Introducing Ian McDaniel, a multi-talented musician, producer and engineer, reveals his newest single ‘Baby Don’t Go Too Far’, which encapsulates the essence of love, self-discovery, and spiritual connection. With a passion for music that began in his childhood and evolved into a full-fledged career, Ian creates music that serves as a conduit for his deepest emotions and his religion.
In ‘Baby Don’t Go Too Far,’ Ian’s influences encompass an eclectic array of artists, from J Dilla and Flying Lotus to Prince and System of a Down. The single was crafted in collaboration with friend and collaborator Michael Mattice, who contributed his unique synth and guitar expertise. Ian’s studio, his creative haven, serves as the birthplace of this soulful masterpiece, where the enchanting blend of classic R&B vibes, lush synth layers, and heartfelt vocals creates an immersive experience.
This release stands as a reminder of the timeless sounds that resonated from the 80s, as Ian channels his inspiration through the iconic Roland TR 707 drum machine and his Ensoniq SQ80 synth. As the soothing melodies intertwine with Ian’s poignant lyrics, ‘Baby Don’t Go Too Far’ becomes an invitation to embrace the boundless love that surrounds us and never lose sight of what truly matters.
