Brooke White Blogs About Michael, MJO & “Life Is Okay”… taken from Brooke’s myspace www.myspace.com/brookewhite … A little background on how Brooke/Michael teamed up for this beautiful duet! (Thank You Jane/Cakelulu for bringing it to our attn..)
Up next, well so let’s talk about this little duet “Life is Okay”… okay, so a while back, around the end of the tour actually Michael Johns was talking about this soundtrack he was working on for this Shaun White Documentary. And one day he picked up a guitar to show me this song he wrote that he thought would make a good lil’ duet that kinda fit my style and asked me if I was interested… I thought it was really catchy , and really nice of him to ask me, so of course I said, sure! A little while after the tour, he called me up to remind me about it, I hardly knew the song, but we went into the studio, I learned it and with in a few hours we put down the vocals. Shorty after I got to hear the master, I showed it to my family and they loved it, but it wasn’t ready to be released yet. Quite honestly I wasn’t exactly sure when it was going to come out, or to what capacity it would be used. So with the craziness of everything over the last few months, it had kinda slipped from my memory. Then last week I was surprised when I recieved several comments and messages about how much everyone was loving “life is okay”… then I found out that it was released on MichaelJohnsOnline.com. I was SO excited to hear such a positive response from everyone. I know you all have been patiently awaiting new stuff, and I have been unpatiently waiting to show you new stuff… so in the meantime, it is super cool to have this original duet with my talented Austrailian buddy, Michael Johns for you all to feast your ears upon. Supposedly there have been a few people in the southern states who have heard the song on the radio… woohoo! This is excited, so if you love the song, request it and let your local stations know your into it! You never know… Also, I believe as of yesterday, you can now download the whole soundtrack on itunes!! So if and when you actually get done readin’ this ridiculously long blog,
go get it!

Thanks for the blog Brooke!!! The new song is soooo fantastic!!! We all love it!!! I hope I get to hear it on the radio!!! Congratulations to you both for creating this masterpiece!!!!
This song rocks. It is not crappy POP but yet is very catchy. The melody kicks ass, it’s groovy, and sticks in your head. It could be a classic. I hope MJ or Brooke (or both!) puts it on their solo album.
What could put this song on the air, if Brooke and MJ do some performances with this song. Maybe they could tour together for a couple of weeks?
