Some of the process and intentions behind the release of my latest song.

I laid down a rough instrumental track with some loops and layers, last year, then forgot about it. When I remembered it not long after and played it back, I started singing, and these special lyrics streamed out, of me! I recorded myself singing it, and shared it here last year. Then I forgot about it again.

It popped up in my memories on my phone a few months ago. It moved me when I listened back. I knew I had to record it professionally and release it.

I have several songs that include vocals that I have not had the courage to release because I haven’t felt great about my singing voice. I have had some training, since I was young, but being in environments that were stressful made me shrink away from this part of myself.

But in the last few years, things have shifted. I feel more nurtured and safe. I got some extra vocal coaching to help my confidence from coloratura Singer Talia Skeen Young (Kitka), and reached out to six time + Emmy award winning producer BZ Lewis for a recording session.

We recorded it in one day earlier this week, and it’s now ready for you on my Bandcamp page. It will be available on streaming services on September 26, 2026.

The cover art I created, with pastels, colored pencil and watercolor.

I now listen to it at night before I got to sleep a few times. It helps me center and remember my peace. I hope it helps you tap into something deep within yourself and to persevere, with love.

Yours in the making of it,

Kadie

P.S. Tomorrow, Friday, and on Bandcamp which means all proceeds go to the artist (“Bandcamp Friday”). You can purchase the track for $1.50 there and download it to your device. Tomorrow would be a good day for that.
