Always Blue is where the sound of The New Standard was created. Originally recorded at The Village Recording Studio in February 2021, I had to switch studio due to logistical reasons. I am so happy that it brought me to Millfactory and met Boe Larsen, which is truly a great engineer. The song itself was written along with Jakob Park, who understood my vision from the start. I am very grateful for his contribution, and honestly the song wouldn't have been as good without him. But the final magic happened, when Miles send me the mastered version from London. Peter and I who heard it first was totally overwhelmed. The final sound was just out of this world. I fully recognize everybody's strong contribution, but the last touches from Abbey Road took it to a different league, shaped the sound of the songs to follow, and literally set a new standard.
