Alright, alright, I know: I’ve neglected Persona music for far too long.

It was the #1 most requested new series from both the 2019 and 2020 GaMetal Song Ballots, both times having almost (and in 2020, more than) double the amount of the #2 most requested new (to GaMetal) series (Hollow Knight in ’19, and… we’ll keep this year’s under wraps for now!). To add fuel to the Persona fire, multiple songs from the series are highly requested, with 3 of them showing up in the top 15 most requested songs from this year’s ballot (all 3 tied). Life Will Change is one of those songs.

This song was requested by a GaMetal Patron (Smithy!), and upon its official reveal on Patreon, while I was talking about vocalist options, I was messaged by said Patron to consider Sapphire. I checked out her channel and was immediately blown away: I haven’t heard anyone that can match (and even exceed) the Persona vocal style in their covers as well as her, so I absolutely had to reach out to her to see if she’d be interested. Coincidentally, she was already working on a Life Will Change cover, but was still down to join in!

When I was putting this track together, I was really feeling some sort or organ solo or similar during the break part before the second verse. In one of my past conversations with Sax Dragon, who recently joined in with us in The Battle of Award 42 alongside InsaneInTheRainMusic, he had mentioned Persona being a personal favorite of his, so I asked if he also wanted to join in for some crazy aerophone soloing, to which he gladly obliged.

And that’s the story of Life Will Change, we’ll return to Persona someday!
