My debut album, Volume One (I Left You Before You Could Leave Me), features 9 original songs inspired by my poetry, plus a bonus alternate version of the title track. This collection explores the universal theme of love and loss across a diverse mix of genres, including pop rock, alternative rock, indie-pop, soul/R&B, hip-hop, electronic dance, techno, and country.
The album opens with the title song, I Left You Before You Could Leave Me, an upbeat ballad about two strangers whose powerful connection feels rooted in a past life. But when emotional withdrawal sets in, love becomes a painful lesson—one that ends in a preemptive goodbye to avoid abandonment.
Each of the remaining songs on the roster carries its own emotional weight:
-
If You Love Something (Set It Free) reflects on sacrifice and the complexity of letting go, inspired by the well-known proverb attributed to Richard Bach.
-
Follow Your Heart is a catchy, upbeat track about emotional disconnect and the hope for reconciliation in the face of past trauma and overthinking.
-
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder channels classic country, capturing the ache of separation and the deepening of love in someone’s absence.
-
Let Me Not Be the One You Spurn explores vulnerability, fear of rejection, and the inner battle between desire and self-doubt.
-
Dancing Under the Moonlight imagines a silent connection between two shy souls, with a daydream of romance interrupted just before it can begin.
-
Something Up Your Sleeve delves into suspicion and heartbreak, revealing the emotional unraveling caused by infidelity and deceit.
-
I Underestimated How Important You Are in My Life reflects on regret and the pain of realizing someone’s worth too late.
-
I Lost Myself for a While examines the cost of losing one’s identity in love, and the journey back to self-awareness and healing.
-
The Alternate Bonus Track of I Left You Before You Could Leave Me closes the album with a fresh arrangement blending indie-pop and alt-rock vibes.
Volume One (I Left You Before You Could Leave Me) released on January 24, 2025 and is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, YouTube, Amazon Music Unlimited, iHeart, Pandora, and other major platforms.
