Miranda Joan Releases Debut Album “Windborne”: Streaming
Brooklyn-based Canadian singer-songwriter Miranda Joan released her debut album “Windborne” on December 3, 2021.
The album comprises 9-track, produced by Julian “J3PO” Pollack. She has recorded her body of work in Los Angeles.
The album features soft Jazz, R&B and pop sound with her powerful soulful vocals.
Miranda Joan said of the album, “Windborne means to be carried by the wind. In the process of making this record, I found myself carried to many corners of the world, to build and rebuild homes, through love and heartbreak, to circle back to the beginning and find myself anew. These songs are a collection of stories from my life over the past few years, recorded in LA and produced by Julian "J3P0" Pollack who has been an invaluable partner in the creation of this album, the music is a reflection of a core desire to find, follow and live in love.”- She explained track-by-track for the album.
“Catch On Fire”
“Catch On Fire” hits me right in the heart and it's not a single but I love to sing it. The words have continued to grow with me.”
“Ruined”
“Over the years I've come to learn what a common thing humiliating sexual experiences are for most people and especially for women. I know I'm not the first woman who has felt used after sex.”
“My Muse”
“This is my sexy love song to my muse, my passion, my partner: music. A friend of mine once told me that art will always be there when I need it, and ain't that the truth. I look for her – my muse – to bandage all my bumps and bruises with melody and lyrics, she is where I channel my spirit and a safe place to land my love.”
“Girlfriend”
“'Girlfriend' is a rejection of the labels we use that oftentimes dictate our experiences and also define the ways in which we experience each other. What started as a recount of a personal experience evolved into a greater reflection on ownership versus partnership in a relationship. I haven't spoken much about it, but in short I was in a place in my life where I valued my autonomy and was very clear about that and the person I was hanging out with had a hard time understanding. I think they had not yet met a woman who wouldn't swoon over the opportunity to be in a relationship. I was not that person. And ultimately, I felt punished for living exactly how I said I would. And so, like all writers, I took my feelings and frustrations to the page and wrote about it. “Girlfriend” was simply saying that sometimes a date is just a date. And it's not just men who feel that way. Women do too.” -
“My Muse”
“I look for her – my muse – to bandage all my bumps and bruises with melody and lyrics, she is where I channel my spirit and a safe place to land my love.”
“Hey Brother”
“This song is particularly near to my heart, I wrote it for... you guessed it... my brother 😝 and has felt ever more representative of my heart in these isolating times. I miss my family, I miss my friends, and I miss the music community that I am so privileged to be a part of.”
“Home”
“This song has a very special place in my heart & to be back on the land where I first wrote it is a wonderfully unexpected full-circle moment. This song has been a *very* long time in the making and holds an incredibly special place in my heart. This year once again I've found myself asking 'Where will I find home and where will it find me?' This year has been a tough one. For us all. In so many complex and nuanced ways. As we orbit the one-year mark, I know many of us (especially us live performers) are feeling the lethargy & thick cement we find our feet in. I hope this song can be a moment of peace, a salve for the soul, in this time where I think we could all use a bit of comfort. And I don't mean sitting in our sweats at home all day 🤪 I mean the kind of comfort that comes from connection; the lightning that makes us feel alive. The comfort that radiates in the magic of us being here at all. I send you all love 💛”
“Happy To Have You”
“Living far from home and far from the people I love, this song is about gratitude and about telling the people you love that you love them.” - source : Apple Music
