So I’ve fin­ished the new song “offi­cially” I’ll have a look around at get­ting it recorded. I actu­ally think it is bet­ter than “I’m In Love”, and I thought that song was killer so this one is super killer if you get my drift.

For some funny rea­son, I’ve been writ­ing a lot of songs lately, and a cou­ple of them are get­ting some inter­est so we’ll see how that goes. We’ve iden­ti­fied how we want the album to sound, and I’ve been sent on a mis­sion to study how the Bea­t­les crafted their songs lyri­cally and struc­turally. As such, my per­sonal trainer (a self-confessed Bea­t­les fanatic) has vol­un­teered to com­pile the early happy pop works of the Bea­t­les for me to ref­er­ence in my writ­ing. Chris Stark you are the man!

So in case you are won­der­ing what this image is, I put it there to pos­si­bly high­light that inspi­ra­tion came from the most unlike­li­est of places. Now in this photo, Jessie and I found a “portable elec­tro­cuter” aka “mas­sager” and we had a ball of a time tak­ing turns elec­tro­cut­ing each other. Was this the rea­son for my song­writ­ing crazi­ness? Could be!

Finally as an update, vocals for the newest song was fin­ished last night and the song is cur­rently being mixed. I’ll shoot up a copy online for you guys to have a lis­ten to in a few days time when it comes back. Plans are also under­way to release a four-track EP but the pri­or­ity remains to com­plete this album.

On another note, one of my tracks “I’m In Love” was added to a com­pi­la­tion album released dig­i­tally called Dead Famous Vol­ume 4 — The POP Explo­sion. Now ain’t that nice!

Oh! Finally, I’ve been think­ing a lot in terms of what title the album should be, and I’m think­ing given the new direc­tion it has taken, maybe some­thing along the lines of “Bring­ing Back Hap­pi­ness”! Now all I need to do is con­sider the art­work for the album.
