Labyrinth is officially available to the entire world. I don’t know where to begin to explain what this album means to me. I began writing this record in October of 2023 directly after a trip to Atlanta, GA — my very first of many solo trips to the city. That entire weekend was an eye opening experience for me. I felt so free, limitless, and powerful. It was the first sense of personal liberty I felt in my early adulthood and it was an experience that I needed.

This album is about discovery, freedom, hope, regret, persistence, anxiety, fear, and so much more. I hope that you are able to feel the energy from the music. It’s my most personal project to date and I’m so happy that it’s finally yours. These past 18 months (or so) flew by and it’s still hard to comprehend that this day is here. I have so many plans to showcase this record to you and bring the music to life. The story does not stop here.

Thank you for your support on “No Place Like Home” and your support of this album so far. It does not go unnoticed and it is forever appreciated. If you like this record, I encourage you to share it with your loved ones. This is an album for everybody, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, age, sex, etc.

I dedicate this album to my late grandmother, Carolyn Jackson, and to anyone out there who feels the need to escape. For those who often find themselves stuck attempting to solve the puzzles of life.

“No Place Like Home” is available EVERYWHERE now. It feels so surreal to release new tunes after nearly 3 years away. I learned a lot during my absence from music and a lot of it is discussed on the new album.

This song in particular was written in October 2023 when I was near the end of a dark spell in my life. The song is essentially about the feeling of becoming a stranger to your own world. It focuses on what panic attacks felt like for me—a consistent sense of unawareness and fear. I’ve included some footage of me during the production process in February 2024.

I hope this song is able to help others that suffer with anxiety and all around fear, whatever it looks like. I can’t wait to expand upon this song and the world that’s been built around it. I’m so happy to be back…and I can’t wait to celebrate this weekend.

Thank you so much already for the amazing support and love you’ve shown this song. It means the absolute world to me and I’ll continue to express that. I can’t wait for everyone to see what’s to come in the very near future. I’ve got some really cool tricks up my sleeve. Stay tuned.

love is bigger than time erased. 🤎

spent the evening with my bestie and the amazing @missjillscott. i cannot even begin to express how beautiful and magical this experience was. her new album ‘To Whom This May Concern’ remains my favorite album of this year and i’ve had it on repeat since February. i was so moved by the messages in the songs and the voice of Miss Jill Scott, which is a beautiful essence on its own. i cried during “Beautiful People” because i felt so overwhelmed with emotion. this album has brought me so much healing and has covered the scars i didn’t know were still there. i ultimately felt so grateful to be in that room with such beautiful people on the opening night of tour. ✨

thank you, Jill, for creating the art that you do and thank you for inspiring me to be a better artist but an even better writer. your pen is out of this WORLD. i am so appreciative of every ounce of love and honesty you put into your work. i receive it all, i love it all. you are genuine and i love your soul. i’m gonna try to relive this experience next month because once just wasn’t enough. the show being phones-free really allows you to take it all in. i highly recommend seeing this show and this beautiful, talented artist. 🎤 taken in Nashville, Tennessee by @jacksonmwatson
