Rest and Reflection
This is how I feel
When I'm staring at the clouds,
Laying on the grass with my back on the ground..
Album is uploaded! Release is on Sept 14th. It may take longer on some services.
The new album is nearly finished also. Finishing art and masters and we're there! ❤️
An RnR Cover Album called Inspirations is being planned.
I realize I got all excited about release then, it never came for another 6 months. There are personal and technical reasons for this.
Soon. Hopefully very soon.
The album is STILL in final preparation, with some newly recorded vocals and other bits.
On a separate note, I just started work on a new single dedicated to Ukraine. Rest and Reflection is a generally upbeat, happy project, but this song won't be.
Stand strong, Ukraine,
Make it through the pain.
I was expecting to have the album released in a few days but I got a concussion the other day. Release will be soon, I just gotta get through this.
How's everyone's new year so far? :)

A big post is coming shortly.
I just paid for Distrokid. That's a huge step towards the full album release of Rest and Reflection.
I was thinking of releasing a single yesterday but but didn't get around to it and today I'm not doing super great so maybe I will tomorrow.
I am THINKING of releasing a single today. Any thoughts?
Getting some good work done on the Solstice single!
Who can see this post? Testing.
Working on a Solstice single called Dream of Solstice.

This whole process of this being my 1st cross platform release is really intense and a little bit scary but intriguing and enticing. Who is excited to hear what's to be heard?

I'm so excited! Gonna share the updated final art right here! I hope to drop this album within the next 2 weeks to a month.
I have a lot of promotional work to to do and I also have to figure out a distribution service which I probably will be using Distro Kid.
If anyone I know has experience working with that site let me know.
We are soooo close to the debut release!! Finishing up the art!
This album release is gonna make my soul twitch. That's a good thing.
