Fiddling fiddlers!

Hello wonderful ones!

OK, so yet again I’ve been a bit on the busy side … new job and all the crazy shenanigans that that entails!

So, down to business, I shall bless you with a new choon! Lucky you!!! I’m sure you’ve been eagerly awaiting … checking your inbox every 5 minutes for the next communication from me! Ahem… fair enough … maybe not!

Anyway, let’s not beat around the bush any further, let me present you with:

Fiddly Fidelity.mp3

Quite a dark little number, but of course, I like it … or it wouldn’t be here!

I hope you enjoy it too!

Oh, and just before I go, I suppose I ought to explain the pic ... sorting out that mammoth pile of cables is my idea of one fiddly job ... so there you have it ... the big link!

Laters gaters.

Singing the VERY HEAVY truth!

OK, so the time came for good old 'Sing the truth' to get another look in and some proper production. Lots of the words have gone (which is a good thing ... really, I must appologise for feeling that I need to explain absolutely everything in every song)! I'm working on being more concise and all that unneccessary over-engineering of everything that I do. I like to consider myself methodical and very thorough, but really, even I can admit that there's just no need for so much (she says whaffling away)! LOL

MF has always been very keen (since he met me) to hold a gun to my head in a video ... which was how we got talking in the first place. We haven't done that video yet, we're trying to work out the logistics 'n wot not, but yeah it'll be something like that ... and I'll have to do my best at looking absolutely terrified whilst being forced to 'Sing the truth' by the crazy man with the gun. I wonder how long I'll be able to keep a straight face for! Hee hee, so, yeah it all sounds like fun to me! :0)

In a nutshell, this song is concise, heavy, quick, quirky, dirty, experimental with nice squawky bits randomly thrown in for good measure and fairly intense ... there's a lot going on there ... erm, not sure if I'm selling this choon in well, but it's always difficult to describe. Well, I love it ... have a listen and let me know your thoughts!

Thanks,

BTW - Nice one, MF :0)

Why don't you make a promise to me?

I'm totally in love with this tune ... it just feels like it has so much depth and is so rich. I think Michael needs to take the credit for that.

Turns out that song creating doesn't actually need to be a painful process :0) This song is very real for me ... it's amazing how an argument can help get pen to paper!

I hope you enjoy it!

Hey folkaroonies, did I tell you that I loved you?

We've made a little dance track that will hopefully inspire you all out there to dirty dance the night away, whilst mouthing the lyrics to your partner on the dance floor enough times that they eventually get the message and fall hopelessly in love with you, and it'd all be down to the magical moment that this song helped create ... Ok, maybe that's a bit soppy / going off on a tangent or way over the top, yeah, yeah, I know, whateva ... I just hope you like it ;0)

The song is called
'I Said I Love You One Time.mp3' and as always, comments are welcome.

Singing the truth!

This is one of the first products of the Michael Forrest / Lina collaboration ... well kind of in collaboration - more like me singing over Michael's instrumental using LOTS of words (way more than would usually be tolerated in any song that has his name against it! ;0) Honestly speaking, at the time I was kind of trying to woo MF into helping me produce something cool, something musically cool.

Anyway, this song was recorded quite late at night with my neighbours banging down, getting upset ... so naturally, I turned all the knobs available down and sang really quietly... and now the song is so quite, practically no one can hear it ;0(

I do have a plan to sort this out and re-record the vocals again, but I keep getting really excited with the new stuff we're working on, so I don't ever seem to get round to it.

Anyway, if you fancy having a listen, here's

Enjoy.

Hello darkly euphoric world!

I'm fully immersed in all the pre-Christmas excitement ... so, I'm not going to waffle on for too long. I shall simply ask you to have a listen to a 'choon' that was produced by the great Michael Forrest with me on vocals as well as in the capacity of lyric creator, well most of them anyway ;0)

Listen to Dark Euphoria.mp3

I hope you like it, Dark Euphoria's basically a story about annoying men that can't/won't commit for whatever reason ... not that I'm bitter or anything! I believe that you live and you learn, and I find that usually these experiences are a good foundation for a song. So there you have it, first hand proof that every cloud has a silver lining.

So, have you listened to the song yet? What do you think? Let me know - I'm particularly interested in vast quantities of praise ;0)

Seriously now, I'm off. Take care.
