordings the depth, life, and dynamism of magnetic tape. To make the original stems of "Shine" fit with the reggae groove, we pitch-shifted and sped up the vocals. We were going for an old-school reggae sound like Bob Marley records from the early 70's.” – Pete Francis
