F14 Life's Abe readies The Prequel EP
Los Angeles, CA - Tuesday, July 29, 2014 -
Quick Summary
The release of F14's latest EP, The Prequel, showcases a more upbeat and introspective side of Abe Alem than his prior project, February. Produced by Wayne Valentine, the 7 tracks reflect fun moments and personal ambitions, while tackling themes of independence and teamwork. Abe will perform singles from the EP in Kansas City soon, as F14 continues to build their momentum and engage local communities through music and their web series, F14 Life.
Produced by the other half of F14, Wayne Valentine, "The Prequel" features southern influences with a splash of post modern sounds. It is a stark contrast from Abe's previous project, "February", which was rooted in the moments of his love life of past and present relationships with women leading up to the point of its release in February 2014, thus the title, "February".
"In The Prequel, I captured the moments in my life where I had fun," says Abe. "And the moments where I needed to vent my frustrations and some of my ambitions up to the point of the project's release."
Each track has its own special message and produced accordingly by Wayne Valentine, also an emerging musician and audio engineer. In the tracks, "Too Deep", Abe touches on not needing extra people on the team, and in "Quality," he reiterates the point. He adds, "By using our intelligence, we compensate for the lack of extra worker bees that other teams have."
