Paul has worked with The Joy Formidable on previous works, but Paul heard through a mysterious grapevine that the band wanted Paul Draper to sing on [[Greyhounds in the Slips (Song)|Greyhounds in the Slips]].
According to an interview between Ritzy and an online magazine called [[Dots & Dashes]]<ref name="TJFcollaborationwithPD">{{Template:Cite/DotsAndDashesPDworkingwithTJF06122009}}</ref>

Ritzy was amongst friends and was talking about great vocalists where Ritzy exclaimed 'I fucking love Paul Draper's voice'. One thing led to another and Paul was on board to help out.
