Yay! I finally got my old laptop running again! Alhamdulillah! Thanks, Mom! Thus, I can continue work on "Woo Hoo". I started "Woo Hoo" way back in 2006, while I was still in the USA. Actually, it goes back even further than that, when the mysterious piano player put down his part on one of the songs, way back in 1993 (I think) while I was still living in Salt Lake City. Yeah, I'm slow, but since this is a labor of love, and love for Allah, I totally intend to be finicky and meticulous in the production of this album. SLOW SLOW SLOW. Anyway, I don't usually give away the concept of a concept album, but since I'm being so slow, I might as well this time. Not that it's going to make me work any faster on future albums. Anyway again, "Woo Hoo" is a concept album about the Curse of Allah on those who impose interest and slavery. The story will be told from the perspective of evil, except the last word will be from Allah. I'll probably be misunderstood anyway, but oh well. It is not the Plan of Allah to guide everyone. It is part of the general warning that all will be brought to face their deeds on Judgement Day.
I am in the process of finishing off the instrumental tracks, just tidying up and making sure everything is in place, so I don't have to backtrack. Then I will do the vocal tracks, which may take forever. God, I hate chick singers sometimes: damn divas! Then I will complete the storyline, which may take forever again. After that, the whole thing will be taken to America for the mysterious piano player to do his piano parts. I may have to go with the album to Salt Lake City. How many years so far? 5 years since 2006. Finally, it will be mastering, pressing/packaging, and distribution. Then maybe I'll set up a stall by the roadside, and sell mangos and cds. Might as well, seeing how destitute I've been kept.
But I'm sure Allah has a better plan for the music if it pleases Allah. InsyaAllah. I love you, Julia!
