Some things take a long time. Especially when something great is trying to be achieved. Such is the case with my latest record. I've been in three different studios and two different states striving towards its completion. I suppose with art, one becomes a slave of the creative process. Sure, an artist can force things to be done because of a deadline, but the art almost always suffers. Fortunately (and unfortunately) I have no deadlines. But let's be honest... this thing needs to get done soon. Everything is waiting on it. Everything depends on it. I'm all in at this point, so what's the point of cutting corners though? I'm going to see it through with the same energy, involvement, and passion I had when I first walked into the studio. For the record, I haven't been recording this whole time. The majority of the time has been spent writing and rewriting these songs until they reach their zeniths. Thank you everyone for being patient. Here is a possible song list for the record.

So Happy to see "Parachutes" and really surprised "Firework Shows" didn't make the album cut. Haha...I know it isn't easy to do what you do and I also know this record will be amazing. I cannot wait! It does take time to produce good art, and I just hope when you do release this next record, you are extremely happy with it. It's your life, your gift. ***MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT***
