Studio Diary #16: Electricalifornia

Hey, guess what???   The album art and everything is complete and it all looks super freakin cool!    it's soo 80's/90's rave that it makes me so happy!!!      i guess everything is complete and ready to go for midnight on August 1.    Working on the "Radio Radio" artwork and release stuff.     I look back on this journey and this record and i'll admit it was challenging, but really really super fun.  i think it does a great job of showing a lot of different sides of me and i'm proud of this project.    can't wait for release!!!!!!

Studio Diary #15: Electricalifornia (Track list!)

had a pre-listening party last night with glow sticks and blacklights and finally, drinks.   lots of pics were taken and allison did her vocals for 'radio radio' which i can say will be the next single!  

all that's left is editing and choosing the artwork and completing the liner notes.    a physical release will come later but the record will be released on august 1, as planned.   a long road on the way to 'electricalifornia' but i'm so glad and proud that we are here.    the final tracklisting for the record is as follows...

1) Closer
2) Beautiful 2nite
3) Forgive U, Forget U
4) Electricalifornia
5) The Cool Kids
6) Trust
7) Run Away
8) Radio Radio (Feat Allison Grey)
9) Parade
10) Peter Pan

as we turn the final lap to release date (3 more days!) enjoy "closer."   because we are, much more than we ever thought we'd be at some times during this session!!

Studio Diary #13: Electricalifornia

7 songs recorded so far for the record.   there will be a total of 10, although there's another one that's trying to push it's way onto the record, so we'll see.   i could keep on going tonight but it's hella late so the next song is gonna have to wait for tomorrow....    pushing hard for an august 1 release as i'm watching myself slip slowly past the original release date of this week...     no worries, i never been a cool kid, baby =)

Studio Diary #12: Electricalifornia

big night in the studio!   laid down 2 tracks tonight =)   i would say the record is just under half complete.   a good word to express what i'm hearing is INTENSE.   one of the songs i didn't even think would make the record has turned into a favorite so far....  

anyway, that's all 4 now.    'eyes a little too wide.'

3rd song recorded for record.   makin me feel like this is all worth the wait!

Studio Diary #10: Electricalifornia

I have i believe 2 complete tracks for the record.   Working on the music and melodies for the other songs.   2 of them are head 2 head if they're making the record or not, and as is tradition when i'm recording, a new song has come out which i believe is going to be the final track on the record.    i know it is taking me a long time but i'm pretty serious about this bunch of tunes.    meanwhile, 'closer' has been burning up soundlick and i'm proud to have it out there.....   i gotta go, i'm busy in the studio haha!

LEAD SINGLE "CLOSER" RELEASED!!!!!!!!!!!

Still in the studio tonight working on "Electricalifornia" but the era begins with the lead single "Closer."  A few days ahead of time, this one just didn't want to wait!!!!!!!   Listen  above!    Excited to share!
