<div>Oh hai! It's been a quiet couple of years for me publicly since my debut album, Savor This, was released in 2021. I hope that you are all doing magnificent.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To be frank, it's been tough few years for me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My father and Oma passed away, and I've experienced some personal challenges including severe depression and anxiety.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The silver lining to the last few years is that through the tough times, I've been able to channel my emotions into creating a cache of new songs that are unlike anything else I've written.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These songs are extra special to me. Due to the depression, I lost pleasure in regularly writing and playing music, but my baseline state of anhedonia was occasionally punctuated with an intense urge to write music as a way to move through overwhelming emotions. Lyrics and melodies would flow out of me very quickly, and before I knew it, I had about twenty (mostly finished) songs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This coming album will have tunes that are emotionally raw and vulnerable, but also playful and sexy. It will explore themes such as self-loathing, yearning, travel, romance, surrendering, hope, and loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It will be very different than my last album. It will be more poppy, and have way more piano than guitar. Catchy yet unique. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In my humble (and maybe slightly biased opinion), it's going to be really, really good.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know these songs will resonate with a lot of people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've already been able to work with a producer a handful of tunes (thanks to previous donations!), but there is still much work to be done. I'm not rushing this process, but I expect the release date to be in August 2024.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The album title will be called "Woke Up On A Train".
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are inspired to help me with this process of creation, any donations you can give would be so, so appreciated!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donations will go towards producer and recording costs, music video creation, and more.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read this!
</div>
<div>With love and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Kailee
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>PS I've snapped out of the depression, and very ready to get out there in the world again :)
