Emile Haynie broke into the music industry with sample-based rap productions and broadened his reach as a producer and songwriter of large-scale mainstream pop from the likes of Kanye West, Bruno Mars, Drake, Eminem, Kid Cudi, Lana Del Ray, and FKA twigs. The producer eventually signed to Interscope as a solo artist and recorded his debut, We Fall, during the first half of 2014 while holed up in a room at Los Angeles' Chateau Marmont. Inspired by the end of an intense romantic relationship, Haynie made the album with help from dozens of fellow musicians across generations, such as Randy Newman, Brian Wilson, Colin Blunstone, Annie Clark, and several previous collaborators. ~ Andy Kellman
