Nottingham songwriter making waves across the airwaves

Nottingham songwriter Tracey Ball is making waves across the airwaves with her track 'Into You'.

Originally released in 2022, 'Into You; has been remixed and produced by Steve 'Smiley' Barnard. With a new fresher sound, 'Into You' is already being played out on radio stations across the United Kingdom and around the world, reaching Gibraltar, Spain and Australia.

'Smiley' is a professional drummer who drums for the Welsh rock band The Alarm, and alongside this 'Smiley' also produces tracks at his 'Sunshine Corner Studios'.

Tracey, from Bulwell, said '' When I originally released 'Into You' in 2022 it was well received by radios, even though it was only a demo. I lost count of the radio's that played it but it was well over a hundred and the song was also featured on BBC Introducing Music for the East Midlands.

'Smiley' has previously produced another track written by Tracey, called 'Now I Don't Have You' which was recorded and released in January by internet comedy star Stevie Riks.

Tracey added, After 'Smiley' produced 'Now I Don't Have You' I thought it would be a good idea to get him to remix 'Into You' so I could re-release it. I had noticed along my journey that other bands and artists re-release the same song again so I thought, why not do the same for 'Into You'

The radio's love the remix, 'Dave Starr' from KFM Radio said '' Love the sound of this and will certainly play it on my shows on KFM''

Tracey said, I only started the radio pitch on the 3rd June and within a week 'Into You' has been picked up by over 40 stations, the work will continue now to get it played on as many stations as possible.
