So I had this idea, earlier today: why not pick a concept, and do another mixtape ? "Well, that's a great idea, self," said I, "but, what would this concept be ?" I then decided that I should make all the beats, too, which led me to the idea that the beats should be incorporated in said concept. "Again," said I to myself, "WHAT concept ?" But alas, I did not answer. Instead, I just started jamming on my keyboard.
Our story takes a TWIST, as the weather goes from sunny & cheerful to a pretty epic thunderstorm. So, I'm jamming on my E. Piano setting, playing some soulful chords, and there's all this gloomy weather, and the inspiration struck like the lightning that killed the power in my house for 10 minutes. I would call the tape "Lonely Rhodes" and limit the beats to incorporating only a rhodes keyboard sound as a melody point. So, when I do actually release the whole thing, keep in mind that every song is using the same instrument, but with variations on its settings. As for content, I decided to go across the board, and do it kinda album-style. So, there'll be the bragadocious, the conscious, the love song, all'at. I'm even throwing in a trap-ish song. Just one. ONLY ONE.
And all of this will be done by the 20th, God-willing. You know how I like these speed-tapes. They're actually pretty fun; I challenge any artist who's trying to get past their productivity block: give yourself a week or two, and be like "at the end of this time, I'm gunna have a good[however many] songs done, and I'll release them.
Hey, it worked for me with Show-Off: The 7-Day Mixtape <-- that's totally a link. You know how you like those. Click it. Just do it. It'll feel good.
Anyways, that's the deets on this next project. Hope y'all will support it, just like you did with Show-off, the link for which just happens to be right there, for you to listen to and download.
Yeah, I can shamelessly promote. It's MY blog.
Peace In, Peace Out.
