Maybe (Emma Bunton song)
"Maybe" is a song recorded by English singer Emma Bunton for her second studio album, Free Me (2004). It was written by Bunton herself and Yak Bondy and produced by Mike Peden, whilst it was released as the second single from the album on 13 October 2003, by Polydor Records. It was received to moderate success on different record charts, and it entered the top forty on the majority of which it appeared on. The song contains lounge/bossa influences, and the music video was inspired by the style of Sweet Charity's "Rich Man's Frug". Bunton performed an edit of the song as her solo performance on the Return of the Spice Girls tour.
Production
The unusual inspiration behind the song was a soundtrack album of 70s German porn music; Bunton and her collaborators "found some ideas out of that". She described the process as "mad" and "hilarious", while noting the style of the finished song is reminiscent of its origins.
Music video
In the summer of 2003, a music video for "Maybe" was released. Directed by Harvey & Carolyn, the video is strongly inspired by the Rich Man's Frug scene from film Sweet Charity. Bunton began conceptualising the music video while she was in the process of writing; her inspiration was the "very sexy" stage musical Chicago. She chose to incorporate Bob Fosse's style of dancing (used in that musical) to create a "slick" and "different" work.
Disciplined Breakdown
Disciplined Breakdown is the third studio album by American post-grunge band Collective Soul. It was first released on March 11, 1997. The album was recorded during a difficult time in the band's career, when they were going through a long lawsuit with their former management, and they also recorded the album in a cabin-like studio due to lack of money.
Despite not being as successful as their past albums, Disciplined Breakdown earned Collective Soul a million-selling album (charting at #16), and produced a couple of hits, in the form of "Precious Declaration" (#1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks for four weeks) and "Listen" (#1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks for five weeks), which also charted on the Billboard Hot 100, at #65 and #72, respectively.
