San Francisco-based producer Scott Hansen, better known as Tycho, recently released a full-length album called Dive. The upbeat electro-pop title track was produced with optimism in mind. "A lot of this album is about lamenting something that's gone or putting things to rest," Hansen explains, "but I think this song in particular is more about emerging from the past and moving on. I definitely see it as the high-water mark on the album, a kind of emotional crescendo."

Tycho's Dive is available now, and you can download the title track for free here.

“Oh Sherrie”

Steve Perry | 1984

Steve Perry's girlfriend Sherrie Swafford was actually in the studio when Perry began writing this song--his lone Top Ten hit as a solo act--with two co-writers. The trio began at midnight one night with just "Oh, Sherrie!" and "hold on, hold on." Three hours later, they had a complete song. Swafford, however, had to wait until the next day to hear it. "Sherrie actually got tired and went to bed," Perry said. She also appeared in the video, but their relationship did not hold on for long.
