Album Release, "History" Music Video, + Release Party Reminder!

Hi hi hi I'm so sorry I haven't written you all yet! In case you didn't know, today is album release day AND "History" music video release day! It feels amazing and also I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day, thus the very belated post! 

I think I have a lot to cover, so I'm just gonna break it down...

ALBUM RELEASE

- Ok this still hasn't quite set in because I've been going at a billion miles an hour since I woke up, but there have been little glimpses, momentary pauses, where I see someone's tweet or comment or email about the album, and then it HITS me, and I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude and magical feelings I can't quite put to words. I don't have the full brain capacity to speak about this moment eloquently right now, but expect more on this later. Namely the part about YOU MADE THIS POSSIBLE AND I CAN'T HANDLE YOUR AWESOMENESS.

PHYSICAL ALBUMS

- I JUST (actual moments ago) finished signing all the pre-orders, so if you got one, please forgive my tardiness! They're now en route to a shipping warehouse and hopefully will begin being sent out to you at the end of next week! I'll also be sending you a link where you can stream it in the meantime  (right after I finish this post)!

HISTORY MUSIC VIDEO

- It feels like this should be a section here, but I'm running into 1. my brain is gone, and 2. I think I want to let it sit for a moment before I talk about it.

ALBUM RELEASE PARTY TOMORROW!!!

- A reminder that I'll be celebrating the release tomorrow with whoever will join me! I'll be sending out the link to the show tomorrow maybe an hour before we go live, at which point you can start posting questions for the Q&A! I'll be singing songs off the album, answering questions, and hopefully having more of a brain than I have right now. 

- It's going down at 1PM Pacific Time. Google can do the timezone math for you :)

CONFLICTED

- I am currently conflicted because I wanted this post to be really meaningful and tell you all the things I've been feeling these past few days, and today, and mostly tell you about how grateful I am for what you all have done for my music, but (sorry for all the brain talk) when I try to access my brain right now I really feel like I'm coming up against a wall. And because you all are so awesome, I want to do that part right, so I'm going to save that for another time. But just know I feel a lot lot lot and that this album release feels just as much yours as it is mine and how cool and awesome and crazy is that.

THE END?

- I guess this is the end of this message??? I so hope you enjoy the music video and the album and ahhh you're so amazing ok!? Ok. Off I go then...

Sorry I just got around to watching History now, but OMG it was PERFECT!!! And most non-fans won't even realize the skill it took for you to write backwards through all of it (except the end - which I cheated and used my turned-off phone to reflect and read because it was backwards for us - but that part pushed the video past perfection it was so So SO SOSOSOSOSOSO good!!!). Can you tell I loved it? Ok, the end. <3

Hey Kina! We just moved from California to Utah- woke up at 3:30am to start the drive and I listened to your whole album front to back while the sun was rising over the hills in the forest. What a magical album. Still trying to find meaning in some of the lyrics but I think with time it will come :) can’t wait to see you play live in SLC this month!! Ahhh! I admire all that you’re doing, Kina. Trying to learn from your path that you’ve paved for us, emerging singer/songwriter/producer/musicians 😉 can’t wait to get the physical copy either. Love you!!!

Great song and video! How did you do that video? Didn’t see my name scroll down but that’s OK, maybe I’m too far down in the Patreon list and don’t contribute enough. Still love the song ( I don’t think you could do a bad one ). 😊

I couldn't get sick of this song if I tried to. It's truly a gem. Congrats on everything! May this be an incredible chapter in your life! :)

Yay i'm so happy for you and for the new album.. congratulations for everything and so grateful to share this experiences(album,songs, your awesomeness, etc...) :) and also a very beautiful and unique music video, first time I saw a video like this (I think it's tough to write in reverse or unusual way)

Can't wait to listen to your album when i drive my Chevrolet Cruze ;) Will be my first physical CD i play in my CD Drive. And it will be an honor to have your signature in my glove box just like oldschool days. So happy for all the doors opening for you in the next months. And i so wish i could be at your Toronto concert. If i can have a day off from work I'd love to see you live would be a really special moment for me. Sending all my love to you and Imaginary future. Enjoy the ride you're diving into ;)

And, umm, may I ask a question about the line ‘I stayed home on New Year’s eve" tonight? – Unless, of course, it is a very private thing.

I am as much excited this time as I was eight years ago for the Stairwells release!

I listened to it from start to finish twice today. I will probably go for a third tonight ❣️

I'm enjoying your new songs! I've also played, "Beth", "In the Waiting", and "All Along" quite a few times today. 😄💕

Kina, so excited for you and the album, as I sit listening to it as a collection. Despite being familiar with the songs, I feel an overwhelming new energy! Here's to letting our brains be and recharge :) P.S. I loooooooove how you did this video and how it reminds me..

I don’t know what else to say other than congrats on the best album of 2018 and what a creative superstar you are!
