To go with that, we have a great line-up of summer concerts happening this year! Check them out here and keep checking back for updates as to when we’ll be in your city. 🙂

There will be a series of blogs in the coming weeks leading up to the release date, where we will give a little history of what the inspiration was behind the songs and how they came to be on the album! 🙂

Today, we really want to tell you all about our music and how our album came to be.

_______________________________________________________________

Robyn:  Ever since I was about 12 years old I’ve been writing songs.  Sitting on my bed when I was supposed to be doing homework 😉 or up late at night when I should have been sleeping, I was actually jotting down the lyrics to the songs that would eventually, a few year later, be recorded on to our first album EP.

The songs I was writing were truly all about the thoughts, feelings and experiences I had at the time or…. that someone else had 🙂 I guess that’s how most musicians draw their inspiration. When the time came I remember digging through all of my song papers, a lot of them were on loose scrap paper tucked in a binder, and trying to find the best candidates to record, there were lots!  We sang them for our producers and we narrowed it down to the top 5, it was a very hard decision, it was like leaving some best friends behind! Moving forward though and going through all the steps of recording an EP was sure an eye opener it’s not an easy process but it was so much fun watching each of our songs come to life! We met some great people along the way. The music industry is like one big family, they have been wonderful and so welcoming to us. We have really learned a lot from them!

Ryleigh: Making music and creating an album is something that every artist dreams of. To be living it is incredible. For me, what I remember the most is how it started for us. Robyn was writing songs and I started writing harmonies and giving my own ideas. Robyn and I had our own dreams of singing, but little did we know, we were meant to do it together. Once we started, we never looked back.

To finish the story of how the album came to be, after signing with Raincoast Music/MDM Recordings we were able to record five more songs to complete the album. Three of them were written by other writers, Steven Lee Olsen, Kathleen Higgins and last but not least…..Taylor Swift! We are very proud of the songs on this album and are so thankful to everyone who helped us along the way. We really feel like we have a song for everyone. We really love giving fans something they can relate to and we can’t wait to record more songs to do even more of that in the future.

We hope you enjoy our album as much as we enjoyed making it! See you at our concerts!

Love Always,

Robyn & Ryleigh
