Conversational Piece Album Update: From 52 songs to 14!!

"How can we not include that song"?

- DJ MikeNite

I recorded 52 records for my upcoming album which is a modest number if you ask me.  One of the most difficult aspects of putting an album together is leaving certain songs off.   When I played the unused songs for my DJ/Engineer he kept saying "why aren't we using that one"?  This is when I second guess myself, but I chose 14 strong records and I have to live with this decision.   I would love to drop a double album but that's unrealistic.  I asked my fans (on social media) how many records should I settle on and general consensus said 14.  We hope to release some of the unused songs leading up to the release of the album. 

I spend weeks sequencing my albums.  I will listen to my album over and over and over making sure that it flows properly.  A poorly sequenced album can make people hate certain songs.  Sequencing an album is placing songs in chronological order.  The album has to have a certain flow where songs sort of tell a story.  I am finally satisfied with the sequencing of "Conversational Piece".  I'm more than excited to share my third album with the world!!   May 2015!!
