So, my album’s finally out. Seeing the huge billboard of me and posters of me made me feel nostalgic of my last album release, which was seven years ago.
The past
As much as I hate to admit it, I was never fond of my past as a singer. I would get embarrassed when people who didn’t know me refer to me as a Myanmar Justin Timberlake or a pop icon. I mean, I think popularity in Myanmar is based on album sales and the shows performed. In all honesty, none of my albums in the past made it big nor I had to sing in a lot of shows. I might be known because I came out as one of the youngest singers in Myanmar during the era where the youngest would be only around the twenties. So, somehow I feel a bit jaded when my friends get the idea that I’m this rockstar who’s released four albums in the past.
The present
I’m proud of this album only because I worked on it on my own. Of course, I had a bit of help from here and there from my friends but everything in this album had to run by my decision to do things or not. It’s all about me as well as I’ve written most of the songs, thus my album being named ‘Biography’. At the risk of sounding like a show off, I’m glad to say that I’m quite proud of this album.
The future
The future looks quite trickily unpredictable. Only because the audience these days have become too educated and curious in more than one genre of music. Before, it used to be one guy who made it big and everyone liking that guy or anyone who can perform like him. However, it seems like a great opportunity to experiment my types of music but at the same time, it’s normal to be nervous, I guess, about the acceptance I might get or not get from the audience.
Nonetheless, what’s done is done and all I need to do is to wait for what’s to come out of this Biography album.
