This Is How I Let You Down


The album was produced by The Franklin Electric's lead vocalist/piano/trumpeter and songwriter Jon Matte. He worked alongside award-winning mixing engineer Rob Heaney for an almost - live approach to the recordings, Jon's stellar song writing guides the eleven tracks with a confident brass section and strong harmonies there to add melodic support, the songs were then mixed by Grammy winner Chris Shaw allowing the sonic beauty of the songs to shine.
