Hi everyone,

I’m so thankful that all you guys are excited for the new album release!  I’ve decided to delay the release for a few more months…  I’m working with a new marketing team and I want to learn how to better connect with all of you before launching an album. I’m so not a tech-y person so the processes going slow…. But I love you guys — and if you wanna follow all the latest on my new album you can LIKE my page at www.facebook.com/sirsashekimmusic.

Beep Beep.

The time has come!  You all get to hear the new EP Black Into My Life, on 11.11.

I chose this special release date cause the number 1111 has always been super personal to me.

Check Facebook.com/sirsashekimmusic for “Eleven Reasons Why You’ll Love the New EP” and other surprises including six new videos, eleven new photos, and “Eleven life lessons I learned making this album.”

This album is perfect for anyone going through a break-up or major life transition. It’s all about shedding the old and making room for the room. The motto for the album is “The Only Way Out is Through.”

With excitement and gratitude,

xoxo  Sirsa

Dear lovely friends, It was an exciting month last month, between all the amazing response to the first single “Shot of Your Love!”  This month I release another song, and I am IN this music video! (Damn.)  You get to see shy Ms. Sirsa on the screen  (the directors and crew all knew that I had to down some shots of vodka to be able to film this video!)  Ha!

I’m going to release the song right here on the website, so please join back in on May 27th!!!

PS this track was inspired by watching lots of James Bond movies and Hunger Game trilogy as well!

Hugs and kisses <3    SS

Hello all my Italian-lovers out there!  Well, for whatever reason, even though I tend to be more of a francophile, lately I’ve been attracting all things Italian — Italian music producer, Italian car, and now I’ve also finished up a music video with Italian directors Enrico Le Pera and Gianluca Draghetti!!  (Goodness,  I even eat a lot of Italian food!)

I’ve learned a thing or two about working with Italians now — and well, for the sake of your own personal enlightenment, here they are.

“7 Ways You Know You’re Working with Italian Directors” 

1) When one of the directors has so much style that you end up borrowing his clothes and accessories for the video shoot.
2) When what Americans might call “ferocious back and forth squabbling between directors,” Italians call a harmless chat among friends.
3) When countless cigarette breaks pepper multiple days of shooting.
4) When any cold pizza is left uneaten upon the table top, regardless of how much hunger prevails.
5) When the word “Beautiful” is exclaimed and massaged over and over and over… “Beautiful!!” “Beautiful!” “Beautiful…..”
6) When everyone’s names has one syllable affectionately amputated in conversation. Federico becomes Federi, Enrico becomes Henri, Gianluca becomes Gianlu….Sadly, I didn’t make “the cut” until near the end of shooting when I finally became “Sir.”
7) And last but not least, when one of the directors, after a long day of shooting tells me that he is going home for some biscuits (more aptly biscotti I should say) and milk.

It’s been an exciting year so far, as when my Italian-based producer Federico  Ferrandina, made another cameo in LA, to help mix the last couple songs on my upcoming album, Black Into My Life.

I feel very blessed to have had the chance to work with no other than Dylan Dresdow, the amazingly talented mixer who has worked with everyone from Madge to Pink to MJ to Black Eyes Peas and more. He took time out of his busy schedule of mixing….ahem….Prince — to make time for the last couple songs on my album.

Dylan’s mixes are unique. They sparkle, they glow, and you can SEE them as much as you can HEAR them and FEEL them… He has now mixed half of Black Into My Life, and the other half of my album has been delicately mixed by dear producer Federico himself.

All in all, what can I say.  I’m grateful.

It’s all music to my ears.    —- xo   S
