Additional Details
So very excited to announce my single, “Baby, I’m Scared” is releasing on April 8th! The song came to me in a dream. Upon waking up trying to reconcile with the nature of dreams, the memories being familiar yet foreign, certain yet uncertain, I was so in awe trying to figure out whether this song actually existed or not. I figured it hadn’t and that it was my duty to make it exist. I remember hearing the song in the dream, it sounded like a romantic, male singer from the 70’s, crooning over a guitar. Maybe it was me in another life. Trying to transcribe its memorizing melody on my piano, I figured out this song was about the idea of being fearful in love and loving someone who was not only scared of being in love, but the world seeing it for what it was. It was the first song to be recorded in this new era of music and it might be my favorite.

“Baby, I’m Scared” is the fourth and final single released before new album, “Cycle,” releases under Grimalkin Records on May 13th.
