Today was one of those studio days, where I was immersed in a world of sound and creativity, surrounded by new faces and unfamiliar energies. It's always a gamble, hoping that the chemistry clicks and the session becomes a fruitful one. My brother, Finn, and I have been locked in trying to craft this album, but it's been a struggle. I'm not one to force inspiration; I want the songs to flow naturally, and to come from a place of genuine emotion and connection.

Being signed to a label adds another layer of pressure. There's no room for hesitation when they say it's time to make another album. It's all about getting down to work, regardless of whether you're on tour or not. But for me, music isn't just about churning out hits on demand; it's about capturing moments, emotions, and experiences in their purest form.

Amidst the hours spent in the studio, there's a silver lining - the time I spend with Niara. We've carved out our little creative sanctuary within the chaos of recording sessions. Writing and recording our songs together has become a cherished escape, a way to channel our intimacy and emotions into something tangible. 

"Hey, I wanna run that part back," I say, leaning in closer to the mixing board, my brow furrowed in concentration as I listen intently to the section where Niara and I come in together.

Niara's gaze flickers at me, her eyes searching for some form of validation. When it comes to making music together, she always seems to retreat into herself, like a shy, nervous version of the talented artist she truly is. It reminds me of my struggles with self-doubt when I was younger, and I'm determined to help her break free from that insecurity.

"I like the lyrics," I reassure her, reaching out to gently squeeze her hand. "But I think we could tweak the verse a bit. On your part, I want you to focus more on harmonizing, really blending with the instrumental rather than emphasizing the lyrics too much. It'll help our voices blend seamlessly and elevate the overall sound."

"Is it okay if I take a water break?" Niara asks, her voice tinged with a hint of hesitation.

"Baby, you don't gotta ask to get water," I reassure her, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Go hydrate yourself."

As Niara heads off to grab some water, I sink into the seat next to my brother Finn, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement coursing through me.

"I'm really feeling this song, Bil," Finn says, his eyes lighting up as he cues up the track. As the music fills the room, his expression shifts, becoming more focused as he listens intently.

"Yeah... that's why I wanna release it," I reply, my voice laced with a touch of uncertainty as I watch his reaction.

Finn nods, his gaze fixed on the screen as he listens to the song, his expression thoughtful. After a moment, he turns to me with a grin.

"You know what? I think you're onto something here," he says, his tone filled with excitement. "This track has real potential. With a bit more tweaking, it could be a hit. The real thing is if it's what Niara wants or is even ready for. Having her first released song with a big artist like you"

As Finn's words sink in, I feel a surge of both excitement and trepidation. He's right—releasing a song with Niara could be a big step for her career, and I want to make sure she's comfortable with it.

"I'll talk to Niara about it," I say, nodding thoughtfully. "But I think she'll be on board. She's been really passionate about our music lately."

Finn smiles in agreement. "Yeah, she's got real talent. I can see why you two work so well together."
