Miko-d and Me


So,...now you know my name. But like Alfre Woodard said in the movie "The Family That Preys" she says "i'm still the mamma" and I am.
I've been wanting to get back into writing and doing vocals for some time but just have not really put my foot down to make that happen you know? It's always the kids or my business or my personal life that is always on the front line and never my passion to write and express myself through song.
I have a lot to talk about you know what with all that is going on. So I have decided to chronicle my steps back to singing and songwriting which only helps me be clear inside.
A couple of days ago I sent an instant message to my friend and producer Miko and asked him if he wanted to work on some new things. He was all for it only one thing was holding us up. I live in Camden, Arkansas now and he lives in Atlanta, Georgia still. So it's not like I can just get in my car after work and go over to his studio and lay it down.
So he suggested that we use the power of the internet to get some things done. My ears perked up hey I'm all for that! We would use ftp to get the music to me to write and arrange to and then I would do something he called "Virtual Voice" and record from right where I am. Heeey I'm liking this more and more.
Now we are embarking on something totally new to me anyway so don't send messages on my blog telling me how behind the times I am and all that. Just hang out and enjoy the journey with me root me on. That's all I ask.
So Miko is working on new music now and my job is to start finding the time to write songs or put down the words to the things I hear in my head. While he is writing new stuff or pulling stuff out of the archives I will tap into my life and my emotions and produce something else that I am sure will be different from what I had done on the first album.
Now in the meantime we decided to just pull some stuff out that we didn't put on the first album and offer it to you. I hope you like it and if you like that, then hopefully you will enjoy other stuff we put out.
Hey, I am even going to be ghetto and let you hear stuff that is not even mixed right! Now that will a hoot!
Welp I gotta go get the kids from school.
Cause no matter who I say I am ..I'm still Mamma and duty calls.

Til Next Time,

Mamma (Y've Kemp)
