Hello all,
The above question has always played on my mind, and I just wondered if anyone knew the answer.
On the one hand I know Richard did much selection and arranging while Karen was either A) Doing her solo stint a or B)Making preparations for her marriage. So this could have been one reason.
Or maybe it was for financial reasons. I really don't know.
From what I've read Karen was very much a part of the making of this album, from urging Rivhard to write "Because we are in love", to naming the album, to close inspection of drumming tracks.
Her influence is also present on her Drumming duties on two of the tracks. This last imput is particularly interesting to me, since on a recent BBC radio program it stated that on the solo album, she sat at Liberty Devitto's drum set and said sadly "This isn't me any more." Could it be that Karen got scared at this thought, hence ensuring she did some drumming on MIA, in effect still making herself "a drummer who sang".
Yet no "associate producer"?
Any ideas guys,
Neil
