Okay, okay...
Hmmm, most of you are probably expecting a review of saltlight's This Way Up album launch from Saturday night, huh? It's very surreal - I've been fielding questions, phone calls and emails for the past 36 hours about it. It's funny reading reviews on blogs. Hearing people talk about the music, the album and the live show. Finding out why certain people like certain songs more than others, and being so amazed that they're touched at all.

As the executive producer, I'm ecstatic about how it all turned out. The entire team worked sooooo hard. I can't express what a great job everyone did from the ground up. The turn-out was huge - we almost hit 500, which is pretty cool given that there were 3 key weddings and 1 birthday on the same night, which took away anywhere from 100-200 people from our probable audience. Yes, they were predominantly Asian (due to the huge groups organised within certain churches), but I'm hoping and praying that now the word will spread to other churches, especially given that there were small groups from some Caucasian churches there. Also, playing at KYC next year and selling the CD in the bookshop should raise our profile. Not to mention FM103.2 and Koorong, once that all settles down. Yes, there were lessons to be learnt for next time (wow... next time), but I couldn't ask for any more from anyone there. Absolutely fabulous effort, guys!

Personally though, I'm having mixed feelings. I'm the kind of performer who is always down after a performance - I can't help it and have been like this since primary school! One minute, I'm buoyed by a comment from someone, or by thinking back to something that worked well, the next I'm just really quiet and melancholy about nothing in particular and everything in general.

Overall though - I just can't stop giving thanks and praise to God for bringing it all together and giving us a reason to live and to sing!

Hehe, might do a full review later.
