On September 1st, my new song "Harder Than Diamonds" comes out! To spice things up, we're giving away one of our brand new Spring Owls Eco-tees. LEARN MORE - https://bit.ly/HD-pre-sale "Harder Than Diamonds" is kinda dreamy and meshes a bird's-eye view perspective with a more personal one. While there's a story about the excitement of meeting someone new--the biggest of smiles and hardest of laughs, the chorus zooms out--hinting at common truths about life itself, often easier seen from a bird's-eye view. After years struggling to complete my second album, I took a leap of faith and moved to South Korea to teach English. That move transformed my life. I was immersed completely into a different culture, without an instrument, bonding with my students, falling in love with non-fiction, and discovering myself without music. It wasn't easy, but for the first time, I had perspective on my life. It was nutritiously humbling. When it was time to come back to the United States, I had no intention of pursuing music. I merely wanted to live in a big city with amazing weather. That landed me in Los Angeles--a beautiful city of creators. It didn't take long for me to feel inspired. I decided to scratch the itch and finish my second album--'Love Evolving' (a project I'd started in 2014). To revive the project and give it a dreamy sci-fi vibe, I launched a crowdfunding campaign and we raised a little over $10k to finish the music and create eco-friendly products. Now I'm here to tell you the first single from that project is coming out September 1st!

I hope it brings you joy in these difficult times. Carpe diem, Jesse | Spring Owls Learn more - https://bit.ly/HD-pre-sale
