Bombay Bicycle Club frontman Jack Steadman has revealed that he initially felt ‘embarrassed’ when recording a track alongside Chaka Khan.The news arrives after the band recently teamed up with the music legend to create new track ‘Tekken 2’ – the latest single from their upcoming album ‘My Big Day’.Now, after dropping the new track earlier this week (October 11), the frontman has revealed in a new interview that he was briefly left red-faced when going to record the song with Khan.Speaking with The Guardian, he recalled flying to Los Angeles to go to a recording session at an upmarket studio near her home, but soon felt a bit ‘embarrassed’ when it became clear he had no intention of using any of the impressive sound equipment.“I have this funny memory of walking in and the mixing desk was the size of an entire house,” he explained. “I’d just brought my laptop and plugged Chaka into that, but I thought it was so embarrassing that I wasn’t using all this stuff.”“[I felt daunted ] until I stepped into the room,” he added. “Chaka’s family all showed up and the whole vibe was so communal and supportive.
And Chaka herself was really down to earth. I immediately felt relaxed.”As reported by the outlet, Khan wasn’t fazed at all by Steadman not using the array of equipment, and recalled that she actually “thought that was really cool.” She continued, showing her appreciation for the finished product: “I really liked the song and the message was right up my alley, in line with my philosophy.”‘Tekken 2’ is the latest song to be taken from the forthcoming album, ‘My Big Day’, which is set for release next Friday (October 20).
