“Beauty,” my new album, releases June 27th on @grimalkin.records ! Produced by my dearest friend @mthemyth . Cover photo taken by @carlystarphoto . Outfit created by @timothywestbrook_ . First single, “Waiting For You To Get Home,” is out now! This album is about one of the most tumultuous, confusing, and dark times of my life. During the pandemic, I found myself in an abusive relationship. It took me years to mend, but I was writing these songs during that time. A few are older but they held me during that time. I want to say the biggest thank you to my dear friend and producer, @mthemyth , for taking this music on, being nonstop supportive, encouraging me to keep going, trusting me, being there for me during this heavy time. Thank you for being my light, my mentor, and a great friend. I want to say thank you to @grimalkin.records for taking me on with this album once more. Giving my music a home in this world. Thank you for your tireless work building platforms for marginalized voices. We are changing the world one step at a time… one queer voice at a time! The proceeds of the tapes will go to @palanteharlem here in NYC. To reduce poverty and advocate for safe housing by organizing, educating, and empowering New York City residents. You can pre-order “Beauty” now! 🦢 #newalbum #5

Today I turn 32 (3+2=5) A year of 5, a year of challenge, change, and transition. What I’ve learned is no matter where you are in your life, there is always an opportunity to create a new beginning. I think that we have a tendency to become stuck in comfort, conformity, structure, and what we know. While I won’t condemn tradition, the only constant in life is change. Whether that be work, relationships or even your ethics and morality… ever evolving change requires growth. To change is to grow. To question ourselves, our motives, our healing, and leaving all that does not serve our dreams. While mistakes are the brilliance of our humanity, may we always be unapologetic and brave in carving our path to tomorrow, for a better you, me and world. 📷 @lacebuanalakwatsera_1925
