Umbrella - Commentary Duncan Laurence

[Spoken Word]
"Umbrella" might be one of my favourite tracks on the album. In the early stage of quarantine, I made a life-changing choice, by deciding to start producing songs myself. Songs like "Umbrella", "Sleeping On The Phone", "Figure It Out", were a couple of my first creations, as not only a songwriter and a singer, but also a producer. I can't describe the feeling I get whenever I listen to "Umbrella", I'm just so proud. But at the same time, I feel so free. Free because I know, as an artist who produces his own tracks, I can really tell the story that I want to tell in a song. Not only through lyrics, not only through melody, but through the whole, entire song. Every single instrument, soundscape, every effect, it's all me. And that's what I love about producing my own tracks. That's what I love about "Umbrella".
