hey guys! i am so excited to let you all know that expectation is finally out on streaming! it took a little longer than i was expecting, but the album is finally starting to roll out on streaming services, like spotify, amazon music, apple music, and more! you can find it by searching for "journiie" on all platforms, but just know it might be a bit difficult to find right away! since it is brand new and has like no streams, the streaming services probably aren't pushing it super hard yet, but just keep trying! over the next few days it should get even easier to find! also, if it is missing on any streaming services, that will also sort itself out in the next few days, don't worry! also, i just wanted to give a quick update about the scratch project with all the songs! unfortunately, the project that i shared on my birthday got taken down by the scratch team. i wasn't planning on taking the songs off of scratch, but i don't want to press my luck even further and risk getting banned, so unfortunately it will be staying this way for now! i'm so sorry about it, but hopefully it isn't too much of a hassle to listen to the album in other places! below, i have copy/pasted the description from the old project so it doesn't get lost! --- hello, and welcome to the release of expectation, the album i've been working on for the past (almost) six years! i've explained a lot in my last few projects about this album, so definitely make sure to check out those for updates on when the album is going to be on streaming and all sorts of other details! now, i wanted a moment to talk about the album itself. as you may know, today, november 21st, is my 18th birthday! i chose to release this album today to mark the end of my childhood and the bridge into the rest of my life. that is why i purposely chose the tracks i did, because i thought the collection of these 16 tracks told the complete story of who i have been up until this point in my life. the themes talk about growing up, friendship, loss, family, insecurity, and healing, and completely summarizes my life perfectly i think. it includes the very first song i ever wrote to a song that was written only 3 months ago. it includes a combination of the old vocals/production to the songs which i felt were important to keep the same as they were written originally, to vocals and production that was literally finished earlier this week. ultimately, each song is very deliberate and intentional, and sounds the way it does for a reason <333 i hope you love it as much as i do :) 01 - i hope you never know 02 - doors wide open 03 - expectation 04 - real life 05 - hits me hardest 06 - glassy eyed 07 - afraid to forget 08 - the wheel 09 - wasted potential 10 - ride or die 11 - dragonfly 12 - call it quits 13 - stars & battle scars 14 - part of the plan 15 - i love you 16 - blueberry pie and, as always, all written, sung, performed, and produced by me <333
