Issue #17 — Friday, August 11, 2017
Original cover art for “The Child in You.” This is probably not the final version for the album which is planned for release by the end of 2017.
Kharlie M is finally recording again. Production has begun on a new 13-track album entitled The Child in You which should be completed later this year. So far, three tracks are complete: the title track, “Birthday Song” (track 5), and “Bless Baby” (track 9). Though all of these were previously released, the title track includes some extra instruments and backup vocals, and all of the audio production is new. In addition, most of “A Tale of Three Brothers” (track 10) has been recorded; tracks 7 and 8 will get some additions as well.
You can hear completed tracks at Kharlie’s SoundCloud profile page or at kharlie.com/000.
