ROBIN BECK
Robin Beck has been hard at work on her new studio album - here is an update on that and more:
"Hello everyone.... It's been a while since I wrote my last news letter to you, but I really wanted to have some great stuff for you to read.
It's been an interesting year... My life has been filled with glorious surprise. Getting back together with one of my favorite songwriters was a big one for me... I am speaking of my dear old friend Jeff Kent... Back in the 80's we worked together constantly and when I was ready to compose the songs for Trouble Or Nothing Jeff and I met up in England. We wrote ''Jealous Hearts" and " Sleeping with the enemy" and lots of your other favourites in the following recordings that came out on different records.... Funny... they were called records then and now they are just called CD's... I prefer records... The Beatles and the Rolling Stones made records and if it's good enough for them it's good enough for me.
My last record was "Do You Miss Me" and I have to say I was very happy to have put myself back into some sneakers after all those years of running around bare foot and pregnant and then playing mommy to my now co-producing daughter Olivia.... She sure has grown up and is letting me know exactly what I should be singing these days.... In fact, it's because of her that Rock'n' Roll is a dominant feature in our household... she just loves it. Like they say... "out of the mouths of babes..."
I've been very busy singing and co-writing songs with my producer and husband James. For those of you who don't know that's James Christian of the famed House Of Lords.
We started a year and a half ago doing "World Upside Down" for HOL and I worked together with James doing all the backings and I co wrote their song Gone, which you can find on the Japanese releases... I've been told it's a favourite.
Now I'm in the mixing stage of my own record titled "Livin' On A Dream". OMG... that's all I can say.... I wrote just about every song but 2 on this one.... I've waited years to get my work out and here it comes.... Along with my writing partners Tommy Denander, James Christian and Jeff Kent... how could I go wrong.... I even pick one up from Jimi Bell, a genius in his own right that. I feel this is my best work to date.... I know you must think that I have to say this kind of thing to wet your appetites but I think your gonna want seconds after you've had a minute to digest this one.... It rocks hard and has total emotional range. There are some goodies on the record, but I won't tell you where they are... you have to listen and either remember or figure out what it is.... Nope I'm not gonna tell you where, just listen! It will bring a smile to the faces of the fans who loved First Time then and now.
I am also in the process of putting together a new DVD of my personal journals and behind the scene travel consisting of the entire "Trouble Or Nothing" years. This is how it really was for me and you get to see it uncut and unedited.... My own reality show.... I didn't know it then but I was already in one. I'll be back in touch right after the release of the record... In the mean time please visit my website at robinbeckrocks.com and drop me a line.
I love hearing from you... it always brightens my day... Till then... Love, Robin."
