Hi Everyone!

I wanted to write to say Happy Holidays and also to update you on the timeline of the project! When I started recording the album, it was January 2010. Now its almost a year later! Honestly, I thought I would have this album out in August! but I'd rather do it right then rush it. Turns out there is a lot to do to release an album. Right now, the album is getting some final tweaking to be the best it can be and will be mastered in the beginning of January! I already finished the album art design and once I have the final songs, I will send it off to get printed! I also talked with a big publicity company who is going to help me spread the word about the album and get me some press most likely including a national online campaign and and a northeast print campaign! In conjunction with the press, I will be putting together a Northeast tour to promote the album. I am hoping to get gigs in cities like Portland, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and DC. I am also hoping to put together CD release parties in Boston and New York! So I have lots to do to get all this ready. This album will probably be released in April 2011, BUT the minute its ready (i'm thinking end of January for at least the digital copy), you will have it on your computer! I can't wait for you to hear it!

Thanks again for all your support!!
Happy Holidays!

Hey Everyone,

So my previous deadlines of when my EP would be done have passed! Its taking longer than expected but its almost here! So here is what has happened so far...

I've sent the tracks back to my producer to do some tweaks because I want it to sounds as perfect as possible! 5 out of the 6 are done and just waiting on the final copy of the 6th song to be sent back to me for final approval! I think I've listened to my album over 500 times easily to make sure everything sounds good!

After all the tracks are done, I will send them off to get mastered so the audio sounds great in everything you will play it in!

In the meantime, I've been working on the album art. I had 2 awesome photo sessions for the album cover and will be finishing that hopefully in the next week when I get all the photos back!

Then its off to disc makers where it will all get printed and then out to you!! Woohoo!

Below is a picture after one of my photo sessions which involved a lot of makeup!

Love,
Jill
