about

Modern Desires is a conceptual presentation of torch songs that encapsulate moods and realities of adult life. There is a tone of sensuality and romance, but also of longing, change, and introspection. The music cycles through feelings that Tillman believes connect us all. Soul and sonic influences similar to those introduced on Silk Noise Reflex can be heard throughout. Tillman says, "I sought inspirations from the offerings of artists like Sade and Phil Collins. Their songs skillfully portray moods and render the mundane with iconic precision...giving us a way to express our joys and sorrows.”

Recorded at Red Bull Studios with Evan Sutton, Tillman worked with Richie Marrero, iconic bandleader, and percussionist who worked on amazing records with artists like Angela Bofil and Hector Lavoe in the '70s and '80s. Tillman says, “It was great to collaborate with friends on the songwriting— something of a first for me. I worked on 5AM with composer and producer Oliver Lewin, and collaborated with a young engineer and producer named Gabriel Pearson on Night Fire. Lose Control was a collaboration with producer Matt Rivera out of Chicago. Jeremy Lubsey over at Vlado did the master, and Beau Sorenson was back again to mix the record, making it feel like a true family affair.“
