New album sound (James)

[Gustavo Rocque]

Gustavo was just getting out of his car as he looked up at Rocque Records. It stood proud and true and still beat Hawk Records, the very place that had tried to diminish the pride of his building for years. Many artists had came and went under his leadership, his mentorship, and many more would find their way to him. It just went to show that as time went by he became older and wiser. Suddenly a car screamed past him and he waved his fist at them. "Hey I'm walking here...do I need a sign that says I am? I don't think so...so next time why don't you look where you are going?!" Gustavo really hated drivers sometime, the slow ones ticked him off just as much as the fast ones. It took forever to get to his own work, ugh, if his place were set up anywhere else he could very wall walk there and never miss a beat or new artists that crawled into his office from wherever they had crawled out of. The sun was high up in the sky that day and he found his long sleeve shirt was sticking to his rather hunky form. Yes he knew he had some weight to his body, so what? He didn't view it as a problem...merely a lifestyle he could not give up.

Climbing up the stairs he walked in and nodded his head at his secretary. She was filing her nails, as usual, and he didn't want to humiliate her again, not knowing if she was talking to her mom. He had made her cry so much one time he was brought before her thundering woman, not an easy woman to talk to when her lips were moving a mile a minute. Going to his office he looked at a reminder that he had an appointment with James today. Heaving a sigh he walked in and took a seat, looking professional as he waited for his dog to make his way there.

[James Diamond]

James Diamond's morning routine went a little fast that morning since had to work with Gustavo. Rather than taking a morning shower, he had gotten one last night. So the time was spent being able to actually watch television and eat breakfast at the same time. His breakfast wasn't anything special, just some bacon and a bowl of cereal really. Once he was done watching whatever was on t.v., he placed his empty bowl into his kitchen sink and made his way to change out of his pajamas.

Once James was in some clean clothes, he grabbed all of the things he needed; his phone, keys, wallet, lucky comb and a few head-shots and left out the door. His new place wasn't as close to Rocque Records as the Palm Woods was. It was only about a fifteen minute drive really, which wasn't too bad for him. Instead of actually parking at Rocque Records, James parked down the street at one of those huge garages for cars and would always walked the rest of the way.

Stepping inside, James waved and gave the sectary a big smile. She was always nice to him and even gave him some chocolate on Valentine's Day. It was obvious that she had a crush on him, but he didn't mind it. He was use to being so attractive.Rushing to the elevator, James just hoped that he wasn't making Gustavo wait for a long period of time. He didn't want to be yelled at.

Poking his head into Gustavo's office, James gave him his typical dorky smile before walking in. "Hey Gustavo!"

(It was perfect, just like James)

Gustavo was waiting for James when he finally decided to show up. "Dog sit down and close the door on your way in here. I don't want anyone listening in on us. Hawk is still bent on beating me and with Big Time Rush no more and you in the spotlight much more I don't want to take any chances. Now listen up, for your album I was looking over some of the songs. You sound great on most of them, however, you still need to work on the chorus a bit. I know you have matured as an artist since your group days...but that doesn't give you the right to slack off. It is important that this album continue the success of your previous album, which I admit earned rave reviews from the music media. While you are under my label it is also important to note you should be here before me, it shows that you are ready to begin. Also...stop flirting with my secretary!" Gustavo yelled as he placed his hands on his desk. He wanted to make this absolutely clear to his star, and dog.

Taking a breath he took a seat again. "Look, I understand it is natural for you to wink and smile, but could you wait till after you have left the building? Find yourself a girlfriend, stop giving her ideas that things will go beyond valentines and unrequited love. We also got to do something with your image, sharpen it up, maybe play on the bad boy image. Are you getting all this?" Gustavo asked as he steeled his fingers together and looked across the desk at him. It was important that he not repeat himself, other wise the room would shake like always.

[James Diamond]

"Okay" James said simply and followed the orders of his master producer Gustavo. When he heard him change his image, James looked down at his clothes. When he was younger and just started with the guys, he would have immediately said yes. But now that some knowledge got stuck inside his brain, meaning Logan taught him how to fend for himself and grow a bit of a back bone, he would say no to little things. "But I like my clothes"

"Whoa, whoa whoa!" James said and stood up, defending himself. "I am not flirting with her. I'm just being nice, besides I mean pretty sure she doesn't think of me as a romantic interest. I mean shes like your age, so yeah" James smiled. There were certain subjects that he was just simply amazing on and romance was one of them. That and make up and how to be good looking. Also he knew how to make a really good grilled cheese sandwich. Not everybody knew how to do that. "Don't you ever smile at her?" James asked, and once he had finished his question the answer screamed inside of his mind with a big 'NO'.

"And besides, I already have a future girlfriend in mind. So if she does ask me on some sort of date, I'll just tell her no." James said with a smile on his face while the thought of Lucy finally dating him danced in his head.

"So for one of the songs, I was talking to Lucy Stone and we thought that we could do a duet of some kind." James said, once Gustavo had mentioned one thing he wasn't good at he was going to find a way to impress him and Lucy, of course. "Maybe like a rock song, one that could be on both our records?" he questioned, hoping that Gustavo would say yes.
