I'm releasing my second album later on this season. I'm ambivalent on what date I'm actually going to release it on. So.... I might as well talk about it. First question, is it any more differentiable from the cathartic "Nothing Sweeter" (2010)? IDK, sometimes I feel like I want to write music more truthfully about my life experiences and what not. Last time that came out as an uninterpretable blurb of depression. I started writing this album "Socialite" in the wake of my mother's passing from metastatic breast cancer sort of fantasizing what it would be like. Alright, not as much as fantasizing, but remembering what it was like having grown up upper-middle class in Oklahoma City. Okay, nonetheless it was pleasantly boring. And after moving to Dallas, growing up in the Dallas suburb of Arlington in 1997 which back then wasn't as black as it is now. Let's just say I did go to an all black private school in Oklahoma City and the transition was like leaving rural Japan for the deep south.
Non-surprisingly, my parents where not musical people. Although they did insist my sister and I study classical music, instruments, and voice. Thus began my decision to make music. Naturally, after a school discovered I could quote "SING". I decided on folk music, which slowly moved over to Rock which was admittedly more adventurous. So, when I finally got in the studio, things became a little more experimental. Sadly to say, this is my last completely experimental album as I will be progressing to more generic sounding music. Being young and all, I decided that this was the last time I'd play around with harmonies and melodies before finally growing up. The next record (Which is being written right now) is sounding more A.C., btw. Enjoy. ;)
