Chapter 22 (my first album)

[Sam J]

Hello everyone, I would like to share my album with you “Chapter 22” which I have made from home. It’s a mix of pop, edm and there’s a couple of garage and slower songs in there too. I’ve put my all into making this and it’s all about the awkwardness of casual dating, my struggle to trust in others, lingering on to past heartbreak and rejection, forcing some inner confidence but also it’s a celebration of acceptance in myself and proudly singing a about being a gay guy who is into guys. I’ve tried to push some boundaries with electronic sounds and create some dance songs which sound new and original but I’ve also been inspired by sounds of some of the classic pop albums such as Femme Fatale and ARTPOP and I can hear their influences on some of the songs on this album. I only started creating music this year as in the spring I discovered I could actually write a song and since then I’ve tried to find my voice and have done my best with singing these songs for the album as I don’t have any tools to edit my voice, I had to sing the songs the whole way through for recordings for this. I hope you guys like it as I’ve spent a lot of time on this alongside working in the NHS full time so have pushed myself. I’ve attached the link to the album playlist on YouTube below and embedded the first two songs underneath.
