Christopher Lawrence Comments On Initial State
I just saw this on Jive and thought I would share it with everyone.
--------------------------------------
JIVE: So who have you signed to Pharmacy Records other than yourself?
CL: So far just me. I’m talking to some other artists. We’ll see what happens. It’s going to officially launch in February of next year. I want to put out some of my own stuff first and try it and make sure everything is in place before signing somebody and going, “Sorry, I’m not really ready for you.”
JIVE: From what I understand, the last week or so, you’ve been closing with one track?
CL: Jonathan Allyn.
JIVE: There have been some questions about that actually.
CL: Yeah, Jonathan Allyn did a neat track that’s really good. He handed it to me when I was playing in Atlanta last Friday. He actually gave it to me before the party so I listened to it on my laptop, and I was like, “This is a good track.” And I never do that, I never play things out that people give me the same night. I always take them home; listen to them in the studio. It was just really good. I kept looking at it and trying to decide where it would fit in my set. I thought the energy on it was really good and I decided, “You know what? This would be a really good closer.” And it worked fantastically; it was the closing track for my set. And so I did that again the next night, and last night, and everyone really seemed to like it. So, we’ll see. That’s the advantage to starting my own label. I can road test tracks and then I know whether it’s worth putting out or not. If it works on the dance floor then it’s probably worth putting on vinyl.
