Listen to a Reimagined Version of One of
Your Favorite Songs from My Collection
Sincere, alluring, and like a movie are words that generous supporters like you often use to describe my sound.
The curiosity in me wanted to explore what would happen if we stripped away some of the (lovely) production from my signature sound. To up the ante, I decided to experiment with one of your favorites, “Made Of,” not really sure of what the outcome would be.
I’m collaborating with my long-time producer, Dave Mallen, to create an acoustic version of the song. The track is still in the works, so I am eager to get your take before we finish production.
Do you like the direction so far? Are you interested in hearing the final fully produced version?
Attend the Launch of My New Fashion Collection
From my early awkward starts, I’ve grown to love fashion.
So it’s a given that fashion plays an important role in my music. (Fun fact: The vintage dress that I wore for my “By Your Side” music video was a last-minute find from a local thrift store, and the original tags were still on the dress!)
To celebrate my forthcoming debut album with you, I’ve curated an album-inspired fashion collection that includes an outfit to represent each of the ten songs on the project – including the unreleased ones. I like to think of it as a visual album.
Ready to meet me on the virtual red carpet? Here’s your VIP ticket.
Listen to My Songs Like You’ve Never Heard Them Before
I remember my brother commenting years ago that one of the signs of a good song is that it can stand on its own even when the vocals are stripped away.
I’ve always been drawn to film music and other genres that are not vocal-driven. The process of aligning music and emotions without using words is such a fascinating concept to me.
So, I’m excited to see how my music fares.
Take a listen with me to the instrumental versions of my songs, and let me know how well you think they hold up. P.S. Dave Mallen, my producer, has some really cool sounds in there.
Meet My (Amazing) Creative Team ♥
I like to think that I’m a pleasant person to collaborate with (particular but pleasant, nonetheless), so I put this theory to the test.
I asked two key members of my creative team, Ruby Lucas-Pedigrew and LJR, to describe what it’s really like to work closely with me on a regular basis, as well as how they are instrumental in shaping the look and feel of my visual aesthetic.
Experience the Story Behind My Debut Album
Sometimes, we can be our own worst critic.
I am definitely guilty of this at times.
How about you?
More and more, I’m starting to understand that while setting high standards is important, so also is allowing ourselves the grace to be human.
In the following exclusive behind-the-scenes videos, I share the fears and negative thoughts I needed to overcome – most of them inside of my own head – to bring my debut album from vision to reality.
