How’s
about a project update?!!! (If you're asking, "What project?" then go here: The Gratitude Project)
So
here’s the thing about working on a long term project like a record album – you work
very long and often, odd hours.
Therefore,
the first thing on my mind is not usually how I look, but rather how I show up sounding. Also, “What are we eating?” is
usually a thought that arises somewhere past proper mealtimes and before
fainting.
Frequently,
I’m wearing no makeup and my ever-changing longer hair is hanging attractively
in my face or pulled off it such that I resemble Pebbles from The Flinstones. It’s an attractive look.
So
the real time recording session video updates have not happened…yet. In the
meantime, I’ve got a couple of stills of life in studio. And I could not be
more excited about how this project is taking shape.
The
people joining me on this record are Grammy winning musicians who have played with
the biggest artists in the business, and you have definitely seen and heard them
either on TV or in concert.
In
a few weeks, I’ll reveal some of their names, but suffice it to say that I am
over-the-moon excited about the caliber and spirit of everyone creating it, and
that most definitely includes you.
Yesterday
I put the finishing touches on vocals for what I call the “Fortune Cookie Song.”
One night, I received a fortune that said, “Take the chance while you still
have the choice.” It was before this project even had the remotest possibility
of existing, but it was a directive that I took…and here we are.
This
project has been a much longer and more involved endeavor than I ever imagined
going into it. But then again, all things that are worthwhile are. But every
step of it has been an opportunity to grow and expand as an artist and as a
human being.
It
is a testament to the message of each of us fulfilling our destiny that you are
a part of it and that such amazing talents are sharing theirs on this record.
Thank
you for hanging in there with me for the duration. I think it’ll be worth the
wait!
Big,
grateful hugs to each and every one of you,
Ilene
