\u201cGiving Up The Ghost\u201d is a poignant, atmospheric, groove-laden, ballad that draws on personal moments creating an emotional and raw experience for listeners. Written by Wright and co-produced with film composer, Tim Janssens, \u201cGiving Up The Ghost\u201d features the sultry smooth vocals of Indi artist Whitney Tai. Wright also brought in Rod Stewart\/ Billy Idol drummer Tal Bergman, jazz\/fusion great Allen Hinds to play lead guitar, Flamenco guitarist Luis Villegas, contemporary jazz\/prog keyboardist Ed Roth (known for his work with the Keith Emerson Band and The Doors\u2019 Robby Krieger), Macy Gray percussionist Scott Breadman, and guitarist\/ producer Tom Hatziemanouel.

The accompanying video was filmed at Strawhorse recording studios in Van Nuys, California. Vocalist Whitney Tai falls into a dream state while reading in the control room, creating a haunting visual narrative as the musicians play on. The hourglass spent centuries as the representation of mortality and plays a key role here reminding us to let go of the past and move on, hence the title, \u201cGiving Up The Ghost\u201d.\u00a0
