Inspired by Dolly Parton, after seeing a documentary about the life of this great woman, Peter De Cuyper, lead singer of Barry White Gone Wrong, wrote the lyrics for “Heaven and Hell” on impulse!
The theme is the separation of a couple, but the song also talks about new love, doubts, and feelings of guilt caused by uncontrollable thoughts.
Composed by Barry White Gone Wrong (BWGW) and musician Tiago Albuquerque, “Heaven and Hell” was originally born from the game between the vocal line and the lead guitar, over a rhythm guitar that gives direction to the theme. To this base, musician Carlos Borges added an inspired bass line, which called upon the addition of congas and drums, resulting in something unexpected and pulling the foot into the dance.
Recorded in early 2022, at Bora-Bora Club, in Lisbon, the music video for “Heaven and Hell” is an original idea by Miguel Décio. Composer, instrumentalist, voice, and musical direction of BWGW, in this song, he also accumulates the main voice with Peter.
