Rawness and vulnerability is a strong theme in my upcoming album “Muscle and Skin”. All the songs deal with outer and inner perceptions, from others and within ourselves. I’ve posted a new secret song demo on my bandcamp, a song called “Let The Rain Pour”, which deals directly with this theme. I wrote it when I was living in New York, trying to find my place in the music scene there. Trying to be a good person and a good musician first, amidst a very image-driven industry. I was in a crossroads about washing away the make up, the hair dye, and letting my inner truth speak for itself. This song encapsulates that fully, and the pitfalls that can come with getting famous or rich too quickly, burning out that truth before it is fully realized. I feel so much more comfortable in my skin now, and mature about the statements I want to make in the music I create. Let The a Rain Pour is simply about letting “the soul lose the need to impress” and finding real love and empathy vs validation. Exposing hardship and struggle provides the very platform for relatability and empathy, for that is the place our real selves stem from, giving us the tools to handle anything, to take on any challenge, the building blocks of true growth. I recorded the demo under a blanket (make shift vocal booth!) in the living room of my queens apartment, where I was basically renting a futon. Visit my bandcamp *link in bio* to nab this demo and help me finance the mixing and mastering of my new album! You can pay more than $1, but if that’s all you can give, that will help immensely. The lyrics are there, and don’t forget that if you donate more than $100 to my album, you will receive a handmade lyric book with large 8X10 photos of the album art. I have added a “Donate” button on my website too that makes it very easy and direct. Thank you to all who have already supported me so far, and I can’t say enough how excited I am to unleash these new songs on you all. Bring it! Much love, and happy Monday! ⚡️🌊 #mondaymotivation #secretsongs #demo #lettherainpour 📷 by the infallible @makeitdylan (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RHiGyhpNC/?igshid=1j0gmw5o7g77k
