Marie Digby updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (April 2), talking about a delay in her second U.S. album. The singer songwriter tells readers:

You guys probably don’t know this but I have been without a manager for 6 months (and for the whole making of both the U.S. and Japanese albums). That may not sound so hard but trust me .. it is. A manager is supposed to help take care all of your business so that you can concentrate on just making art and being a musician.

Because I haven’t had a manager, I’ve had to take on that responsibility and it’s been quite a challenge. I’m looking so hard to find a new manager but for the time being, it’s just me.
The album is completed but I am just doing the final touches on the artwork. I just handed in my album ‘thank you’s and there is of course, a special thank you for all of you.. the most special thank you… You’ll see it in a few months :)

My album was originally supposed to come out in May but I asked for it to be pushed back because I need more time to find a manager and make sure that we have the perfect set up for the album. I need to make sure that everyone knows about it before just releasing it!
There’s so much to releasing an album guys… I had no idea but it takes careful planning and great promotion. Although, I’m really lucky with what’s happened on YouTube, it’s put so much of the control in my hands because I can say whatever I want and present my music however I’d like without having to filter it through anyone. That’s what I love.. and I think that’s why I have been able to create such a special relationship with so many of you.

Marie Digby checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (January 30), talking about her love of astronomy and the follow-up to her debut album ‘Unfold’. The Los Angeles based singer songwriter tells readers:

The recording process for this album is now complete! I had a very intense and difficult meeting with my label to choose which songs actually made the album. I made so many wonderful friends during the making of this album and it was hard to choose … some people’s songs made it, some didn’t. I love them all.. it was kind of heart breaking but I know that all songs have a way of surfacing over time.

If you guys are interested, some of the incredibly talented people I worked with are on my top friends and you should check them out …

‘Unfold’ is my debut album.. it is the album of my dreams. It chronicles my life from age 15-23. It is a page in the story of my life …

For this next album, I wanted to try something different. The lyrics would remain my truth, my story but I wanted a whole new landscape sonically. I wanted beautiful melodies, and I wanted beats That is the concept for this album.

Marie Digby checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (December 31), returning to Los Angeles after working on her Japanese album in Tokyo. The singer songwriter tells readers:

The hardest part about coming back home from Japan? jet lag. It doesn’t matter what time I go to sleep, I am WIDE awake at 5 am. :)

At least now the sun is up… the depressing thing is waking up while it’s still completely black outside !! lol

Anyway, I thought there’s no better time for me to wish you all a Happy New Year!! I can’t believe all that has transpired in the last twelve months. What a lucky girl I am… At the beginning of this year, I was still in limbo… wondering when my album would actually come out. All of this wonderful stuff started coming my way with the sudden success of my silly YouTube videos… I was overwhelmed by the support and I knew that my album wouldn’t have a chance without that. Thank you to all of you who have ever taken the time to listen, to watch, to write. I hope my best way of really thanking you is to keep making great music that you all will enjoy. That’s why I am so excited about this next album!!

Marie Digby checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Sunday (December 21). The singer songwriter tells readers:

I’ve been in the studio now for about two weeks and we are finally wrapping up the recording for the Japanese album. Just about done with all vocals for 12 songs!! I’m so happy with the way that it’s turning out. I had a lot of worries about whether or not I’d be able to pull off doing a whole album in my second language.. if I could learn the songs quickly enough.. etc but it’s all turning out fine! The team I have out here is amazing. My producer Satori Shiraishi (top friend on my page) is fantastic and everyone else has been super helpful. I hope this is just the start of doing more domestic albums in Japan.

Marie Digby updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Saturday (December 6) as the singer songwriter awaited her flight at LAX to visit Japan for the holidays. Digby writes:

I can’t believe I’m finally heading back to Japan. This will be my first Christmas in Japan too! But I have so much work to do while I’m there… I’m a little stressed, I’m not gonna lie! But I’m excited too. Next year is gonna be BIG. HUGE. GINORMOUS! and that really doesn’t look like a real word.

Marie Digby updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (October 30), still dealing with her MacBook short-circuiting after her mother accidentally spilled a glass of milk on it. The singer songwriter tells readers:

As soon as I get my new computer.. I want to bring you guys into the studio. Every single day, I’ve been tucked away in a studio (I was there from 1pm – 2am last night !) writing new songs for the next record. I am SOOOO excited about the stuff that is coming out of me… and I wish you could all see it as it happens. So much has happened to me over this last year and I feel like I’ve got a lot to say and a new perspective.
