Yes…..I am almost done with the production of BLACK HEART!  I’ll be driving to North Carolina in June to meet with mixing engineer, John Plymale.  John mixed my last record, IT’S MY TRAGEDY, and has also worked with artists such has Superchunk, Squirrel Nut-Zippers, and Alejandro Escovedo to name a few.  This album will have 10 new songs on it….unless I slash one out last minute. (ha!)    The first three songs are GIVE OR TAKE, BLACK HEART, and QUITTER.   GIVE OR TAKE is a song I casually wrote about a dear friend who just seemed to tick me off one day :)   Well at least that’s where the idea came from….then the rest just exploded out of me coming from many different directions.  I wrote the song BLACK HEART a few years back…it was the song that told me…”start working on a new album!”.    In 2004, I lost my mother in a car crash and had ended a major relationship in my life.   It was a low blow for me.  I felt homeless.  Lost.  Distraught.  This song deals with opening up my heart again….giving and recieving love.   QUITTER is a very evil song.  I am truley a bitch in this song.  My ego meets my temper.  This song deals with ex-bandmates, lovers, ex-anyones in my life that didn’t believe in me, my music, and were just backstabbers!   Yes thats dark….but you’ll be surprised where the album ends up!
