Ringo starr zoom in2/26/2023 And we are all making the same plans – I’ll see you after the pandemic!” I love living in LA because so many fine musicians live here and you can do collaborations like this. For this record, I wanted to get people I hadn’t worked with before, so for this track we invited Robby Krieger. So I wanted to call this ‘Zoom In,’ which I think is great for this day and age. Ringo recalls, “Zoom In is all we do, if we do anything, these days during the pandemic. The title track, “Zoom In, Zoom Out,” was penned by Jeff Silbar and features Robbie Krieger on guitar. We wanted to add a lot of voices singing on the chorus and so she asked her friends and I asked mine, and not only did we get a lot of people singing on the record, we had a lot of fun, which is how I think it should be, and I got to know a few new friends.” She sent it in a chord I like to call F demented, it was veryhigh, so Benmont Tench transposed it into a key human beings can actually sing – that’s how we started with that song. As Ringo recalled, “Diane sent me this song – she sent two actually – and I loved the sentiment of it. Joining Starr were musicians Nathan East (bass), Steve Lukather (guitar), Bruce Sugar (synth guitar), Benmont Tench (piano), Charlie Bisharat (violin), Jacob Braun (cello), and Jim Cox (string arrangements and synth strings).ĭave Grohl, Ben Harper and Jenny Lewis also joined Starr in the home studio, and all contributed to the first single, Here’s To The Nights. “It just unfolds,” Ringo said of the recording process, “when I start making a record here in LA at home – somebody knocks on the door, or I reach out and ask someone if they want you to come play, it’s like magic really how it all comes together.” Starr collaborated with songwriters and producers, and an ever-widening group of musicians playing on the songs, some socially distanced and joining him safely in his studio, always exercising an abundance of caution, and others working on their parts remotely.Īs often happens in the recording process, the circle of friends grew to include friends of friends and created something that has a unique chemistry. Ringo released his EP titled, Zoom In, which features 5 songs all of which were recorded at Starr’s home studio between April-October 2020. Ringo Starr – Photo credit: Scott Robert Ritchie
