Blood & Sweat

It's been a chaotic last few days. Dedicated my time and efforts on my album production. Finally, completed my vocal recording for 3 songs : - "Taman Cinta", "Pesona Rindu" & "Keagunganmu". I'm satisfied with the way things have gone by. Been listening to the studio rough mixes and I must say I am pleasantly surprised by the results. Been doing my recordings at Focal Pro Studios since February. Thoroughy enjoyed my sessions wif Gavin (recording engineer). He's been such a bro! But alas, exhausted my recording package already. So I took the decision to record my new songs at Greendoor Studios, home of Singapore's own talent, Sound Salvation. Enjoyed my discussions with Andry Kamsani , frontman of Sound Salvation. Hoping to learn more from him and the band as time goes by. I thoroughly enjoyed the vocal recording process. Even though I must admit that I'm pretty tense most times. Now and then...while listening to the rough mixes, I can't help but contemplate whether I could have done better with a certain phrase or a part of the song. But a decision to record always meant I had to accept that whatever I had done for the day, was the best I could possibly had done. Furthermore, taking into account that studio time is not cheap and I am not a rich man ....... I had to enforce restraint and limitation on how far I could develop each song. So after doing a couple of calculations and some simple maths, I realised that I could never possibly release my album in neither August or September. Guess I've overestimated myself as cashflow is a major problem for me at this point in time. Unless I strike it lucky at Toto or 4D the next few weeks (hahaha) , I might have to postpone the album launch to early next year perhaps. Rest assured, I'm gonna bleed and sweat for this album...just for all u guys who had been supporting me thus far.
