Toronto-based singer-songwriter and keyboard player Michelle Willis has worked with everyone from Iggy Pop to Snarky Puppy and now embarks on her own with this debut solo album, funded by her fans via crowdsourcing. The culmination of six years of writing, Willis says each song deals with attempting to get to the other side of whatever she was in. Often that meant making a decision or speaking up, or just holding tight and not being afraid to stay the course.
"Each of these things required an action I was often afraid to make. These songs were my encouragement to myself, an extra tug to keep trying, to aim for it. The music was never written with an album in mind, but when it all came together as one project the pieces all seemed to fit. Sonically, it features warm, dark and rich tones from the band ... it’s almost a jazz, soul and hymn-like approach to the songwriting structure, with a heavy dose of lead and background vocals intertwined throughout, because ... why not more vocals?"
