It all began with a misheard lyric. The Kollection Music Management team, consisting of the dynamic trio - Issy, Dan, and Tori, were vibing in their home studio on a balmy summer evening in 2023. LIstening to a beat by , Tori had initially come up with the line "good love." But as they listened back, a collective realization dawned upon them.
"Good love? Nah, this feels more like... good luck!" exclaimed Dan, his eyes lighting up with inspiration.
Issy chuckled, "Well, who doesn't want a bit of good luck? Especially in Vegas..."
The idea was brilliant, but it came with its own set of challenges. The transition from "good love" to "good luck" wasn't just about changing a word. It was about reimagining the entire song. The hook, the arrangement, the lyrics - everything needed a revamp.
Tori, reflecting on her initial idea, mused, "It's amazing how a song can evolve. From love to luck. Just risk it all."
As they delved deeper into the song's creation, they decided to sprinkle in some Vegas magic. The subtle sound of a cocktail waitress asking, "Cocktails, anyone?" and the unmistakable jingle of the Buffalo slot machine were ingeniously woven into the track. These easter eggs weren't just nods to their beloved city but also added a nostalgic touch that every Vegas-goer would instantly recognize.
The song's evolution was a testament to the team's adaptability and creativity. From "good love" to "good luck," the journey was filled with laughter, brainstorming sessions, and a few "Aha!" moments.
When "good luck" was finally completed, it wasn't just another song in their repertoire. It was special. So special, in fact, that it earned a prime spot on their debut 5-song EP. A timeless track, its rhythm and lyrics promised to never go out of style.
And as the first notes of "good luck" played, somewhere in a bustling Las Vegas casino, a gambler, feeling the vibe, placed their bet, hoping for a bit of that Kollection magic.
