jLine Sound Album
We’ve had the pleasure of recording lots of tracks with the pop singer jLine. He’s been on MTV, toured the country, released several albums, and performed with awesome acts such as opening for Lady Gaga. So naturally, we were incredibly psyched and excited to work with him when he asked us to produce his new full length album ‘Sound’.
On the last few jLine albums we just recorded and edited his vocals, and mixed and mastered his tracks, but we didn’t actually get to write any of the songs with him. For this album, jLine wanted to get us to write the instrumentals for him, and I can’t express how great it was getting to work on original songs with jLine. We did everything from R&B ballads to Electro-pop club bangers, pretty much classic jLine. The instrumentals we composed were nothing compared with what they turned into with jLine’s vocals and his rhythm additions. I hope I don’t embarrass him by revealing this, but as you all know, jLine is an amazing dancer, and he used his dance skills to communicate rhythmic ideas. It was one of the coolest ways we’ve ever had a client direct our composition. We’d listen to the track together and jLine would be working through some choreography as it played and dance out where he needed some extra drum hits or instrumental breaks.
After about two months of non-stop work on this album, we’ve finally rapped it up. Writing the songs was incredibly fun, tracking jLine’s vocals was as pleasant and amazing as ever, and the hard work of editing, mixing, chopping up, and mastering was as rewarding as any music producer could hope for. I know that jLine will be back to work on some more tracks, but in the meantime, I’ll just have to listen to this album on loop to hold me over. You can find out more about jLine at his website and you can buy the ‘Sound’ album here.
