Okay guys, I feel like I wanna make a public announcement: I'm releasing an album. It's a jazz- and-pop-inspired album with beautiful strings in it played by two of my dear friends.
I've worked on this album on a very long time, and I'm still figuring out the last bits and pieces to make it become a reality. It has about 16 songs (or something like that, sometimes I add or delete a song based on my mood).
As I said before; I've been working on it for a very long time... It's practically consumed my life completely. I haven't started any career or had any focus on starting a family, I haven't got any savings in my accounts (unfortunately... but to my great pleasure as I'd rather that money go to this creation), I've taken on jobs that I hated just to save another extra 1000 kr. The making of this album even came into an abrupt halt about 1,5 years ago, because of a harsh covid-infection that turned into long-covid, I couldn't play music for a whole year and didn't know if I'd ever be well enough to finish the project.
Today I can happily and gratefully say that I was able to come through the other side and finish what I once started. I'm happy about my friends and music-associates that are willing to work with me to make this a reality, and I'm grateful to music in general as an outlet of the spirit.
& most of all I'm grateful to be alive.
It's gonna be a fun ride, and I'm obviously very excited to bring you all with me on this journey.
Thank you God & earth,
/ Mélia Meijer
