A New Year Will Bring A New Album
I’ve been singing and playing music for as long as I can remember. There was nothing else I ever wanted to be or do.2008 will see the release of my new full length album which I'm currently recording. This album is proving to be a very creatively rewarding experience. When I released my EP "I'm Alive" in 2006, I was so anxious about everything. I was uber critical about myself, my songs, my arrangements and spent my time worrying about comparisons.Then it dawned on me.I'm actually not like anyone else.In the past, I saw this as a negative trait and found it difficult to overcome, but the past few years have enlightened me, and now, I think this is a very good thing. This time around I have a new ease about my ability - I'm trying to not be so harsh on myself (it's that classical background haunting me!) - and in the end, the only thing that matters is that I feel I've done my best musically. That's why I'm quite happy to sit back and let everything evolve into whatever it will be.This album touches on some of my dearest subjects. Lust, love lost (or never had), love gained, self realisation, growing up or at least trying to. There are tinges of bitterness, self deprecation, humour, regret and slightly inflated (yet fragile) ego. Much like me. It's the "Life" concept album (lol) and the logical step on from the "I'm Alive" ep!Musically, it's very passionate, a bit funky, bass driven and heavy on the glamaphonic (see definition above)... Check out the sneak peeks (first drafts) in my music player for a taste of what's to come.Anne-Lise :)
