Welcome one and all to Tune-Up Thursdays, back from accidental hiatus.

I meant to come back at the beginning of the year, but business, and a water pipe bursting of an emergency forced me to postpone the return by a week.

The hiatus was accidental because all of a sudden, I didn't have enough time to fit recording sessions in. There was a point in 2021 where I decided I needed to dedicate more time to resting properly so I didn't screw up my joe job work situation. So Tune-Up Thursdays took a back seat. And each week, I had a song programmed, set to record, and each week, I had a reason why I couldn't commit. Rest assured, there will be tracks to fill out the void of 2021. I had the songs picked each week, and by jove, I'm promising to make it happen. So you'll see them sprinkled here and there over the year on a Wind-Back Wednesday/Flashback Friday/Months-Ago Monday etc... I'll catch up, and back track the postings.

HOWEVER!!! Back to January 2022. This is season 7 of Tune-Up Thursdays, and the theme this month, (and probably every January from this point on), is Redemption.

This was something I started last year during Aerhyn's Acapella Advent Calendar. I called it the "Redemption Tracks". There are a bunch of tracks that I've released over the years for Tune-Up Thursdays where I was not happy at all with the recording, be it the quality, or the rushed nature of the track, or whatever.

So every January starting this year, I will be picking a hand full of songs from the Tune-Up Thursdays archives that I want to re-do. Especially since my recording style, as well as my equipment has improved/changed over the years.

So please enjoy my first Redemption Track of January 2022: My cover of the Pentatonix version of Jessica Ware & Sampha's "Valentine", as transcribed by George Wu.

And as always, if you like what you hear, please share with your friends and family.

Side note: I love to collaborate!!! If you'd like to record a Tune-Up Thursdays track with me, just drop me a line at Aerhyn.Lau@gmail.com and we'll work on something together to record!

If you have an acapella arrangement of a song you've been working on, please share it with me and i'll do a recording of it!

I'll try my best to keep uploading #WindBackWednesday tracks, but keep up with me next week to see what I'm up to for the rest of the month!
