Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I've been struggling with a few things in life. In career. And, I've chosen to channel them into my art, doing what I do best….music. Coming either New Years' Day, or shortly after, I am releasing a brand new album of a different animal. It's aggressive. It's edgy. It's SO left field from my usual writing that with the two music videos that are currently in circulation on YouTube, I've cloned myself from 22 years ago and used that persona as the main visual character to represent this new material. It's also the first predominately  AI album I've thrown out with my name stamped to it. Make no mistake, I can sing these songs. However, I was challenging myself to be consistent with the style and format of the material being presented. I've played keys on everything you'll hear. I've deconstructed every track, put it all back together again, and processed each sound to get what I was looking for. I had a vision in my head. Hell, I even had a smell come through! I thought back to college days. Dorm life (which I never experienced), but the allure of it….The smell of a worn leather jacket, cheap beer, seedy dive bars, my life in NYC circa 2002-2008 (I was there til 2014, but, these years in particular stood out for specific reasons…) Brooklyn, Red Hook, Coney Island, ChaChas, people watching in Washington Square Park--wondering how they function in social settings, etc…. I thought of a lot. Sitting in an old library, reading a good book, surrounded by college kids doing the same, everyone bustling with life, yet longing for something deeper. This is where the lyrics get deep. We go down the rabbit hole from here. You''ve got to get lost in your passion to manifest that joy…the one where you lose all sense of time… to understand where we're going. Disclosure is happening soon….I'll leave it at that. Seek out Bashar…some good advice to be had. Let this album warm you up to this concept. “We don't have souls, we are the souls…." -C.
