We had the pleasure of interviewing Wildlife Control, and here’s what they had to say:
Q: How did you create this tune? Did the tune form with the lyrics or was it something that came together in bits and pieces?
WILDLIFE CONTROL: The melody and lyrics came to me almost all at once, or sponté.
Q: What was the inspiration for “Sponté”?
WILDLIFE CONTROL: My friend Iqram and I were talking about the speed of life. We were joking around and made up this word, sponté to signify spontaneity and living in the moment.
Q: What did you enjoy the most about creating this song?
WILDLIFE CONTROL: The melody is so versatile that we went through 4 or 5 different arrangements and production styles before arriving at the recording for the single. I still enjoy playing this song in many different ways, with different instruments.
Q: How are you hoping listeners will respond to this song?
WILDLIFE CONTROL: As with any Wildlife Control song, I hope listeners connect with the melody, find themselves humming it in the middle of the day or night, and find their own meaning in the lyrics.
Q: Which artist would you say has had a significant influence on your sound?
WILDLIFE CONTROL: The Beatles. So versatile stylistically and so melodic.
Q: What would you like to say to your supporters?
WILDLIFE CONTROL: A big thank you. Connecting with people through music means everything to me. Much more music on the way.
