It is probably easier to ask where the year went. Yeah, let's blame it on the year. I really did have every intention to update the blog, but... I moved house, downgraded 'day jobs', released the EP, released a banging remix of Butterflies etc etc.
Hout Bay has been very good to me, so far. The people here have lots of kids and dogs AND shoes are optional. Since food is everything to me, I have discovered some great spots. Aaaah yes :)
Harrie's Pancakes in Hout Bay is THE spot
Always HAPPY to be eating Marcee :)
The food was THAT good
Oh... You haven't heard the DJ Zinhle remix of Butterflies. What?! Oh no, that just won't do. It is playlisted in over 20 countries. And I believe I did a post on it earlier. No worries though. Here it is:
Oh gosh, here we go again. I'm not even going to try and justify my lack of posts. I will move on, as though my previous post was a week ago.
So a while ago I released my second EP 'TheInBetween' which was recorded at the Redbull Studios (here in Cape Town). Well The Manager (Marcee) and I decided to get a remix done of one of the songs. Eventually we decided on one of my favourite DJs. DJ Zinhle: the hottest DJ on and off the turntables. Yessir!!
So the original song (produced by Oltak) was already playlisted in 8 countries and we were ecstatic. All we were hoping for was for the remix to match what the original did. We sent it out to dance radio stations around the world. OMG!! The song is now playlisted in TWENTY COUNTRIES!! I am such a proud mommy. Our baby is a little champion. Butterflies (DJ Zinhle remix) is partly why I have not been updating the blog.
I am part of a 2 woman label, so things that major labels can do in a week takes us a while. Its frustrating, but it is so rewarding.
We are working on releasing the next single. Stay tuned :)
The manager lady convinced me to release an EP that I wasn't sure I wanted to release. Late last year I was in the Red Bull Studios (Cape Town) and I worked with the ever amazing Oltak.
This was a the time when the album was on 'pause' and I really wanted to get rid of some of my anxiety. I was feeling stuck and needed to do something new. I struck Gold because Oltak is a GENIUS. One of the songs on the EP is 'Butterflies' and it has been playlisted in 8 countries. BOOYAH!!
So here is 'TheInBetween'. Listen and share. Its free. It certainly freed me when I was feeling stuck, sick&tired and useless. Writing 'Clowns Joy' was like therapy for me.
