This Is Me, is the debut album from Sabrina Franc who was a forgotten member of the Permanent Reminder label until recently. After the departure of Kidd Amaze and Carmen Grant and Lotus leaving for others chances Sabrina was torn between Labels that wanted to see what they could get out of her and what she consider her home PR. To make matters worst she was scheduled to go on tour with Kidd Amaze, and after heated talks they allowed her to go but they would hold on to her contract until she came back and they will talks about her later. The experience was good for her as she was able to get some exposure as well as giving me more of a feel for her sound. Once she got back from the tour the debated began on what should be done, Some said they she should go independent others felt that if she could pull in numbers she should go to another label. With all of this going around she just channel her emotions into her music. Talking about how she isn't going to change and she is going to do what is best for her and no one else.

Quote:
There was a lot of drama, with the roster, management, and all of a sudden all these were eyes were on me and what I was going to do. I don't know what happen one moment we were all together and then people just started to leave like that lost faith. I'm just here to show people what I dreamed to do, and so I really put my all into this. So that is why I called it This is Me cause I think that this is really all of me right now.


As for Sabrina sound it dance, Electronic Dance to be sure. She did most of the music herself but also have some help with TJ "Kidd Amaze" Cousins with the production. So songs are really catchy and makes you want to dance while other the music takes a back seat for the lyrics that she wanted to portray Some of the songs are songs that have already been release (Make Me Your Woman, Better Off Without You) while others we're cut from the project cause of how it was proceed by the public (Scream and Shout, Crazy) Some of this is music that she did during the tour with Kidd Amaze while other is brand new never heard before. This is it for her contract though, and it will be interesting to see how this fare, in both charts and sells. As this is the first project for the new Permanent Reminder

Track One:
My Way


The CD starts off with the song My Way was it begins with piano, So right off she goes into talking about her dream, A dream about being a top selling artist, having lots of money, and having things go her way. Reality has been everything but her way with gossip and talks swirling around her. As the song goes through the first verse the piano is the only thing that is playing but subtle beat starts to form into she goes into the hook where the beat really kicks in. Spontaneous and rocking, the beat is good and has it own moments where it gets it solo before she goes back to her verse and things get mellow again. She goes into saying she knows her worth and is not going to go less than what she feel she has earned.


(Lyrics)

(1st Verse)
I was always the one to go and
Follow my own drumbeat
no one can live your life
You have to make your own way
Find a place where you can stay
And be happy

(Bridge)
One day, I have everything I could ask for
And more, Yes more
Until then I just keep working and making to shore

(Hook)
I want to have it my way.
Have people listen to what I say
I want to have it my way
My way
Always

My way, always, ways

I want to have it


(2nd Verse)
I have given up on settling for things that are less
Just to be satisfied
I got too much at stake too many things left to fate
To be compromised

(Bridge)
One day, I have everything I could ask for
And more, Yes more
Until then I just keep working and making to shore

(Hook)
I want to have it my way.
Have people listen to what I say
I want to have it my way
My way
Always

(Instrumental Solo)

My way, always, ways

I get to be the queen
No one controlling me

(3rd Verse)
I was always the one to go and
Follow my own drumbeat
no one can live your life
You have to make your own way
Find a place where you can stay
And be happy

(Hook)
I want to have it my way
Have people listen to what I say

I want to have it my way

(Instrumental fade out)

Track 2
Tears I cried



Track 2 deals with domestic Violence abuse, A topic that has been in the media for a while. The track is more electronic feels then the last one. In the beginning it talks about how she wants to go away from the relationship but every time she wants to leave it causes another fight and he ends getting physical with her. This was something that she didn't have a good time writing as she has seen her grandmother in this type of abused. It was a touchy subject and that is the reason why she didn't release this song as it is a personal song for her.



{Lyrics}
I want to run
but I could never run far enough
need somewhere to hide
somewhere to take the pain away

I don't want to feel this way inside
but having to leave will only cause another fight
Nothing I can do with you and I

I want to run away
I want to run away
Anywhere but this place
I want to run away

These Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried

These Tears I cried

Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried

Not weak anymore
Not going to be used anymore
I'll stand my ground
Show that I won't easily go down


I don't want to feel this way inside
but having to leave will only cause another fight
Nothing I can do with you and I

I want to run away
I want to run away
Anywhere but this place
I want to run away


These Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried

These Tears I cried

Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried
Tears I cried

(Sound Like)



Track #3
Lost & Found



Track 3 starts off slow and mellow before it really starts, It talks about how she is able to go to music whenever there is a problem in her life. It is a song that She thinks a lot of people will relate too as music as always been a comfort to her and has been there to good and bad as it has for many others. She talks about finding herself by getting lost in music. Which is why she thinks it relates well with others.


{Lyrics}

You always been the protective one
Someone who will hog the fun
Only to give it all to me
You never get judgmental
But sometimes leave me sentimental
Of all the things to do for me
But you aren’t so squeaky clean
Because I know you done this others
But I love you so
I’m happy to be another
The notches on bed tell me all I need know
I know how it can end but I want to be in show

Cause I get lost, I lost when I’m with you
Somehow you, you know what to do
Whenever I have problem I come running to you
I get lost, so lost when I’m with you.

I think that I can tame you,
cause I know you so well
even though you spent some of your in jail
confine in your own unique little cell
afraid of what you might create
but it is up to us to shake, the hands of time
They seem to have a hold on you
but I won’t let him get to you
No matter what is said,
You will always be this way in my eyes
You always been the protective one
Someone who will hog the fun
Only to give it all to me
You never get judgmental
But sometimes leave me sentimental
Of all the things to do for me


Cause I get lost, I lost when I’m with you
Somehow you, you know what to do
Whenever I have problem I come running to you
I get lost, so lost when I’m with you.

Track 4 We are Young

(Lyrics)
We are young
We got so much to live for
So live, live until it's all done
We are young
Everything is right ahead
So live, live until it's all done



So much pressure that place on us
They tell us to slow down and adjust
But we want it all we in a rush
Cause we see that life and all it is in front of us
We stretch ourselves out trying to make a way
With love in our hearts looking for a place to stay
Our dreams and our fantasy are not far away
While these old standards want us to obey
As life beats down and tries to make us conform
We rebel as we follow our own norms
We are too young to give up on ideals
I still go on through all the feels
We have the power to make dreams real
No hidden agenda nothing to conceal
The future is here and now
The world is bright and wow
Together we make this vow



We are young
We got so much to live for
So live, live until it's all done
We are young
Everything is right ahead
So live, live until it's all done


Bad things happen to good ones
Mothers and fathers outlive sons
Daughters aren't love but are used
Not having a right way to choose
Don't get discourage
Have hope
People are in your corner
When your back is on the rope
And when you feel you losing hold
Being lead in a blindfold
You have friends to help catch you fall
Cause we stand together and fight for all
Equality is worth fighting for
Thriving to make all our goals
Why can't life be better for all of us
Why can't we have more love and trust


We are young
We got so much to live for
So live, live until it's all done
We are young
Everything is right ahead
So live, live until it's all done


Track 5 Charged me up

(Lyrics)
I don't what it is you have over me
Being without makes it hard to breathe
From the very first time we met
To the very last breath, I get
This world sometimes can be so stressful
But you by my side is so helpful
Even when I think of giving up
You are there to liven things up
Please don't take away
what helps me get through
I don't know where I would be without you
Slugging through hours drains me away
I need your power to last me all day

There this feeling
That I get from you
When it flows through
It charges me up
Like adrenaline
The excitement
When I'm tired
It charges me up

You have this force that I can't escape
All through the night it keeps me awake
From the very first time we met
To the very last breath I get
I just harness this power
It helps me get through
Feeling empowered
By lingering next to you
Oh, the feeling is just so much
The way that I feel from your touch

There this feeling
That I get from you
When it flows through
It charges me up
Like adrenaline
The excitement
When I'm tired
It charges me up

Track 6: Prove Them Wrong
Artist: Sabrina
Genre: House
Written by: Yasmin(e) Kiambang
Produced by: inZane
Length: 3:39



I need you here by my side
Who cares if it's wrong or right?
If anybody says that we're young, dumb and beyond crazy
Show them what it means to be full of love and free

Let me soar in your arms
Let me hear the beat of your heart
Let me soar in the warmth of your arms
Let me feel what's in your heart

I need you here in my soul
Who says it's not a home if you can't call it your own?
Moments like these are matters most most to me
Let's show them what it means to be full of love and free

Let me soar in your arms
Let me hear the beat of your heart
Let me soar in the warmth of your arms
Let me feel what's in your heart

And just maybe we'll prove them wrong
It's all it takes to prove them wrong
Don't you just want to prove them wrong?
We've let them talk for long enough

Just let me soar in your arms
Let me hear the beat of your heart
Let me soar in the warmth of your arms
Let me feel what's in your heart



Track 7 ~ True
Artists: Sabrina Franc
Genre: Dance Pop, EDM
Songwriters: Dennis Shaw, Erik Zullo
Joseph Cro
Producers: DJ Cloud


(Lyrics)
I was lost I couldn’t see
Yeah so deaf, no hope for me
I always knew there was a key
But I was too scared to try
To find the answers to my life
To find and conquer with all my might
To write the wrongs that I have done
Now I heal the pain with this song…

I don’t, I don't, I'd know how to live my life
But I’ll learn, I'll learn, I learn somehow
That's what I keep telling myself
I don’t, I don't, I'd know how to live my life
But I’ll learn, I'll learn, I'll learn somehow
That's what I keep telling myself
But now I need to be the true me


(Beat drop)
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now, now
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now now


I was scared I was confused
I didn’t know what to do
You were my last hope and I looked to you
And even then I was terrified that I would lose
I ask myself how to fix this
And I really don't know
My bravery just doesn't show
I think I have to learn how to say no
I think I'm ready to go..

I don’t, I don't, I'd know how to live my life
But I’ll learn, I'll learn, I learn somehow
That's what I keep telling myself
I don’t, I don't, I'd know how to live my life
But I’ll learn, I'll learn, I'll learn somehow
That's what I keep telling myself
But now I need to be the true me


(Beat drop)
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now, now
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now now


Just watch me as I rush in and hit a wall
Feel so stranded, with no recall
Day after the day, letting myself down
Time to grab a grip, But....

I don’t, I don't, I'd know how to live my life
But I’ll learn, I'll learn, I learn somehow
That's what I keep telling myself
I don’t, I don't, I'd know how to live my life
But I’ll learn, I'll learn, I'll learn somehow
That's what I keep telling myself
But now I need to be the true me


(Beat drop)
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now, now
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now now


(ooooh, yeah...)
I need to be the true me....
(ooooh, yeah...)
You need to be the true you...


You need to be the true you right now, now, now
You need to love you right now, now, now, now
I need to be the true me right now, now, now
I need to love me right now, now, now now

Track 8: Better Off Without You
Lyrics

(Verse 1)
In the Beginning
I thought that this was everything
But I was left with nothing at all
I saw you, and you told me what I wanted to hear
Sold me nothing but broken dreams

(Bridge)
You let me down and let me fall
But I got up and brush you off
You went off to find someone else
And I am doing find without your help
(Hook)
Go ahead, live your life
I am better off without you
Stay out late, Rush through life
I am better off without you

(Verse 2)
Looking back
I don’t know why I couldn’t see
What you really thought of me
You wanted to play the role of a shining Knight
But what you were was just a fool

(Bridge)
You let me down and let me fall
But I got up and brush you off
You went off to find someone else
And I am doing find without your help
(Hook)
Go ahead, live your life
I am better off without you
Stay out late, Rush through life
I am better off without you

I am better off without you

No more stress, No more pain
No more lying, no more game
I can finally be freeeeeeeee

(Bridge)
You let me down and let me fall
But I got up and brush you off
You went off to find someone else
And I am doing find without your help

(Hook)
Go ahead, live your life
I am better off without you
Stay out late, Rush through life
I am better off without you

Track 9: Breathe Out
Artist: Sabrina Franc
Genre: House
Written by: Airemese "Coke" Smith, Yasmin(e) Kiambang
Produced by: inZane
Length: 3:52



I have no more space to hold it all in
I've gotta let it go if I want to win
Only holding myself back by keeping it all in
Count to ten
I've been holding onto this grudge since I don't know when
Life is so short and I've just been stalling
Giving you all this power over me only means that you win

And I can't let that happen
I gotta be strong
Before you, I was happy
I vow to be the same left alone
No, you don't belong here
I wont let you stay
How rude of you to leave your baggage
When you've gone far away

You left me out for the wolves
Now watch me come back leading the pack
You took away my breath
Now it's about time you bring it back

I breathe in
I breathe out
I scream loud
And already I'm a little stronger

There's no more space for you within my heart
You made me out to be your victim and I almost played the part
I used to think about my wrongs when believing you were the culprit was hard

But I can't let that happen
I gonna be strong
Before you, I was happy
I vow to be the same left alone
No, you don't belong here
I wont let you stay
How rude of you to leave your baggage
When you've gone far away

You left me out for the wolves
Now watch me come back leading the pack
You took away my breath
Now it's about time you bring it back

I breathe in
I breathe out
I scream loud
And already I'm a little stronger

I'm freeing my mind
I'm looking for love
Your memories can't weight me down anymore, my love
You can try to put up a fight
I'll just be watching from above
Your memories can't weight me down anymore, my love
I breathe out
Your memories can't weight me down anymore, my love
I breathe out
Your memories can't weight me down anymore, my love
I breathe out
Your memories can't weight me down anymore, my love
Because I'm a little stronger

I breathe in
I breathe out
I scream loud
And already I'm a little stronger

I breathe in
I breathe out
I scream loud
And already I'm a little stronger


Track 10: It Takes Two ft. Lotus
Artist: Sabrina Franc
Genre: EDM, synth-pop
Written by: Airemese "Coke" Smith, Sarojini "Lotus" Lui
Produced by: inZane, NinaT
Length: 3:25


Sabrina
Lotus

I don't want to think about it too much
I'm feeling naughty, need your body, come touch
Grab your car keys, don't be tardy, I'm all alone
As a matter of fact, you should stay on the phone

Can you hear that? I've been calling
Every night I've been holding back, no more stalling
No more moaning your name out into the distance
You're all that's been missing!

Don't you know it takes two to sing a duet?
We shouldn't be all alone playing Russian roulette
Let's put 2 and 2 together and strengthen our skill sets
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two

Don't you know it takes two to do the tango?
We shouldn't have to practice the steps all alone
Let's put 2 and 2 together, I'll help you learn by rote
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two

You don't have to think at all
Boy, just take your clothes off
This whole time we've been standing on the wall
If we don't dance quick, we're gonna drop the ball

Can you hear that? It's fate calling
Every night you've been holding back, no more stalling
No more moaning your name out into the distance
You're all that's been missing!

Don't you know it takes two to sing a duet?
We shouldn't be all alone playing Russian roulette
Let's put 2 and 2 together and strengthen our skill sets
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two

Don't you know it takes two to do the tango?
We shouldn't have to practice the steps all alone
Let's put 2 and 2 together, I'll help you learn by rote
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two

Can't you see? You're just what I've been needing
It's all yours now, just call on me when you need it

Let me show you what to do with all of this boy, come a little closer and bring me my toy
You the type I'd let just dive right in, you don't ever need no invitation
Crash my party, make it a night to remember
Bring all your members, we'll be spilling your Bunch from Jan to December
I'll send you off, you just gotta deliver
I'll hit the notes, you bring the ensemble-rrrrrr

Don't you know it takes two to sing a duet?
We shouldn't be all alone playing Russian roulette
Let's put 2 and 2 together and strengthen our skill sets
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two

Don't you know it takes two to do the tango?
We shouldn't have to practice the steps all alone
Let's put 2 and 2 together, I'll help you learn by rote
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two
It takes two

OOC: You finally got the album out! I'm glad Sabrina finally got this out and it's a good uplifting EDM album. Happy you used "Truth", and my fave song is "It Takes Two" featuring Lotus. A bop that should be the next single!
