A New Chapter and A New Project.

In this new year, I plan on making a new statement to my fans and audience with my music: change. Much like what Obama has declared in his new campaign. I've already written 5 solid gold songs that are masterpieces within themselves and I'll now give you the previlage here on Blogger to be the first to hear about it.

THE NEW PROJECT
The project is titled, "In The Mix Of Things," and this time it is not a self-titled album. The first project I was working on was "The Lovely Bitterness" and i did gain some recognition for few songs on that album; in the end it was still unfinished. But now, I believe that in order to move ahead, sometimes you have to start from scratch to make things work smoother.

And so, instead of the depressing, sad and amaturish album TLB being revised, there will be a brand new work/project birthing this year.

A TOUCH OF SEXY AND A SMASH OF TRUTH
The songs that are titled for the new project In The Mix Of Things "The Dirty Song," "Nightmare," "Sea of Doom," "Alone & Waiting," and "Skin". This is so far..I plan to have a full line up of 14 songs fully composed and recorded to their best effort by the end of this year.

The Dirty Song
The Dirty Song is a song inspired to me when I was 17 and in high school. it was 2004, and I had begun turning my childish poems into real works of art, forming other works with my poetry like lyrics and melodys. In this song, I sing about the attraction of one person and how bad they affect me. Many people can level with this song because everyone has had that one person that made them melt like wax under the flame and beg for more. It's a song about the untouchable, very sexual and a matured point of view about the difficulties of composing yourself around someone so irresistable...=D. Ashley Avendano will be singing background vocals on this track and vocally, I couldn't imagine anyone else singing with me on this track.

Nightmare
When I sat down to write Nightmare I was angry with people at school, with myself for letting them bully me ( when I can most definitely defend myself), and I was hurt because they were once my friends; or at least I thought. This song starts in a tone in comparison to water just below the surface when the pot is just about to boil. It then amps up to this angry unleashing of emotions followed with a confused state in it's bridge; expressing the confusion of someone who is scared of herself and her anger. The refrain/hook is an explosion of order and sentence to destroy the enemy that creeps over your mind..the one that tells you to fall and plan revenge to on those who hurt you while in the same instance, remembering who you are and that you're not like that..you're better than them. The reason for titling this song Nightmare, is because I myself find it rather disturbing to catch myself thinking about hurting those who hurt me. And, I have an anger issue that almost needs counciling.....shhh! lol

Sea of Doom
There was a few times in mine and Ashley's awesome relationship where we weren't doing too well as a couple and as lovers....yes I'm sure EVERYONE has been to that point of receeding. In Sea of Doom, I sing about the way you feel when you lost someone vital to your existance. Yes, you can still live and breathe without them, but for a long time, you can't. Those who don't believe in love would think that's a waste of time and useless to feel like that..but for those who do believe..it's the point of no return. As much as you hate to admit it, you know you love that person and you'd go anywhere and through anything for them.

Alone & Waiting
This is a self-revolutionary song; mirroring my life and who I "was" becoming. I was forgetting everyone I loved, I was putting even just the thought of God on the backburner. My family, my friends..my love. I had a quick turn around after I wrote this song and it is a constant reminder of who I was close to becoming. I know it seems like this would be a "slow" song, put in layman's terms. But it's not so much slow. In my eyes, it's on the same tone as "Closer" is but with a bit more energy. Stronger points in the lyrics and a screaming refuge for people that can relate.

Skin
Okay...another song about seduction. This song I cannot tell you why and for what influences purged me to write this but..I can say..it's a very soul-touching song. Of course, when people use the term "soul-touching-binging-reviving" they mean in a positive and inspiring way. I mean it in a haunting, dark and seductive way. This is one work that I have been trying to achieve for a long time though I wrote it only a few months ago. I'm excited to see the reactions of people when they hear this piece =D.

Well...I hope you enjoyed my personally written previews of my next project and I hope you are intruiged and waiting to hear it. You can subscribe to this blog here on Blogger or visit my myspace url for more information and to get to know my music and my passions.

Thank you,

something undone




The cartoon was drawn by me one night at a roommate's house while we were bored and just spending time together. It's a bit emo but she found it beautiful :D She told me that she was going to make it into a video right before she posted it and when I saw it I almost cried. You see, we're not in the same place anymore..she's in Arizona and I'm in Georgia of all places. It's the ultimate myspace love story that many people have come to want...and some wanted a love like this so bad they tried to break it apart. But that's another blog.
