Hey Current fans,
Our pal Jill Riley has some big news to share with you — check out her note below!
Hello Current friends,
Remember a few years ago, back in 2013, when David Bowie dropped the news that he was releasing a new record (The Next Day)? Bowie fans were shocked, not only did he announce a new album on his birthday, but he released the single, "Where Are We Now?" Keep in mind Bowie had been laying low for about 10 years, a lot of people thought he had retired from music all together. How was it even possible that Bowie and his people were able to keep his first new record in a decade under wraps? It was a totally awesome surprise and everyone was pretty stoked.
Well, I wouldn't say this is on the level of a surprise David Bowie album, but I have my own little surprise news to share with you guys. My husband and I have been working on our own little secret collaboration project. It's been months in the making and we're finally ready to announce our own very special release. A baby boy! Surprise! Move over Lady and Chewy (my feline fur babies), your space is about to be invaded by a human baby.
I'm now officially on maternity leave. I'm really looking forward to this time away to bond with my child and I know I'll be excited to return to the airwaves when my leave ends.
Keep rockin' while I rock the cradle!
—Jill Riley
