‘I tried to record the vocal at home during the night but my flatmate told me to shut up because she had work the next morning’
, vocals/co-writer
Once you’ve had a near-death experience, you think about what you want from life. I’d always wanted to be a singer. Breakout is about following your instincts, even if it’s pie in the sky. After I recovered, I started auditioning for bands and formed Swing Out Sister with Andy [Connell] and Martin [Jackson] after I met them sleeping on the floor of a north London squat.
For the studio version, we recruited Paul O’Duffy to produce, and the arranger Richard Niles. So we had some sophisticated arrangements with horns and strings. But I was intimidated and felt it was dishonest, because it didn’t sound like us any more. I started crying and didn’t want to sing it.
