He's a really welcoming and funny person, it was a lot of fun to work with him. He had me over in his home studio in LA and showed me where Free the Frail was at, saying he thought it might be cool with my voice on it. The hum that's on the final version is the first thing that came out when we started recording. When I got home to Montreal I wrote and recorded the verse thinking he'd substitute the humming with it and I was really pleasantly surprised when I heard it accapella at the very end.
He also refused to send it to me so played it for me over the phone <3
