“Saturday Night” is a swampy blues stomper about the grind of everyday life, working hard, and often feeling like you’re getting nowhere. It captures that feeling of letting go, where the struggles of everyday life fade away, even if only for one night.
Written by Lecia Louise and 8 Ball Aitken, the track was produced by 8 Ball Aitken, Lecia Louise, and Michael Flanders, with additional engineering by Rick Hollis and Jasper Jolley. The recording features guest Newcastle vocalist Justin Ngariki, along with additional guitar work from Blues Music Victoria People’s Choice Blues Legend Award recipient Shannon Bourne. The song was mixed by three-time ARIA Award winner Jeff Lang and mastered by award winning mastering engineer, Matthew Gray.
