That New-New

Today I’m in a really good mood because I’ve been extra productive. Helped to facilitate the set up of the ***new***Melrose website & revamped Myspace (whoo-hoo!!!) and I’m about to follow up on all the writing session contacts I made this week.  Yeah, man! I’m floating!

PLUS, I got the ruffs of the songs Kelee and I did out in LA last week. Yummy! They’re so good…I cannot wait until all of you can hear the stuff we’ve been working on. It’s good to have the creative juices flowing again. Creativity and some sort of innovation is always beautiful. We’ll be doing official PR blasting next week, spear-headed by the new images and the “Blame It” remix, so AHEM!!!  ATTENTION all alleged Melrose fans, Mylah supporters, Kelee supporters, and BeatStreet followers…get ready to put your money where your mouth is!!! We’re gonna need your support to help make this ish pop! I know yall got us

Speaking of innovation, I’m late, but uhhh, I just peeped the Lil Wayne video for “Prom Queen” and I DIGS THAT S**T!!! I may become a buyer of his stuff after all! Of course I can’t post the full vid from youtube here, but here’s a peek if you missed it.

Delayed blogging….

(Since once I got home, I had no internet access…..tears!!!)

I’m on the plane and 45 minutes away from Atlanta, rocking to that Ryan Leslie.  This album is pretty darn dope if I do say so myself.  People are sleeping. Or maybe it’s because it’s so New York that the masses aren’t getting it.  Whatever it is, I like it a lot.  “Valentine” is my ish!!!  So simple and grooved-out.  Yeah, man.

Actually Kelee and I were on that simple and grooved out tip with this new round of recording.  We did 6 new joints and they are FANTASTIC!  Seemed we loved each new song better than the last!  Yall got to hear the “KandiSto” snippet….fire.  Trust there is so much other music coming that can eff with that, though.  For instance, the one we recorded last night/this morning before I hopped on the plane…it’s called “Fall.”  It could possibly be my favorite Melrose song and it’s definitely my favorite vocal performance.  Perhaps EVER!  Whoohooo!

Sorry I never got that cord for my cameras to upload pix and vids (well, videos other than the Mac videos).  Now it’s catch up time.  Here are some random studio flicks:

KandiSto =)

More Melrose V-logging.  We are getting more and more excited by the hour because, homie, we are creating some GRRRRREAT STUFF!!!  People close to me know that I’m very calm and it takes alot to excite me, but my head is over bobbin’ hella hard (lol).  Enjoy this sneak peek….(thinks to self- “Who the heck is this?!  Bloggin’ at 4:36 in the mornin’, crack of dawn and yawnin’ “….lol)

TIck, TIck, TIck

It’s 7pm ATL time/4pm LA time and I’m already freakin’ sleepy.  I’m waiting to be picked up to go to the studio, so what better to do than blog a lil.

First off, I’m mad ’cause I left the cord to my camera(s) at my apartment so I can’t upload any pix or video unless I go buy another…how wack is that!?  I hate spending money on dumb ish, but I hate not being able to “communicate” even more (lol).  So I suppose for the good of the blog I’d better go buy another for this week.  Because there’s plenty to capture!

Hmmm…what can I say?  Musically, let’s just say for those of you who’ve been asking, “when am I gonna hear something (other than what’s on myspace)?”  your wishes may very well coming true.  Sooner than later.  Much sooner.  Yippee!

Adonis is at the studio right now doing a track for a song that we created a concept for last night.  It’s gonna be a sweet club-banger!  I feel it.  I’ll definitely have to catch some of that process on camera.

Also I got some of the pix back from last week’s photo shoot.  Mmmmhmmm!  Thanks to Demond for kicking my butt (or legs, more specifically) at LA Fitness and thanks to Mother Nature for making me sick and making me lose my appetite before the shoot.  Mama’s legs are on fiyaaah!  And I’m not even one to compliment myself.  That aint really me.  But I look good in those pix (lol).

Annnnd…I was invited to perform in a sexy lil show next weekend.  I’m not gonna spill the entire pot of beans until I confirm it, but I know 75% of America has probably heard of this show and will know just what I’m in for when I do say what it is.  I hope that happens.  The stage is my thang, shawty!  MMMM, come on phone call!  I’m gonna try and flip it into a Melrose situation, though…you know…promo, people!  HInt: my favorite red-carpet chick has done it…

Okay…I’m still waiting to be picked up.  Ugh!  This sucks!!!!!  I’m going to get a pedicure or something.  Laters…

Just the 2 of us

I’m sitting here at the spot I go to when I have nothing else to do and am unsure of what to write…and I’m wondering “what in the world could I write about?”  And here comes a dude with a note (!), complete with pictures drawn on it, that says:

“Dear Miss,

Forgive me…but you are very beautiful…have a wonderful day…”

Aww…well isn’t that nice   I still don’t really have a topic, though (lol).

Let’s see.  In 2 days I’ll be headed west to do another round of recording for good ole’ Melrose.  We still need to do a video blog, but since this ish has been kind of lingering for a minute, I’ll just go ahead and say it now.  Melrose is now a duo.  Kelee and I are going at it as 2 officially (duh!).  Shouldn’t be much of a suprise…I mean, anyone who’s been watching can see that it’s been me and her at events, me and her at the studio, even me and her onstage.  Just us.  The photo shoot we did on Valentine’s Day was the first as a duo.  Here’s a lil peek…

We’d been looking for a third, possibly a fourth, for about 6 months now and we actually had some good contenders, but we just drew the conclusion that since we’ve been the anchor since the incepetion of Melrose, why not just keep it as that?!  It also creates a slightly different lane since there are 100 girl groups with 3 or 4 “on the verge.”   (Electrik Red, Sophia Fresh, Rich Girl, Jane 3, etc etc).  So yep, no more questions.  MELROSE IS MYLAH AND KELEE! Dope, right?

We’ve got some good songs lined up to record that fit into this “new” lane we’re running in.  New hair/image, new sound, new beginnings.  I’m doing everything I can to keep the momentum up and to make this stuff take off into the stratosphere!  I’m too ready!  You already know that me, K, and Adonis are gonna have plenty of entertainment for yall!
