A Lovely Day (One Year Later), now available for Purchase & Streaming!

Do you know what today is? It’s my Anniversary!!

Anniversary?! Yes y’all, today is the anniversary of the debut of my IG Music Series, “Between the Notes and Me!” It’s one year later, and I decided, why not officially release the well-received Episode 1: A Lovely Day, for Purchase & Streaming!

Ep4: ‘I Say A Little Prayer’

As a year was approaching since I started this passion project, I had been thinking of how proud of myself I was- to get out of my head, get out of my comfort zone, and just share my gifts! No more waiting for the perfect time, or perfect production, or even caring about how it will be received. I learned that only me, was holding me back… And in the same breath, only me could be the one to release me from the mental and emotional boxes I hid myself into, that really did no good… for anyone.

Before the pandemic, I was in a whirlwind of a relationship that ended abruptly and dramatically. I kind of lost myself in that relationship, and unfortunately, when it ended, not only was I absolutely devastated… But for the first couple months, I felt completely lost.

I was investing my all into building something with someone that had no intention on investing, nor pouring into me. It wasn’t until I started to heal, and face myself in the mirror- acknowledging my part, and the red flags that I chose to ignore, that allowed for space and opportunity to reclaim not only my time, but my voice.

I found myself again after healing, post heartbreak, stood unapologetically in my identity and voice again, and I truly haven’t looked back since! I love that for me!

‘A Lovely Day’ available on all streaming platforms

Now that the tea is officially spilt… *officially* released ‘A Lovely Day’ via DistroKid, and you can purchase & download/stream on all your favorite platforms (Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, etc.) Downloading and Streaming it will be much appreciated, but as an independent artist, *purchasing* the song (for .99 cents) would realllly be supporting me as an artist, so thank you! It feels great to be Artist Verified, but you know I’ve been an artist ever since I came out of my mother’s womb! PERIOD!! 

Purchase & Stream 'A Lovely Day'

Purchase & Stream ‘A Lovely Day!’ It feels great to be Artist Verified! POW!

Releasing a song in this capacity is just one way I’m showing up for myself. This is just the beginning. I have original material that will be rolling out, in this way, at the top of the year, and I’m excited to be on this journey with you by my side!

As always, I’m navigating what I feel is my purpose and Higher calling, just as we all are, and I’m so glad to have a growing community of support! If you’d like to join my monthly newsletter, which is where I share all my exclusives and inside scoops before they go live, you can join here.

Thanks for reading, listening, and supporting,

2020 Came with Highs and Lows...

Whewwww chile!

We are finally wrapping up 2020, with 8 days left of the year!

I spoke in my last blog post about my feelings and responses to what this year has brought me, and I have surrendered to it all- the highs and the lows.

What I am grateful and excited for is the Age of Aquarius we’ve just entered into, just two days ago. The Great Conjunction, where Jupiter and Saturn come into alignment (every 20 years), happened on the day of the Winter Solstice, for the first time since the 1600's! This new era we’ve entered into is definitely shaking things up, both personally and collectively! To give a little background, Jupiter and Saturn are quite the opposite in terms of functionality. Saturn rules over rigidness, limitations & responsibilities. Whereas, Jupiter’s generosity partners up with wealth, wellness, & fun!! The opposites have come into alignment for collaboration, which will challenge the rigid institutions that have no longer been serving us for a long while, and the collective energy is pushing towards more equity and less discrimination, more community and less isolation, more love and less projection of hate. The Great Conjunction also happened at zero degrees, which nullifies all that was, to provide a blank slate for anything that we want to cultivate moving forward.

All of this gives me energy and hope, as I continue to manifest my heart’s desires, going into this new year (and beyond), and I’ve honestly been feeling personally ecstatic about my intentions and manifestations for 2021 and beyond. I definitely feel a shift! Some projects brewing, upcoming releases, and overall dope content I have planned for y’all in 2021!

Speaking of content, y’all really showed me love for Ep1 of Between the Notes and Me! ‘A Lovely Day’ surpassed 1.7k views on my IGTV, and I even got a cute 600+ views on my new music YouTube page. I’ll take it!!

And with that said, I dropped Ep2 yesterday, which can be viewed originally on IGTV, and uploaded on YT (watch below)!

I had a blast composing this arrangement, and I’m not gonna lie, it was challenging! But I’m learning and pushing through my limitations as a vocal producer, and am growing through each project I show up for, and for that, I cannot complain!

Thank you so much for the support and love y’all are showing me on Between the Notes and Me, this is the tipping off point for so much abundance of my artistic gifts, and expressing myself authentically (no more hiding)!


I’m also now on TikTok, and yes I feel old, but I’m having fun!!

Lastly, I know the holidays can be a place of pain and sorrow for some, and that does not miss my consciousness. I hope that in sharing my musical gifts, I can bring some uplifting vibes and positivity into your sphere. I am leaning into the energy of a better future, with a new year, new administration, and the collective energy of equality so many of us are feeling and advocating for! I will see you on the other side in 2021!

Until then,

Kris
