I just wanted to take the time to write directly to you guys, which is the real reason as to why I've started this page. I'll be writing updates here whenever I can, as I feel it's a better way to communicate with you all, instead of the restrictions with Twitter. Just because you don't see me reply to your tweets doesn't mean I'm not looking, and I'm extremely grateful of all the love & support you guys have shown, at times when I've most needed it. Sometimes things don't always work out, and that's okay, you hurt, but you move on from it. It's just the way life is.
Writing has been what I've turned to in these trying times, in fact, it feels like all I ever do these days is write. I have
so many songs, a lot of them you guys won't even get to hear, why? I'm a perfectionist in every way, and when it comes to making the track list to my album, nothing can be less than 100%, so a lot of stuff will be thrown out the window. But it's good news! It's going to be great for that reason, very great. Because you'll only hear the very best, and this stuff is
really good. I don't want to say that my new album is going to be the best thing since sliced bread... but it kinda is. ;) But in all seriousness, it's coming together very well & I can't wait for everyone to hear it next year. You think it's torture waiting? Try being me! I want you all to hear it just as bad as you want to.
It was recently revealed that Arianna Harley had bought my shares in North Hill Records, and I wish her all the best with the label. She's a very talented, smart woman, who I know will do a great job. Along with selling my half of the label, I have also decided to leave North Hill. I am officially unsigned and without a home! Why? It was the right decision for me, I need a fresh start and have a new chapter in my life to begin. I don't want to have any negative feelings asssociated with a label that was very near and dear to me, so now was the time to leave. At this current moment, I'm not searching for a label and will possibly start up my own, purely for myself, so I can focus on every single aspect behind my next album release.
Aside from my hectic life, my favourite group of girls and I just put out our new album
Make a Scene to stream and we are SO thrilled to finally have it out there for you guys to sing along to! I want to thank Stephanie Fierce and the guys of Blood of Wecz especially for featuring on an album that we feel is incredibly special to us. Me, Chantal, Kimberly and Sophia wrote each and every song on the album, we executively produced it & put a lot of hard work into the record, and to see the response so positive is a great, great feeling. We love you!
After feeling like I was going round and round and was never really finding true happiness, I'm glad to say that I feel free now. I've got so much to look forward to, and I've got nothing to hold me down, I'm determined to make this next year in my life the best yet, because as a woman who's been through more than most, I feel like I deserve it. Mark Talley, who many of you know from Blood of Wecz, has helped me so much through these darker times, and I'm very grateful for that. The two of us have recently experienced a break-up, so it was great to just talk with him in the studio when we were working on "Soul to Sell", someone to share the weight of the world with. I no longer like labels, call it "dating", "hooking up", whatever you wish, but I'm happy to have him in my life.
Take that Culture Uncut! Until next time, Tumblr.
