official studio: https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/51701932/ ----- hello besties thank you for the support over the past year! i can't believe how long it's been since i first started posting music <3 during that period of time, beloved scratchers have come and gone, yet i'm still here after 6 whole years :') though thankfully the music community is still growing and there are incredibly talented people on here who i really look up to! i decided to do something special for my 16th birthday and have been planning it for the past few months, and the "it" in question is actually an old project that i've finally had the motivation to pick up again!! so i've been dropping some hints on my profile for a while and some people caught on :0 with that said, i am officially announcing my upcoming EP (extended play) titled "unhappy endings" !!! this project is a (not-so-brief) introduction to what the EP will be about and how i'll be promoting it <3 so sit back and relax and have fun scrolling :D ----- table of contents: 1. about the EP 2. my process creating it 3. promotion schedule 4. special announcement 5. outro ----- a b o u t this EP contains six original songs, including two that i've already posted on scratch. both are re-recorded with revised lyrics, so i'm super excited to share them! in addition to guitar as the main instrumental, some of these songs will feature cello playing! and also an attempt at piano and ukulele :> besides that, these tracks will contain minimal production because 1. i'm no pro lol and 2. i do intend for the sound to be more stripped-down one thing i'd like to note is don't take any of the lyrics as words of advice or anything, it's simply a 15-year-old expressing her train of thoughts. as you can tell by the title, the themes aren't the most positive and if sad songs aren't your cup of tea, you don’t have to listen. i don't intend for this to reach a huge audience (it's kind of just a self-accomplishment lmbo) but i hope the people who do hear it receive it well! this EP was originally going to be called "open wounds" because that was the title track, but as you'll probably guess i scrapped it along with the other old songs. funny story, this was actually scheduled to release sometime last year, so i set it all up on BL and then forgot to delete it after i obviously didn't finish recording everything, which means someone (maybe one of you guys) probably happened across an empty album on my profile at one point xD ----- p r o c e s s these tracks took sooo long to complete because i started back in june 2025 and stopped working on it for months... until i picked this project back up in late april of this year. throughout the process of writing it, i went through so many phases--some days i would have sporadic bursts of energy that gave me ideas, and then other days (and yes.. even months) i went without any progress. i think i just had high expectations for how i wanted this album to turn out, and a ton of stress and burnout stemmed from that. some more context: i actually had a complete tracklist back in july 2025, but some of the songs i just never finished writing or i didn't like them as much. in the end, i scrapped all of them except for two, and wrote new songs (during late april and early may) that made it into the finalized EP. these songs all feel very personal to me, and it's terrifying to be vulnerable about things, but this community makes me feel safe bc the people are really kind and accepting (and theres not that many people ahaha). you might not have thought that an EP with a great deal of negativity and not so much self-love could end up being healing for me, but it did. over the span of months that i spent writing these songs, i’d been able to open up about feelings that were buried inside. so it's just been really worth it overall <3 ----- p r o m o t i o n s c h e d u l e june 1st: release project (this) june 10th: cover reveal june 20th: guess the tracklist july 1st: tracklist reveal july 12th: EP RELEASE (at 12:00 am EST) ----- unfortunately i'll be out of town for most of june and for two weeks in july, so i won't be actively responding to messages, but i will be releasing all projects on their set date to the best of my ability! one last thing to announce! drumroll please.... s t r e a m i n g unhappy endings will be out on all streaming platforms on july 12th!!! EEEEEEE i cannot believe this is real i'm so happy <33 so grateful to my parents for this! ----- o u t r o i appreciate you for reading all of this, i know it was a lot! thank you guys soo much for supporting me, and i hope you stay tuned for the EP <3
