Releasing three albums within the space of six months of each other was quite an intense and exhausting task. I put in so many hours of hard work and effort to get them over the line that I said to myself that once the Save Me Now album was released in January 2024, I would take a break. It felt the right thing to do as surely my creative energy had dried up?
Wrong.
During the recording of Edge of the Universe, The Georgia Project and Save Me Now, I had written and recorded about twenty or thirty other half finished demo songs. Many of them were a couple of years old and I had forgotten about them. One day I decided to have a tidy up of my hard drive, so ended up loading up the projects and was pleasantly surprised to find some real gems which, with a bit of time and effort, had potential to be half decent.
The approach was very much a case of let’s do a bit at a time and not force or rush into a new project. At the same time, I continued to write new material. This is something I cannot stop. My head seems to be filled with music all the time. This is both a curse and a blessing.
I soon realised in early February that without having to put much effort in, I would have another two albums worth of songs.
So I asked myself the question ‘should I do this so soon?’. The answer was of course a resounding ‘YES’.
Anyway, my third album will be available very, very soon........
