Song writing is at the core of Danielle Spencer’s new album “Calling All Magicians”. Thirteen stories of observations and experiences, precariously balanced between dark and light.
Danielle began writing songs on her piano at home in her bedroom; detaching herself from the world outside, she wrote the songs that would ultimately feature on her second album "Calling All Magicians". “It came in stages, in the sense that I was carving out little bits of time to write and record, and I then sort of felt like I’d got my musical-flow back. By the time I finished the music and the lyrics for all the songs, I realised that I’d got a bunch of songs together that I finally felt sounded like an album.”
“I knew that I wanted to make this album sound different to my last album which was quite electronic, and used a fair bit of programming. This time around I wanted it to be more of band sound and a friend suggested approaching Tony Visconti to produce it (best known for his groundbreaking work with David Bowie in the 70s).
"I’m a huge fan of his work and the way he arranges in a raw, real soundscape. I sent him 4 songs initially in demo form with just vocals and piano and was thrilled when he agreed to come on board to produce the album. For someone with such an amazing background, I couldn’t believe how much commitment and focus he brought to my project.”
"Calling All Magicians" is an album rooted in the intensely creative energies and expressions of singer songwriter musician Danielle Spencer. 1st single 'Wish I'd Been Here' out in the UK 25th October.
A TWO SHOT. Standing upright, Welham picks the boy up by his waist and painfully lifts him onto the interrogation table. Kissing him on the forehead, the former ace reaches into his pocket and pulls out his mother’s locket.
WELHAM Je taime mon cher. Bon chance. Keep this close to your heart at all times Daniel. . .me mum’s keepsake. . .she gave it to me when I was ‘bout yer size. . .pint sized to a pee wee. Take good care of her Daniel. She‘ll help you make it to the Americans. I know it.
THE LOCKET. Dangling from his hand, the locket sparkles with each and every landing MORTAR that continues to intermittently light up the cellar window.
Danielle, it has been awhile, quite awhile since I checked my MYSPACE page. OMG, I have missed a lot. That voice of your's, that one-of-a-kind voice gives me goosebumps. I am a single parent of a teenager daughter, and for her to like the same music that I do....BLOWS ME AWAY....WE NEVER AGREE ON MUSIC!!! Please keep singing and writing and take good care of your lovely family. :-)
Being a fan of your music is very easy. Waiting for the album release is hard!! The count down is finally coming. Yah! I do have one question regarding gigs, since you have a new record label. Will you only perform in England when the album is released or will include a few Australian gigs? I’m dyeing to see you perform live again. The drought has been harsh.

I like the new songs, the album should be great. You have such a wonderful voice, it has that beautiful ethereal tone that I hear with Tori Amos and Sarah MacLachlan.
I would give anything to have a beautiful voice like yours. You are so lucky! I hear a smidgen of Olivia Newton John's voice come through when you sing. She has been blessed with a pleasurable voice too. Can’t wait for the whole album.
