NewsThree weeks ago, I promised new tracks coming in the new year…
Well, I’ve done one better, and recording one track last week! So here it is, the first new track of 2008… “Chirpy wheels”.

As usual, you can listen to the track using the media player. This is track #1 in the player.

So after taking a break from recording to solely focus on writing new songs (and also writing a novel), I’ve slowly inched my way back to recording.
At the moment, I am working with a couple of singers for a few songs of mine, and I also intend to record some other songs with myself singing. It basically depends on the style of the song - some are very much me and I want to sing them myself, some others were written with other singers in mind and I couldn’t do them justice on my own (yes, folks, my voice has got limits lol).
So from January, expect to see a lot of activity again on this website, with hopefully a new song every month. The sky’s the limit… kind of!
Also, I’m having a sale of my RachelAPP “Fire in my head” debut album - yes, RachelAPP is the name I used to record under before using my real name Nat JM - and it is available as a professionally duplicated CD for only £4 including postage, wherever you live in the world!
