14. My way

February 16th 1989

"Hello boys!" I said dramatically posing in the doorway of the studio holding Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis and a few other people.

"Penny!"

As I get older than name pisses me off. It was cute in the beginning when I was like 13-16 now I would rather die. I went in to hug Jimmy "I don't know how many times I have to tell you that name is getting old. Kinda like you." I patted his chest and went to hug Terry.

"Oh haha very funny." He rolled his eyes and I giggled.

Today was the first recording session for my newest album. The last you guys heard I was basically being forced to make another Control. After I made Ouch I was told it was "too bold." Regardless the song would be put on the album. After months and months of begging they finally agreed to let me do what I wanted with my album. I also threatened to not do the project if I couldn't have creative control.

"Im so excited for this year!"

"Really? Whys that?" Terry asked.

"Because it's the beginning of something new and the very last year of the decade goodbye 80s hello 90s. Im recording my third album after the complete hit of an album we released three years ago can I get an amen!"

"Amen!"

"Im excited to make history! I've done so much and im excited to do more you know?"

It's my first official year being in my 20s and im more excited for that. Aging is scary, it's always been but it's something we have to do so I mine as well make the best of it. I clapped excitedly feeling giddy. I haven't felt this happy about making music in a while. "I don't think I've ever seen you look so damn innocent in my life."

I stopped clapping and looked at him offended "what is that supposed to mean?"

"You look evil."

"Oh fuck youuuuuu! You do anything to ruin my experience."

Jimmy laughed "im not ruining your experience!"

I waved him looking at the booth more than ready to sing right in there. "Can we please hear the beat to the first song your honor?"

"For sure. Check this out."

Music blasting in the speaker I was instantly in love.

A roar came first then a guitar riff kinda like something you'd hear from a rock band but it was sick!

"Holy shit."

Both Terry and Jimmy nodded their heads to the beat. It was something you wouldn't be able to hear without dancing.

"See with this? I want you to sound like a rock n roll queen on it you get it?"

"For sure!" I said concentrating on each instrument.

"It's something you gotta get funky and more rocked out on!" Terry spoke last bopping his head.

"Who did that riff? Thats tight."

"David Barry!"

This instrumental was perfect.
