Stevies new project

[Christopher]

You know I've been thinking a bit more into what Dave Stewart tweeted re: " yeah we are making "album" in a very new way"

Because recordings do not move huge units like they did in the old days w/ rare exception. Recording royalties for artists are drying up, and it's no longer cost effective to have big budgets for new recordings, as Stevie was very accustomed to!!

I infer that Dave means by "new way", that Stevie is making "album" w/ a much smaller budget & utilizing someone like Dave who is a multi instrumentalist & his studio equipped with all the latest modern recording technology & roaster of musicians to call upon, to record a new solo cd much more cost effective than what Stevies is use to.

Gone are the days of recording in a mansion for months on end (as w. SYW & OSOTM), And booking multiple studio's with multiple producers & musicians over the course of a couple of years (as w. RAL & TISL). She is reigning in and succumbing to technology because she has no choice in the current music landscape. There are very few record stores anymore, and limited shelf space in big box stores...So to release a new CD/ recording she must embrace the web!! Stevie no dummy. never has been. She is very practical and knows the reality of the music industry, even if she still hates tech.
