November 4, 2012 – Santana Lopez releases much anticipated first album "Story Time"
That's right, today is the day my first complete studio album drops… and I am a nervous wreck. How could I not be? This is my first album, people have only ever heard me sing in YouTube videos of my old performances.
So here I sit running through all the tracks in my head, trying to make sure that I remembered ever last detail before the album drops at midnight tonight. I run through all the editing we did to make sure I didn't miss anything, I run through the track list for the billionth time, but just like the last fifty times I inspected the album, not a single note is out of place. Damn Tennman's editing team for being so flawless, if I have to sit here and wait with nothing to fix, I think I might just die.
"Santana take a break! For the ninetieth this album is flawless, technically, vocally, musically, flawless!"
I know Quinn is right. I am not going to find anything wrong with the album and I know I should be really happy about that. The truth is I think I am just nervous about sharing this much of myself with the world. This album is called "Story Time" for a reason, the songs in it are about stories from my life. I mean people already know I am a lesbian so there is no fear there but I still can't help but think that a lot of the most personal songs I have ever written are on this album. As if she knows what I am thinking Quinn says:
"May I remind you that when you were making this album, I asked you if you were sure you wanted to share this much of your life with people and you said yes."
"I know Q."
The truth was I did want to share this much because I feel like my fans deserve it. Somehow I have a fairly large fan-base and that's amazing because they have nothing to be fans of except for my old bar performances. Anyway these fans have changed my life and if I didn't have a reason to make music, I do now. My fans have really become my driving force for making this album, and I want to give them something concrete that will make them feel like they know me.
I calm down a little bit. Just taking that second to remember who I am, where I came from, and why I am doing this helped to calm me down.
"You could use a drink, let's go," Quinn says matter-of-factly.
I swear it's like she can read my mind, no wonder she's my manager.
