Better Late than Never!

<p>Well loves... it's official! I suck at updating all the sites I am on. <br />The new album was released in January and only now am I uploading some tunes from it to Mixposure. Sorry about that. I'm on Facebook and Twitter more and more these days it seems. It's a better centralized location for all the 'stuff'.<br /><br />Hope you are all well and that you enjoy my latest originals. Lots coming in 2013 so stay tuned on Facebook if you want to stay up to date. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/nataliebrownmusic">http://www.facebook.com/nataliebrownmusic</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>About the new album "The Relationship Odyssey"</h3><p>These songs, in an electro-soul / R&amp;B / Pop style, represent an odyssey through personal relationships of fictional and real-life characters.This album was 2 years in the making, all recorded in a home studio I built with my writing/production partner in Toronto, Canada.</p><p>This was the first time I used &ldquo;Crowd Funding&rdquo; as a way to pay for an album. The experience was both exciting and nerve-wracking! Normally my recordings are funded up-front and then I try to sell enough to pay for the album and it was interesting this time to pre-sell it. Even though I felt that having the funds up-front would be helpful, there ended up being a lot more pressure having to guarantee that I would like what was recorded and creating a product that was worthy of release. An artist doesn&rsquo;t necessarily always like what they create and it&rsquo;s always nice to have the flexibility to keep recording until you&rsquo;re happy rather than release on an artificial deadline. The experience was indeed a roller-coaster but I&rsquo;m glad to have gone through it.</p><p>Sharing the songs and giving updates via my YouTube video blogs as they were being written was a great way to get feedback, and the interaction, while it made me feel vulnerable was inspiring and gave me a lot more confidence and strength. Since these songs are about relationships, it&rsquo;s been good to hear that people are able to relate to one or more of the topics covered in &ldquo;The Relationship Odyssey&rsquo;.</p><p>Pick up a copy of the album and I&rsquo;m sure you will enjoy it if you are a fan of Pop/Electro-Soul/R&amp;B music!</p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><a title="Buy Now" href="http://www.natalie-brown.com/the-relationship-odyssey/" target="_blank">Buy "The Relationship Odyssey"</a></span></p>
