Eigentlich ist die Idee hinter seinem neuen Album gar nicht schlecht, aber das ganze wird es nur digital geben:

The Yearbook album: Goodbye CDs!
Over the past decade the music biz has been in a downward spiral and continues to follow an out of date model to sell music. With album sales dropping every year, I've decided to focus on digital distribution and release new music every month via iTunes and other online retailers. My new album "The Yearbook" will consist of 12 songs, released a month at a time, as I record throughout the year.
The Yearbook album idea came to me at about 6am last month when I was just sitting around brainstorming after making some beats. When it hit me, I really got too excited to sleep so I started writing down how I wanted to approach this project. Seeing as it was already December and I wanted to have the first song released in January, I didn't have much time to get things in order.
Initially, I thought it would be really cool to have each song relate to whatever is going on in my life at the time... ultimately, composing a yearlong "documentary" so to speak. What I didn't realize until I started recording is that if I'm going to be blogging/documenting everything throughout the year, what would be the point of saying the same things on the record each month?
That's when it dawned on me... Keep the blog interesting, document the process; keep the music interesting, WRITE HOT SONGS! If this project gives me the freedom to do whatever I want, then I won't limit myself to the same format each month. It's time to bring good music back and start taking risks!
I'll see you on Jan 15th with "The Best"
