24 Iris Long is Back (2/2)
”What did you say, you brat?!”
And yet another one…
”Mr. JJ, I want an acoustic guitar as accompaniment for this song.”
”Brat, it's better to keep this song as raw as possible and focus on the emotional impact of your vocals instead. No need for other accompaniment. Just the piano is enough.”
”Hmm…fine. But I still want to try another version with an acoustic guitar. Then we can just choose which version sounds better.”
”You brat! You don't listen to what I say!”
Although the two argued a lot because both were extreme perfectionists when it came to music, they would always find a way to grudgingly compromise with each other. These compromises always produced songs that left everyone in the recording studio, including Iris and JJ, in shocked amazement.
All 13 songs were successfully recorded and polished to their final versions. Next was shooting the music videos. Both JJ and Iris wanted to release the album as soon as possible, so they shot all the music videos for the 13 songs every day in just two and a half weeks.
Everyone was exhausted but seeing their artist Iris Long working nonstop without complaints, they gritted their teeth and worked just as hard.
After a two-day break, Iris was once again busy posing for the album's cover and promotional posters.
Finally, Iris' part in the album production was done and JJ's record label took over to put everything together. She felt so exhausted that just opening her eyes took extreme effort, but this was the first time in her two lives that she felt so alive. Her blood sang with excitement.
She could hardly wait to release her album and hear her music being played everywhere.
Almost two years since the accident and her abrupt retirement from showbiz, JJ's record label and Bright Summit Entertainment Company officially announced the upcoming release of her new album.
Their message was clear.
Iris Long was back.
