Adrian about Better Days (Credit Smith Kotzen website)

’Better Days' is a song I’m really excited about. I think its slightly different to the songs on the Smith/Kotzen album – it’s kind of heavy but melodic. I’d played Richie the riff and I was looking for a reaction, and I got one! Kind of like the old grey whistle test scenario – there was a spark and we started building the song from there. I’d have an idea, then Richie would have an idea and we’d go back and forth, like building blocks.”

track listing is:

Better Days

Got A Hold On Me

Hate And Love

Rise Again

The final two songs on the EP were recorded at Windermere on Turks & Caicos Islands in March 2020. *Better Days *and *Got A Hold On Me *followed at The House recording studio in Los Angeles in April 2021 when Smith/Kotzen were finally able to reconvene after lockdown and to shoot an accompanying video for the title track. As with the Smith/Kotzen album, the EP was produced by Richie and Adrian, and mixed by Kevin Shirley. The *Better Days *video was filmed at Mates studio in Los Angeles and was directed by Jeff Wolfe, who successfully combined an action career onscreen with an award-winning director’s role behind camera.
