* HOW TO RELEASE A SINGLE * PT. 4
With the 12/29/2006 single release party/performance steadily approaching we have been working hard to ensure a great product, great promotions and finally a great show!
This week I was in the studio on Saturday afternoon with bass player Josh Papreck to begin work on the track "3 HOMBRES" produced by El Genio De Acero. Josh layed down the main bassline and 2 alternate basslines, giving Listen Vision engineer DJ Boom plenty of options to work with. I recorded the the chorus and the main vocals for the three verses. On Wednesday of this week I was back at Listen Vision with DJ E-Boogie at which time we were recorded by engineer Al Nitty and were accompanied by Ray from DC Music & Models who filmed the session. DJ E-Boogie layed down some vicious cuts that I think you will all enjoy when you hear the final version of "3 HOMBRES"! I recorded adlibs and some alternate chorus parts that end the song.
This coming Wed. I'll be back in the studio working on the lead single "THINK" which is also produced by El Genio de Acero. This is the only track on the single that will be entirely in English. This track may also feature some background harmonies from the R&B Hip-hop Rockstar "E" and additional percussion by Doug Christiansen.
On Monday of this week we met with the owner of JOJO BAR the location at which we are planning on having the single release party/performance, in order to talk about the details of the event and to review the contract, solidifying what both parties agree to offer. We will be meeting during the week in order to go over any contract revisions and (as I said last week) hopefully signing the contract so that the location for the event can be set in stone.
I began preparations on the promotional aspect of preparing the single release party/performance this week by contacting Juan Luis from KestaMedia on Monday in reference to designing the flyers. Juan worked with us on the "CALIENTE" flyers and did a great job, so it made sense to work with him on the new "THINK" single! We should have the first draft of the design today and have them ready to print by early next week. Marketing & promotional support for the single release party/performance will also be provided by longtime collaboraters Phatcats Ent. They have already been actively involved in the process by coordinating a feature on DC Music & Models and by being in contact with Indie Street Latino in relation to the upcoming single. Phatcats will also be providing online and street team support during the promotional phase of the single/release party performance.
Thank you for your support and for continously following our progress!
I look forward to seeing you next week -- God Bless & God Speed!
