The Confidence Emperors
Shaina Silver-Baird on Love Me If You Dare, the song: "I get to sing through the roller coaster ups-and-downs of falling for a new lover and the internal war between confidence and vulnerability, ego and doubt that is explosive love. It is both a challenge – love me if you dare – and a plea – would you follow me. One of the things that I love most about the song is that, just like the emotions it represents, the track takes you on an unexpected journey: musical arrangements change and double-back, breaking your expectations. It's somehow cool and fiery, groovy and experimental all at once." Shaina Silver-Baird on Love Me If You Dare, the track: "Love Me If You Dare was produced by Graham Stairs, curator for the Confidence Emperors. Recording this song felt like a breeze. Despite its challenging nature, the band including Juliana Iannuzziello on keyboards, Michelle Faehrmann on five string electric cello and Sarah Riegler on drums and percussion has been playing the song live for a while now so we already had a groove that we could sink into. The song was co-written by Martha Johnson and Mark Gane of Martha and the Muffins who had a worldwide hit in the 80's with the song Echo Beach and toured with Roxy Music."
