“Patience Is Strength”- Update #1: Dangerous Curves

Hello everyone!  My stage name is Sabs Johnson (I’ll get to the origin of the name in another update), and for those who don’t know – two months ago, my life completely changed for the better.  I received a phone call from a recording company who heard my music and perused my MySpace page the week prior saying that I was ‘very talented,’ and began the process of sending me a contract for the very next day.  A dream that I had since I was 12 – and now?  I’m literally holding said dream in the palms of my hands.  I received it, combed over it, had others in the industry comb over it, had even lawyers comb over it — and, after I was comfortable and convinced it was right for me?  I signed on the dotted lines and my occupation officially changed to ‘recording artist.’  To even dream about this moment was one thing.  To live it?  Is yet another – and I haven’t come down off my cloud yet!

I’m targeting the official beginning of my project to be around December 11th.  It, more than likely, will be sooner – for that is the next big-time date I have circled on my personal calendar!  :)   I’m going to make things much easier for the in-house producers once my album begins.  I’m walking into the studio with 30 songs I’ve either written myself, or others have helped me write – all detailing things that are on my heart.  Right now – I’m going through the last stages of pre-production – that is, I’m formulating, formatting, composing, arranging and writing (in hard copy) all the songs that are to be submitted.  I currently have 25 songs musically written – and 25 songs lyrically written.  So I’m giving myself all of November and the first full week in December to finish the rest of these songs, and learn them.  So I’m in a great creative space, right now.

The title of the project is going to be, “Patience Is Strength.”  Now, it has general significance, no question, but it’s more personal for me – because it is the meaning of my first name.  The material is going to range from the romantic to the political to the social to the sensual to the spiritual – because all those types of issues are a part of who I am as a man and as a person.  It has taken me almost five years to actually write this album the way I wanted it to sound.  I’m about many different topics – and I’m also about many different genres of music, as well.  Know that I do not musically discriminate.  I love diversity in every aspect of my life – and I want my music to reflect that in every way.

One of the songs I’ve yet to lyrically write is part of the actual title of this thread, “Dangerous Curves.”  I was asked, or commissioned, to write a song for a friend of mine’s ’The Curve Network,’ by the man, himself.  I thank him, and their staff so much for the opportunity to write something so near and dear to me – sexy, voluptuous, enticing full-figured/big, beautiful/thick/plump/plus-sized/fat (all of you take your pick) women!  I love them – and I will always continue to love them – whether others lampoon me or not.  My philosophy is this:  I’m not inviting them into the bedroom.  I’m not trying to impress them with the woman I date.  I’m trying to impress MYSELF and my genitalia!

Anyway.  Off my soapbox.  I plan on making this a weekly ‘segment,’ so you all would feel as though you’re a part of it – because, truthfully – you all are!  I love all of you!

Many blessings!
