Lyrics on website and artwork in prep
So, it’s the first set of adjustments made, a cooling-off period and then a second set of adjustments. Very close to the finished article now that will be ready for mixing.
My wife has got to the state where, having heard these songs repeatedly for four months while I’ve been mixing them on and off, she would like to have a break from them for a while! Me, I’m still patient and full of enthusiasm – I really think we’ve got some strong material with good radio potential.
So, it’s time to tidy some other things up. For example, the Sharp Practise website needs sprucing up. And once again I’m very lucky to be able to call upon Mike Barnett’s services to keep the site something that we’re very proud of.
I’m also at the stage where I can send him the lyrics for the new album to display as a taster for the record – after all, those words aren’t going to change now.
The other thing to start thinking about now is the artwork for the CD cover – I have something that I think will work well, bearing in mind that no final decision has been taken on the album title yet. I want a title that reflects three things: one, this is a rock album; two, for all our efforts over the past ten years we’ve still not made the big breakthrough yet; and three, there should be a cultural reference that people will pick up on.
I let you know how we get on with this next time – unless anyone has any suggestions they’d like to make in the meantime?
