Album 2010 – Blog #5: Can’t rush art
Asalaamu Alaykum
Hope you guys are doing well. Lots of folks are asking how the album is coming along. Well we have good news and bad news. Good news is that the album is sounding really good mashaAllah. We have some really good songs and we are involving many more musicians on the album. Last time we had several featured artists, this time we will probably have a good amount of producers, percussionists, etc to help make it sound really nice. So alhamdulillah its going well.
However, the bad news is that the way things are going, we may not have it out for the beginning of Ramadan like we hoped. We had a couple tours break up our momentum for a bit, and some personal stuff came up. But more significant than that, we want to get it right. We don’t want to rush it just to meet a deadline. Many times, I have to leave the tracks alone for a while just so I can hear what sticks out like a sore thumb next time I hear it. When you hear the song over and over and over, your ear becomes used to things it shouldn’t get used to. So you can’t rush it.
But we will try to have something for you for Ramadan, maybe a single or something. We’ll see. Don’t want to make promises, but inshaAllah we will work hard to help our supporters and fans happy inshaAllah. Please make dua for us that we can finish!
Du’as.
keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!
