Searching for The One. Producer, that is.

Finding the right producer is kind of like finding "the one."  There are plenty of fish in the sea, and you go on what feels like a million first dates.  That initial meeting, where you try and find out if you like each others (musical) style, and if there's any chemistry.  some make promises they can't keep, others completely misrepresent themselves.  Sometimes you know immediately if they aren't your type.  In fact, I knew right away when Producer D-bag said to me, "What's the point of live instruments anyway?  The hits are in programming these days..." that we had no future.

Then there are the more promising "first dates" that just fizzle.  I once met with a producer who talked a mean game and promised the world.  He very charismatically told me that he was going to make me 'the next big thing.'  Sidenote: I have no desire to be the 'next big thing.'  Regardless, he had neither the vision nor the talent to back it up.  Finally there are the producers who fib and pad up their experience, only to then buckle under the pressure of recording a 3 song demo.  This process can be daunting, and as all my single ladies can attest, there are just too many Mr. Wrong's.

And just when you've given up hope that anyone will ever get you (or your music), there's the moment you somehow meet the right person.  The moment you just know in your gut that this is the one I've been looking for.  It sounds cheesy, but when I met Adam Rossi, I had that feeling where it just clicked.  In that first meeting we talked about what we were looking for in a project, what he's done, what I've written - and for the first time I was able to really communicate my vision for this record.  He gets it, and I totally dig him for that reason.

I'm a lucky girl, and I can't wait to get back in the studio!!!
