Discography
Bio / Info
Blackman & the Butterfly are singer/songwriters from the Okanagan, in the heart of BC, Canada. Trance Blackman and The Gypsy Butterfly have collaborated to complete their first album as a duo, Strange Daze. It consists of six songs that range in style, melody and message. Both artists continue to have success individually, but since performing together for much of 2003, the need for a new album has grown.
Trance worked as co-producer on the Gypsy Butterfly's debut release, Diversity in 2002, and the two have been working together since. Their complementary styles of writing have been noticed and enjoyed by the fans that now regularly come to their shows. The new EP was practically demanded by loyal fans who have seen their live performances. So, as the saying goes "the customer is always right!"
"It's great that they like our music, but so many people kept asking when we'd have a CD of the both of us together. So, Strange Daze was born." says Blackman.
"I know this EP will reach out to many people both near and far. It's exciting to see so much interest in what we do." says the Gypsy Butterfly.
As for music and styling, the six songs of Strange Daze are diverse. The opener, which is the title song, is a pop-folk selection, while songs like "Angel of the Morning", their only cover song, is more pop-rock in feel. The album also includes "Take Me Away" and "Real Me" which are both remakes from their solo releases. Both were co-written by Blackman & the Butterfly.
"These are songs we did together. We both sing the lead on different songs, but we're both in all the songs," says Blackman.
The music is varied, the message is simple. Blackman & the Butterfly are avid believers in promoting the principles of positive living. That pattern carries over into their creative exploits, and most recently on the new EP, Strange Daze.
Songs from Strange Daze have been receiving significant airplay in the Okanagan valley. The CD is available internationally here at WP.
