Stephen Dowd Project’s Latest Release: "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It (Remix)"
Canadian songwriter Stephen Dowd, based in Ottawa, Ontario, continues to build his presence in the music scene with the release of his latest single, "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It (Remix)." As part of the Stephen Dowd Project, this dance remix marks his third release in 2024, following earlier tracks that span genres from ballads to rock.
A Diverse Journey in Songwriting
Stephen Dowd, who uses the moniker "Stephen Dowd Project" to represent his collaborative work as a songwriter, is not a vocalist himself. Instead, he channels his creative efforts into crafting songs with powerful melodies and lyrics, working with various local artists to bring his vision to life. By adding the word "Project" to his name, he highlights the collaborative nature of his music while maintaining a personal connection to each track. His logo reflects this, featuring a photo of himself encircled by his artist name in curved text.
Dowd began his 2024 music journey in May with the release of his heartfelt ballad, "You’re Beautiful To Me." This was followed in August by a rock anthem co-written with Gareth Auden-Hole, "Heaven Won’t Wait," which showcased a completely different side to his songwriting.
His latest release, however, takes yet another exciting turn—a dance remix of his track "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It." This September 2024 release is already generating buzz, bringing something fresh and energetic to Dowd’s growing catalogue.
The Story Behind "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It"
The original version of "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It" was penned entirely by Dowd, who created both the lyrics and the music. The song revolves around two students studying together, but as the story unfolds, their focus shifts from textbooks to one another. The song’s energy intensifies as the pair’s connection deepens, creating a fun and playful dynamic.
Dowd chose to integrate French into the chorus, using the phrase "Ça S’en Vient," which translates to "It’s Coming" in English. The decision to incorporate French not only added an extra layer of intrigue to the song but also allowed him to avoid repeating the English title phrase too often. It gave the song a unique charm and a blend of languages that felt natural to the storyline.
While Dowd was pleased with the final mix of the original track, he had a vision of taking it even further. He believed the song’s energy would translate beautifully into a dance remix, and after a remix session added a bouncier bass and rhythm, he was thrilled with the result. So much so, that he chose to release only the remix version for the time being.
Positive Reception and Release Strategy
Since its release in September 2024, the "(Ça S’en Vient) It’s Coming Can You Feel It (Remix)" has garnered positive feedback from listeners and music critics alike. The infectious bassline, lively rhythm, and playful lyrics have struck a chord with dance music fans. The upbeat nature of the remix has made it a strong contender for dance playlists and radio stations alike.
Dowd has also been proactive in promoting his music across streaming platforms, radio, and beyond. He has launched campaigns to have his songs reviewed for inclusion on Spotify playlists and independent record labels, demonstrating his commitment to reaching broader audiences.
Looking Ahead
