Sophie & Seasons
Saturday, February 7th, 2009Finished writing another song last night, tentatively titled “Sophie”. I guess you could say I’m feeling inspired to write but I have so much other work to do and just don’t feel right spending too much time on it. Sometimes you just gotta flow with it though.
So, everything is starting to come together. The artwork for “Seasons” will arrive soon and then I can work on the CD inserts and such. It’s beautiful too, but I won’t say more. Don’t want to spoil it. 
Other than that, just enjoying the weekend. It’s been raining the past couple days and even now it’s overcast, so we probably won’t do much for outdoor activities. We were supposed to go to a BBQ tomorrow with a married group were in, but we might get rained out so who knows. It’s funny because it rarely rains here but seems to whenever there is an important event! Still, I’ve never experienced such magnificent weather!
Meet (the real) Jakki Jelene
Sunday, February 1st, 2009It’s been quiet around here lately but that’s all about to change. I must admit that for some time I have felt it was better to hide in the shadows. Perhaps it’s just my nature to hang in the background, but I also feel I needed to go through a time of renewal. So many things have happened over the past two years, some good and some not so good. I’ve certainly struggled a lot with finding proper direction musically and personally. I believe I am starting to make out my path in the distance and I can only hope it will be made more clear as time goes by.
My goal for 2009 is to be more open with my listeners. To allow a window into who I really am and what goes on inside this obscure brain. A great deal of my desire to do so stems from the fact that my ultimate goal is to touch people through my work. I feel I can achieve that more greatly if you are able to relate to me on a more personal level.
I am especially excited about my upcoming releases. I am in the process of finishing up the vocals for my EP/Mini Album, “Seasons”. I’ve struggled with the feeling that this should have been done months ago, but as I see things come together, I am reminded that there is perfect timing for everything. I believe the time is right for this year. This project has meant a great deal to me and I knew I would have to take steps to ensure it was done properly. How could 6 tracks be so emotionally draining? I guess when you have such a specific vision you want to see it come together just the way you envision it. Even if no one else in the whole world appreciated it, I would know I was true to myself.
My next full length album, “Luminous”, will be released not long after. They are quite different from each other in that “Seasons” will feature only organic instruments and “Luminous” is heavily electronic. It will be a bit of a departure from “Reflections”, but should still appeal to the same audience. I will certainly delve more into the thoughts behind those releases in time.
