  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    As a solo artist, I am accustomed to making music alone, but never as critically as this. Time in isolation with my thoughts and machines has become a matter of survival—a way to cope with physical distance during the pandemic, and a way to process recent responses to systemic racism. In early March, I began writing and recording a new project—my reflections on quarantine in these turbulent times—made entirely from home. Today I am pleased to present THE OTHER SIDE, and I hope that you find in it a source of catharsis, human connection and imagination.

    THE OTHER SIDE is dedicated to my LGBTQ+ BIPOC siblings, especially those risking their lives and livelihoods to advance positive social change. I would like to thank God for the opportunity to create music. I would also like to thank my husband, Might, for the energy to undertake this work. Additionally, I would like to thank Steffen Gillom, Henry Benefield, Da’Mon Butler, J. Joseph, Jenny Rider, and Jennifer Fouché for their insights, encouragement and support.​     ... more

The extra set of housekeys The second car The shirt you wore last week Still on the floor The things we choose to keep Your nakedness beside me Your scent, your hair The lingering I love you Beneath the stairs The sound of you asleep The cruel reprise of summer The light of day The chain of life unbroken Yet we've been changed Like patterns on the sea When I Close my eyes I picture you there Imagine that you're waiting Waiting On the other side When I Close my eyes I picture you there Imagine that you're waiting Waiting On the other side A touch so overwhelming It's hard to see Today, much less tomorrow It's hard to breathe Without you next to me Tonight

Time knows no distance That I won't go for you Hold on Time and persistence I'll show my love is true Hold on Three weeks without you babe I'll send a signal to your line Six weeks without you babe I'm losing my mind Nine weeks without you babe I'd risk the world to feel your touch Twelve weeks without you babe The pain is too much Time knows no distance That I won't go for you Hold on Time and persistence I'll show my love is true Hold on

Something More Than Love 06:36

We were not gold We were not fire No one’s desire No, never Titans But we had built a road A way to find the peace we’re looking for A prince, a toad A heavy load A heart of lead And out of time A wasted miracle Still something to behold Had alchemized And turned this book into A cheap parody The games we played made Me afraid to turn the page With you Their war-torn souls Their time expired Your brand-new fire I watch in silence And wait beside the road Because I'm never keen on keeping score The prince, the toad You bear the load The heavy the crown That I require It's worth its weight in gold But doesn't fill the hole I feel inside I'm thirsty for your touch That sweet remedy The god I worshipped When my designs had failed Long may be the night But go on, go on living Heal their wounded sight And keep on, keep on giving Fill my world with light And special, special feelings Talk to me tonight Cause I need I need something more than love Their war-torn souls Their time expired A thousand fires But not one Titan I wait beside the road Because I'm never keen on keeping score The prince, the toad You bear the load The heavy the crown That I require It's worth its weight in gold But doesn't fill the hole I feel inside I long to hear your voice That sweet melody Like rushing waters From blessed lips I praised Long may be the night But go on, go on living Heal their wounded sight And keep on, keep on giving Fill my world with light And special, special feelings Talk to me tonight Cause I need I need something more than love You need We need I need something more than love The world needs We need I need something more than love
