About The Album
As my debut album, If Love Were A Season, weaves together years of half-written songs, random verses, and melodies that have been sitting in the "vault" since I was a little girl. After years of saying, "What if," I starting asking "How," and diving deep back into my musical roots. I began putting this album together with no real direction except the desire to make music ~ and share it with the world. Along the way, I realized my final tracks were starting to have a common feeling of nostalgia and romanticism, and as a lifelong nature lover from the "Northwoods," they all drew on natural imagery to express meaning. As I started to pay more attention to how the songs were speaking to me, I started to see how the phases of love reflected in the rhythm of nature's cycle. Spring teaches us how to begin and how to believe in something even when it feels fragile. Summer shows us how to be fully present in love ~ to let it be expansive, warm, and alive. Fall reminds us that change isn't loss ~ it's transformation and a settling down, a quiet choosing. And winter... winter teaches us to slow down and find meaning in stillness. Winter also teaches us how to get through the dark days... how to stay. The songs on this album embody these themes. They move with us through the cycles and just like the seasons, they don't always move in a straight line. They return, they overlap, they echo each other. This album is an invitation to trust the changes, to learn from them, and to let the seasons of love ~ and life ~ guide us. I wanted the album to reflect real, natural experiences that we hold with us. At the same time, I wanted this album to be uplifting ~ something positive that can move with us through the seasons... Music we can come back to again and again... just like love. Singles from the album will drop using a waterfall release ~ slowly over the next few months as the seasons change. The full album will be released in the Fall of 2026.
About The Songs
If Love Were A Season
As the title track for the album, “If Love Were A Season,” embodies the theme for the entire album: a nostalgic, reflective exploration of love that embraces every phase ~ not just the easy ones, but the ones that ask you to stay, grow, and begin again. As the “heart” of the album, this song imagines love not as a single feeling, but as something that changes, deepens, and returns in cycles ~ just like the seasons. Throughout the song (and the album), nature isn’t just imagery. It’s lived experience that reflects real moments ~ long nights sitting by the fireside… a slow drive by the lake… coffee cooling as you watch the sunrise with the person you love sitting beside you. The song embraces the reality that love, like the changing seasons, isn’t static ~ it grows, it challenges, and it renews. Produced by Allister Quade, Pinnacle Pointe Studios
The Dawn Chorus
I love animals, and I really love birds ~ I am drawn to their sense of wonder, their songs, and the freedom they symbolize. This song is rooted in the natural phenomenon when birds sing loudly together around sunrise, called "The Dawn Chorus." This is when birds feel the strongest, with predators still asleep, and they tend to sing loudest in spring and early summer. The calm and quiet early morning helps their sound travel farther, and birds use this time to attract mates, claim space for nesting, and signal that they survived the night. Some also just use this time, when it's too dark to forage, to pass time by singing. This song uses "The Dawn Chorus" as a metaphor for the times in a relationship when you feel strong. After hard times, after uncertainty, you feel safe to sing loudly with the one you love. Produced by Allister Quade, Pinnacle Pointe Studios
April Rain
“April Rain” is a reflection on the uncertain seasons in love ~ the moments when things feel gloomy or unresolved. Drawing on the imagery of early spring, when heavy rain eventually leads to summer’s bloom, this song is about learning to trust that even the darkest days are part of something necessary. The lyrics serve as a reminder that times of struggle aren’t signs of failure, they’re what makes growth possible. There is a sense of patience and hope woven throughout this song ~ a belief that warmth is waiting for us just beyond the clouds. “April Rain” creates space for the imperfect moments in a relationship… those that test us, but ultimately make us stronger.
