Something significant happened today. The final clean vocals are recorded, which means my active part in creating this album is officially done. There’s a strange satisfaction in hearing your voice captured one last time, knowing it completes something you’ve been building for months.
Vlad will spend the next month mixing and mastering everything we’ve created. Watching him work is fascinating – he finds details in tracks that I never noticed during recording. The production process reveals layers that exist but weren’t obvious until someone with different ears starts shaping them.
January feels realistic for release. ‘Will I See You Again’ sits completely in English, which feels natural for where my songwriting has developed. The language choice wasn’t deliberate initially, but looking back, every track demanded English to express what needed expressing.
Now comes the visual side – album artwork, preview clips, all the elements that help people understand what they’re about to hear before they actually hear it. Finding the right aesthetic for this collection feels important. The music has its own personality, and the visuals should reflect rather than compete.
Today brought genuine relief mixed with excitement. Completing an album creates this specific emotional combination that’s hard to replicate through anything else. All the late studio sessions, vocal takes, arrangement discussions – they’ve led to something finished and real.
The waiting begins now, but it’s a different kind of waiting. Not anxious, just patient.
