In Love With The Preacher's Daughter

26. She IS Music

Koko's outfit just imagine her with straight hair

The song she sings

"August, you gotta push at this part. You can't sing all soft you got to put that emotion into it. Cause if you don't feel it the listeners definitely won't" Koko's voice came through my headphones

She keep stopping the music while I'm trying to record critiquing here and critiquing there. I appreciate it cause I know she knows what she's talking about but it's frustrating and we been here forever it's going on 1 in the morning.

"I hear you, let's try it again" I mumbled and Knuck played the track

9 o'clock, home alone, paging you,

Wishing you'd come over my place after while

Let me know we can just keep talkin bout

the last time, you were here what we did

(No sleep til mornin)

only bubble baths and back rubs

Hit me back, Girl I hope you ready cuz

Iiiiii'm (So anxious) ohhh

So meet me at 11:30 I love it when you talking dirty

Said I'm so anxious, girl would you quit the stalling

Know I'm a sex-a-holic

Iiiiii'm (So anxious) ohhh

So meet me at 11:30 I love it when you talking dirty

Said I'm so anxious, girl would you quit the stalling

Know I'm a sex-a-holic

It's 10:10-" I was cut off

"Stop" She reached around Knuck and paused the music

"Bruh what da fuck" I huffed and she walked toward the door leading into the booth where I was.

I snatched the headphones off my head and looked at her "What now?" I asked annoyed

"August lose the attitude I'm just trying to help"

"Help? By constantly critiquing everything I do, I never have these issues in da studio til you come and now there are some issues. I just be vibing, Ian never did this many takes." I snapped and she sighed

"Look this shit is my passion, it's my oxygen taking it away from me you might as well take my life. I've been singing since I could talk but I didn't get this good by myself I had help. I told you how my family and I call my Daddy Ike Turner or Joe Jackson, you know why because that man is the sweetest person ever but when it come to music he turns into a whole nother person."

"He trained and drilled my siblings and I in our music endeavors from the time each of us were 3 whether it was an instrument, singing, or both. Like he'd get so serious if you mess up he look at you so crazy he told my brother brandon once boy if you don't that right I'ma beat you. You know how to play it get it right. My brother was like 24 and my daddy talking bout he gone beat him, we knew he wouldn't really beat him but he's serious about his music."
