Many moons ago Mr. Dean Jones, the brains behind the Whodeani brand, was a popular Melbourne DJ who dabbled in writing and producing music. He even had a hit song on the Australian Dance Music charts titled Deuce by Cleva Cleva.
Fast track to 2009 when Dean gets an itch he just can’t ignore, not the type he needed a doctor for (or exotic creams), but the type he scratched and in return creatively came alive again.
It is fair to say Dean is Twitter obsessed, true story. But so much so that he wrote a Twitter Song (or at least one loosely about the hugely popular social media platform)? Well the story goes a little something like this.
Back in time around1995 Dean and a couple of friends wrote a song called ‘Release Me’.
Written by Dean Jones, Ivan Gough and Michelle Palmer in the mid 90’s and recorded with several other tracks on a demo CD put together by a female dance/pop group called Motional (which also included Michelle Palmer whom would eventually move on to bigger and better things with her current act, Slinkee Minx.)
On a recent reason trip to Bali this song popped into his head and instead of hearing ‘Release Me’ he heard ‘Tweet Me’ (It helped that one of the lines from the original song was ‘I will follow you…’.) Mmmm….. Simply the effects of too much Twitter time or could it be a hit in the making?
Dean re-worked the music to bring it from the mid 90’s into today and then engaged the services of professional music producer Mark Rachelle to further work the music, record it professionally and master the final mixes.
The ‘Tweet Me’ Song is an up-tempo dance number that combines current progressive trance sounds with radio friendly pop sensibilities and catchy lyrics that will have you singing along in no time.
