Re-issue: Vagabon - Water Me Down

Published: June 26, 2024, 3:40 p.m.

Last year, Vagabon released her third album, Sorry I Haven\u2019t Called, which I\u2019ve been listening to a lot. So I wanted to revisit an episode that I recorded with her back in 2020, about her breakout song "Water Me Down." The episode also features the voice of Eric Littmann, who co-produced the track. He passed away in June 2021, way too young. Vagabon\u2019s new album is dedicated to him. If you haven\u2019t heard this episode before, I hope you like it.\xa0

When Laetitia Tamko started making the second Vagabon album, she really wanted to produce the entire thing on her own. It would be a new sound, and producing was still a relatively new skill to her, but she wanted to tackle it head on, and do it all herself. On this song, though, "Water Me Down," Laetitia actually has a co-producer, Eric Littmann. It\u2019s the one exception to her otherwise entirely self-produced album. In this episode, she breaks down how she and Eric made the song, and why it was worth making that exception.\xa0
