Our new album's called "In This Together,"
and I really can't think of a better way to summarize
the whole project.
Accent is a group of guys who
met on the Internet, which is a pretty crazy idea.
We're coming together across many places
with many challenges to make this work,
but it also has a different meaning, which is that
we recorded it together, which was new for us.
Andrew: I'd say our first album was pretty safe,
and it was also put together with
whatever songs and arrangements that we had.
But now, we really kind of know, like, "hey,
we have this covered; let's try and figure out
what our sound is."
James: We are attempting to try and fuse some more
genres together. There's a very strong artistic vision.
The songs on this album are all original;
either written by people in the band
or very close songwriting friends of the band.
So they're songs that people have never heard before.
♪ You see love... ♪
Simon: Siedah Garrett, who has written songs
for Michael Jackson. Mervyn Warren and Mark Kibble,
two of the original Take 6 members...
Pretty amazing.
So no one's gonna be saying,
"This is an a cappella version of this song."
It's like, no, this is the original version.
We rehearsed, recorded, produced the whole thing
in two weeks, and it really kinda captures
a moment in time for us
because it really is, you know,
the way that we were sounding at that time.
We could decide, like, anything—
dynamics or some phrasing...
we could really talk and try things on the go.
Simon: Small, detailed stuff that you don't really think of
when recording by yourself.
How you sing a word, or like, form your mouths together
just by being able to look or have the other guys
in the same room.
James: There's a sense of sonic unity because of that.
♪ Love is just that way ♪
The guys are warming up right now.
Let me just flip this around...I'll take you guys in
so you can see what's happening! Yeah!
(♪ funny warm up ♪)
Just practicing range exercises.
Higher!
Danny: I think my favorite memory of recording
this album was just the fact that we were all
living in the same living room.
There were, like, 6 beds,
and some of them were more comfortable than others,
so each night, we would be like, "Well,
I guess you deserve to sleep on this
inflatable mattress this night."
Simon: This time it was very intense, you know,
working every day. Usually we're more, like,
relaxed, maybe, and this was very much, you know,
"doot doot doot."
We built this big poster board
that was used for helping us track the progress
of the record so once we finished, you know,
the bass for a song, we'd do a check mark,
but instead of a check mark, we'd have to draw in, like,
a really funny illustration.
Andrew: All right, we have just finished recording some
of the stuff for our first song.
That's not the song, James!
James: Oh, no!
(group laughter)
Oh, I thought it was in order!
JB: Epic fail!
Andrew: No, now we've done more than we think we have.
(♪ singing a whole tone scale ♪)
JB: Accent does vocal jazz harmony,
but we apply this style in pop songs as well.
Andrew: I don't have a problem saying we're
a jazz group; However, sometimes I feel the general
population, when they say "jazz," you immediately
think of, like, swing (mimicking hi-hat cymbal)
and, like, something from the 40s and 50s.
The story of jazz is always growing and developing,
and we are part of that story.
JB: If we would do the same thing as many groups,
then we would be nobody, maybe. So since we are
pretty unique—(with French pronunciation) unique—
that's a French word...(laughs)
it gives us, like, a specialty.
Danny: We want to become better as musicians
so that every time people hear us
they can hear, Wow, this group sounds really different,
but they're also so incredibly good at their instruments.
♪ One love, and I know that it can be ♪
♪ Everything we dream of... ♪
Andrew: I would say Accent is
the happiest of accidents.
James: It's this uniquely international, 6-part,
jazz a cappella group which has
6 people from 5 different countries.
Evan: If we can get people to take those couple
extra seconds to then learn a little bit about
how we got together, that's just really fascinating
and I think heartwarming for most people to see that
music truly does bring people together.
There's really no better example of that than our group.
The dream is definitely to be doing this full-time,
and constantly.
Evan: Right now everybody kind of comes together,
and then, we go back to our respective homes
in our countries.
JB: We don't talk a lot about this, but it's just like
we have a lot of projects in mind.
And it feels like we're still growing very fast.
We've come together and we are going to continue
making this music. If people want to explore
new music, which, I think millions of people in the world
do want to do, I think ours is an excellent place
to just have an experience.
So...
...that's us in a nutshell.

♪ perfectly, that one and only love... ♪
