I was just thinking about how, just a year and half back, I was driving on
I-65 and feeling frustrated about wanting to see what was around the corner
for me musically. I felt stumped....out of place. Adam Again played it's last
gig at Cornerstone and I was on my own, completely. Was I supposed to go it
alone? Join another band? Or maybe just be a roller skating waitress. I
thought I heard God whisper, "Patience" and I willed myself to focus on that
word for the rest of the day. A few months later, I had a BBQ for my friends
and someone mentioned that I should do another record. I immediately
poo-poo'd the idea because I felt I was not ready but, by the end of the day,
I somehow changed my mind and had already chosen the producer I wanted.

That producer was and is Julian Kindred. He agreed to the project and we've
been working on the record on and off since then. I could not be more blessed
to have paired up with Jule. We have written almost every song together and
Julian has not only produced but programmed the entire record as well. I've
never felt so close to making music that was actually in my heart and in my
head. It has all the elements of the kind of music I like to listen to and
will love to perform: groovy, laid back, funky, mysterious, etc. It's also
the first time I think I've been truly honest in spilling my guts on paper
and feeling good about what I'm sharing through the music. Scary and
beautiful at the same time.

We go back into the studio tomorrow to finish vocals and percussion and hope
to have the whole thing wrapped up by September 17th. It's been a crazy and
wonderful experience and I can't wait to share it with the rest if the world!
I thank God for his word.

Peace,
Riki Michele
