Neel, Kaleb, and Phil in a Zoom call

Canadian singer-songwriter Kaleb Hikele joined us for the third time to talk about writing and producing the first single from his upcoming album in 2026. Download the lyrics for Slowly to follow along.

We talked about:

  • Using metaphors to tell a love song
  • How Kaleb decided to not use a capo for this song
  • Getting inspired by a Beatles riff when producing
  • Embracing the gear in the recording studio to inspire different directions for the arrangement and production
  • Is it a good idea to demo your songs at home before getting into a pro studio?
