Recording The EP begins!

This weekend I went into Central London (west central to be more specific), walked into a room said hi to the incredible being that was about to record me and began the process of laying down a stack of tracks for what's going to be a freaking phenomenal EP! Yeay!!

Was a lot of fun, I have to admit. It's a wonder we actually got anything done! Matt G.(Gush Studios) has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and no doubt he'll continue to be! My girls Audra and Mandisa came through for me and have already begun to sprinkle their magic over it all , starting with 'Who Am I' which is already sounding delectable and we've only laid down lead, bvs and rhythm guitar! no bass, drums or anything else.. so you can only imagine what it's gonna sound like when it's done!! whooop!!

Or at least I hope so. There is always that thing of sometimes, expression gets lost in translation.. and sometimes it just doesn't sound the same once it's out of your head.. but I'm gonna try to avoid that!!

It's an issue though. I ain't gonna lie! Sometimes you can't stop the mind from clicking over, or the ideas flooding in.. oooh, maybe we could do it like this, and then have a bit of that in ... but that means we'll need to get a so and so in.. that could be... well you get the picture. And then I remember... if you put too many ingredients into a pot it won't necessarily make the food taste sweet! And with that in mind, I've decided to keep this particular musical dish as simple as possible.. but you know I'm a Naija babe, which means I like peppe' so rest assured the EP's gonna be HOT!!

Still a lot that needs doing, and I'll have to get my ass in gear if I'm gonna call in the rest of the troops to help me pull this together. You know musicians... always busy doing one project or another... so, I'll have to blackmail them with promises of fun, laughter, candy, wine and simply great company!!

Oh, and there's the question of how many tracks should I put on the EP? I had a number in mind, then I thought.. nah, can't be bothered, then I thought but I should be and then I thought... but I also want to add another track over all... and so the mystery becomes... how many tracks in all will be on this EP?? Guess we'll all ( myself included) just have to wait and see!!
