Hello everybody! I have exciting news...! I FINALLY mustered up the guts to release the FIRST SONG OFF MY UPCOMING 2017 ALBUM! (Finding Me), Currently EXCLUSIVE to N1M.com! It's called "Song In My Head"!! This track is a short, but spunky and energetic single bursting with fun that will give you a generous taste of the flavours my new album will bring to the table in 2017! (NOTE: exact Album release date is still unknown, but I am aiming and hoping to wrap up production by late spring 2017, and have the album locked and loaded for release by Mid-summer. That's the tentative schedule in my head anyway :P) Now there are only a select few people who know me and my music personally, and so it is not a widely-known fact that this up-coming album of mine is actually a completely self-produced labour of love. In the last year-and-half, I've harvested a hungry passion for producing, and have developed a firm grasp on the ropes of producing the instrumentation and vocal recordings for my original songs. I am using the IPAD APP version of Apples' 'GarageBand', and Last year I purchased a beautiful USB condenser microphone to help me capture clearer, more crisp vocal takes to really bring my songs to life, as I am a passionate musician who experiences fantastic joy not just from writing and producing a great song/performing, but also from simply just singing my heart out. And so, my wonderful subscribers, listeners, fellow musicians and music lovers, I am so overjoyed to share with you the first step of this whirlwind journey I've embarked on in the last year and a half- fully orchestrating my songs just as I've always imagined them, exercising complete creative freedom/control, spending countless, countless hours losing myself in the process, being involved in every aspect of production,on my own, from the lyrics to guitar/piano arrangements/melodies, to the instrumental production and vocal recordings/harmonies/back up vocals, to the mixing & mastering... beginning to end. (And when I say countless hours... I MEAN countless. 6-7 songs almost/fully complete; 5-6 in production; more to come. I've spent 18-24 hours straight on several occasions just plugging away at one song or another, if I were to guess, I've probably invested anywhere between 250-350 hours-give or take- obsessing/fussing/mixing/re-mixing/re-recording/editing/programming EVERY instrument by hand, note by note (by note by note....) on an IPad Mini screen/exporting multiple mix-tests/filling up 4-5 notebooks with diligent, crazy production notes that nobody but me can even decipher, for each song/doing the 3 speaker tests (car/home stereo & headphones) for each mix of each song to ensure total satisfaction of everything...) PHEW!! Some may think I'm loopy in the head but it'll all be worth it! Originally I was going to release the title track of the album "Finding Me" as the first album single, however, I am still tinkering with the final mix/mastering of it, and don't want to rush it. However, I also decided that because "Finding Me" is such a personal, explanation of the albums' entirety, (being the title track and all,) I wanted to save it for closer to the actual album release, and so I chose instead to set "Song In My Head" free into the social-networking-wilderness to test the waters and hopefully get some feedback and buzz starting! So without further adieu... (adieu; being in THIS case: rambling/squirrel-mode chattering/essay writing/boring you all to death etc ;P) Please (prettyprettyprettypleeeaasee!) take just 2 minutes and 10 seconds (song length) + 10-ish more seconds (length of time for loading song and putting your "music-reviewing-game-face"on) out of your day, or your tomorrow, or whenever you can spare a couple minutes, to check out this song I am sharing with you all today. It may or may not be your cup of tea, but my first response to it was from my dad, who used to produce my music, and he listened to it and put it on loop 5 times when he heard it just so he could keep listening. So whether enjoy this fun little jam or not you much, I appreciate whatever feedback you are willing to give me, and obviously appreciate all the love and support I've recieved so far from everybody! SoTHANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
