Growing Up by Higgins and hooper

[hooper]

No, not that Higgins... (not exactly...) 

Rhianna Higgins, teen daughter of James Higgins wrote this song and Oldrottenhead posted an acapella version a few weeks ago... with Rhianna singing and looking for a collaborator to provide an arrangement and instrumental backing.

Seemed like an interesting challenge and I was also impressed with the song and the clarity of the vocal.  Sounds like this young lady is off to a great start with and no wonder, growing up in a household with such a wildly prolific songwriter and musician.

Love it Ken. Am at work  right now will let Rhianna hear it tomorrow.

Fantastic, so good to hear this special song.  It seems that the jangley guitar overpowers the vocals and distracts from them slightly.  Thats my only complaint............. fantastic songwriting and singing from Miss Higgins.

Heyyyyyyy it's what we do songcrafting at its best.
Wow this is absolutely fantastic,I was going to work on the song but couldn't better this.
It's a belter of a production.
Jim will love this and so will his daughter I'm sure.
She has a great voice.
I love how you pulled back on the chorus,to be honest I was struggling with that bit and you have made it fit like a glove.
Bravo

Great collab!

You did this based on an acapella version Hooper?
That's impressive.

Rhianna has a fantastic voice. I bet she would do a hell of a "Cranberries" cover.

Very well done to all of you!
