Today marks the day of "Lucid" completion (Thursday, April 28, 2011)...  HORAY!  It’s bittersweet however because I have invested so much blood sweat and tears into this project for a solid two years or more!  I’m very proud of how everything is sounding and it’s time to give birth to this thing : )  I’m sitting here typing feeling a great deal of gratitude for all of you who have not only shown your support through pre-ordering, but have gone the extra mile to be apart of this campaign club...  I can’t… Read more

I’m excited to announce that the title of the bonus disc EP will continue my dorky trend of album title play-on-words : )  Just to recap, the bonus disc for the STARK album was called NAKED, the UP & AWAY bonus disc was called DOWN & OUT, the BATTLER bonus disc was called PEACEKEEPER and the LUCID bonus disc will be called (drum roll please)...  OPAQUE!  All credits go to my adorable husband, Glen Nadeau for coming up with this clever antonym.  I particularly like this title because I had a very clear…Read more

I just posted a sort of video update “interjection” explaining the nature of my Campaign Club updates which goes something like this...  I have collected lots of video footage documenting progress of the new album but underestimated how time consuming it would be to edit the videos together so my apologies on the lag time involved in video updates.  It’s important for everyone to know that the updates will continue on throughout the summer however so, better late than never right?  My hope is that you’ll…Read more

I have finally come to the decision of what songs have made the final cut of the album and what songs are better suited for the bonus disc and that decision is never an easy one for me!  Ironically, the decision tends to become clear on its own right around this time in the process as I always seems to write songs in two separate “realms” during the same project timeframe.  Of course, the difficult part is forming a close relationship with a song during the process and then realizing that it just doesn’t…Read more

I won't babble on too long about and instead, let the latest vlog updates do the talking – but I'm tentatively calling the latest song "The Night" and with good reason.  As this is a dream concept album, I really wanted an "anchor" song so to speak to introduce the dream world in true lullaby fashion.  This song begins with a stark, music box sound that gradually builds with piano, vocals and ambient synth sounds that become "dreamier" as our main subject of the song prepares himself and inevitably, falls…Read more

Top of the morning to you!  That's a glimpse of exactly how I feel today because I'm brimming with excitement and anticipation for the new album (drum roll please)...  Lucid! That's right, I have finally decided upon a the title of the new album and it will be one of only two albums I've ever released mirroring the title of a song from the album.  Not sure how much I've eluded to the theme of this new album thus far but it's my first attempt at a full blown "concept" album.  I've credited some major…Read more

As someone brought to my attention today (thanks Gary!), these campaign club updates have been slow moving as a result of me being way to good at having too much on my plate : )  I just posted some video progress on a newer song I’m calling “Naysayer” however, and it’s in two parts given some transferring snafus I was having and, well, it never hurt to have a sequel ; )  Naturally, I'm always talking about my own music when it comes to all of my campaign efforts but I've also been wearing many other hats… Read more

I have just uploaded a new video documenting some of the progress made on probably my favorite new song to date called "From Now On"...  It features the cello recording sessions that in my opinion, is truly the icing on the cake for such an emotional canvas of sound.  I can't wait to polish this one up and release it to the world!  Check out the video to hear more about this tune...   This new album has proven to hold an inconsistent schedule – as I'm sure you have already gathered – as it's been… Read more

As I'm sure you'll notice, the videos that I'm posting here for campaign club members are in no particular order whatsoever!  The good news is that I'm actually back-logged with video footage now that it's July so the latest "vlog" features video footage from both January and February but better late than never : )  It's more time consuming than I had realized editing all this video so I'm trying to release them periodically while I juggle everything else as I don't want you to miss a beat...  Once the… Read more

 It's now June and indeed, a few months have passed since my last blog and vlog update in January...  Yikes!  Since you are V.I.P. status in my little "Release Campaign Club" I will confess to you what I wouldn't ordinarily announce publicly; times have been more trying than ever before with my career financially so I've had to put many things on hold in order to pick up the slack, including production on the new album.  It's comforting to know that I'm not alone in the world of financial woes resulting…Read more
