I hope so, not because I like the music but doing so allows the drive to burn off some of his stress.

Also funny how the article doesnt mention Alguersuari's album.

It's good to have a hobby. At least his hobby doesn't carry the risk of breaking a leg.

Good for Lewis! I just hope his music isn't as lame as Jacques Villeneuve's
My daughter is a recording engineer for Capitol, and only a serious artist or someone with a lot of snaps* can afford to get it mixed and taken to true studio quality.

I heard Alguesuaris Dance mix was crap. Anybody ever heard it before?

I think Lewis record might be more instrumental than singing... I hope

Jezus h christ! That sounds like something out of Super Fly with
Curtis Mayfield totally on acid.(and not in a good way
And whats with the magic finger thing at the start? Has he confused hiself with Vettel?

At least Jaime has a talent ( It may not be to your taste, but to make it from scratch takes a lot of time and effort ) and does this because he's passionate about it.

I expect Lewis is doing it because he wants to be a rapper livin it up in LA, look at his manager. It'll be tripe and hopefully get torn apart by the press, so Lewis can do his job.

It sucks scro! BTW I do know something about recording as I stated earlier in this thread. Every single sound on that cut was synthetically produced on a key bard including the drums, with the exception of his muttering and the piano/organ
We called that crap in the 1960’s JMHObro
But I like JA as a racer, and don't have any problem with him doing this.
As R. Leeds said it's a good hobby, and probably won’t hurt himself doing it.
If he is down with it that is all that matters. I played around a little with “Pro Tools”, and if you have any interest in recording music it is really fun

I also have experience of recording music, and whilst it's true that many of JA's sounds are electronics, it's not as simple as 'playing it in on a keyboard', if that was all there was to it, everyone would be a musician no?

I do a bit of DJ'ing from time to time, nothing serious, all though I wouldn't say no to doing it at house parties or something like that, and it's certainly good fun!

I just think Ham's 'album' will be tripe, because I know it will be, and also because he quite clearly has no passion or talent, unlike JA, and is only in it for the monies, he should really stick to racing.

Remember this? The recording may actually surprise us. Also, much better way to push out tensions (than a high risk adrenaline rush)- by doing something that is, perhaps, the antithesis of racing.

He said it will be R and B, so there is a little wiggle room in terms of whether he mixes rap with it.
You really have to be able to sing if you do R and B. (unless it is only instrumental) as Snikle has suggested.
I agree with the part of your post quoted.
And Jaime actually has some work out there. I don't care for it too terribly much.
However you are right he is serious about it.
If you read the article on the first link of this thread you would have read:

Lewis Hamilton has been busy recording R&B music, in a recording studio that has also been used by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue. However, the music that he has recorded is not intended for commercial release but only for the racing driver's own amusement. According to the report, Hamilton had hired out the entirety of the expensive recording complex to ensure that nobody saw him and leaked the news to the press.

I don't think he has real aspirations in recording for fame or fortune, so it has come back to being a hobby. If that is the case there is no reason to compare him with JA.
