Sketches Vol. 1 is an EP that was created in one month as part of the Sketches Challenge.
Throughout the month of November, Xani streamed live to Twitch each Sunday improvising different songs based on different themes. The listeners were invited to contribute moods, lyrics and musical instructions which shaped the improvisations.
At the end of each stream, the listeners would vote on which track was their favourite and Xani would refine, perform, record, mix and master the selected track.
The result was this EP of four songs created through audience interaction via the Twitch chat functions.
"Cola" was the first track created in Week 1 inspired by the themes of dance music and summer time. Listeners contributed lyrics such as "summer", "bees", "hammock", "lush" and "cola".
lyrics
You're so fresh
I feel you're heat
And I feel that you're giving me the cold shoulder
Yeah you did
What a rush
You burned me good
Now babe I wanna taste your lips like cola
Yeah I wanna sip
I know how to get it
I know how to get it now
Coming over to you baby
I'm coming for you baby now
I'm coming over for cola
Yeah you know that I chose ya
Yeah you could sting me like a bee
I still want you here with me
Before the summer is over
You look lush
Feeling good
Lying in your hammock babe want me to give you a push-
Over
Yeah you are
