In addition to our wonderful spring show, After Hours is so happy to introduce our album, “I Love You So”. We will be sharing some behind the scenes inspiration of what lead to the creation of the album and what it means to all of us. To start off this series, we will hear from Zoe who proposed the idea and Paula who made it all possible😊

✨From Paula: “Something really special about this album is that the songs in it stem from almost 3 generations of After Hours- some voices inside the songs graduated two years ago while others just joined the group this fall. Some songs are senior solos while others are AH classics that we wanted to immortalize so we can sing along with each other when we’re all old and far away (my children will grow up thinking we are the Beatles). We are a family, no matter when or how long someone has been in the group, and this album is such a beautiful compilation of people and eras that mean the world to us.”
✨From Zoe: “I went to Paula to propose a new AH album in Dec of 2021, so I am ecstatic for it to be out in the world! For me, I Love You So is the perfect encapsulation of my 4 years in After Hours. It features solos and arrangements from the upperclassmen I so looked up to when I joined the group all the way to the sweet voices of our fall 2023 newbies! As I graduate this spring I know I will always have this collections of songs to listen to and relive my wonderful years in this group.”

We hope you will all love this album as much as we do💙 taken in Cape Cod, Massachussets by @urafterhours
