Hello people! We hope you're enjoying the long weekend, and will get many ang baos over the next few days!
And before I go for my reunion dinner in a couple of hours, here are some updates on what we've been up to:
The Debut Album
I know we haven't revealed much about the progress of our debut album. So for the record, we've already recorded and mixed half of the songs that will be on it. The next couple of months will be spent mixing the rest of the songs that have already been recorded, after which the album will have to be sent abroad for mastering. We're also very close to deciding on the album title, which we will be announcing in due time, so do be patient!
New Songs
Besides spending most of our weekends working on the album with Leonard at Snakeweed, we've been fine-tuning a handful of new songs during jamming sessions. These include "Waiting For Friday", a breezy tune that might remind you of Travis or Death Cab For Cutie, an epic emo anthem, a cheeky number dedicated to girls with boyfriends in bands and an edgy song that we first tried to write a couple of years ago. We hope to debut at least one of them during our next gig at Tampines Mall on 7th Februrary!
Live 'n' Loaded
We went down to MediaCorp yesterday evening to film some footage for the show, which makes its debut on Channel 5 this coming Tuesday! We ourselves can't wait to see how the show will turn out, and do remember to look out for Episode 6 on 3rd March, which we are appearing on! Fyi, we should be performing "If It Wasn't For You" on the show =)
Youth.SG's Feed Me Campaign
If you've yet to visit Feed Me's official website, click on the flash banner that we've posted on the right! And if you watch MTV, do look out for us in ads about the campaign. Last but not least, we spent the bulk of yesterday working with Diya (of Project Superstar fame) on an original composition for the campaign, which you should be able to hear very soon!
