Sixteen tracks. For when your head’s too full and you need to move. Pressure is about feeling too much, feeling nothing, wanting someone and knowing you probably shouldn’t text them. Being worn out but still wanting a night that feels good. There’s room here for the messy parts. Attraction, doubt, burnout, a little recklessness. Sometimes you need to sit with what you’re feeling. Sometimes you need to dance for a while before you can deal with it. I hope you find a track that feels like yours. Play it loud, come back to it when you need it, and share it with someone who might need it too. Hope you find something of yourself in these songs.

Seventeen tracks. Sometimes you just need something heavy. I wanted to make something heavy with this one. The kind of music that makes you get up and move, even when you’ve had enough of everything. There’s a stubborn streak running through Colossus. Getting knocked down, carrying the weight, finding enough in yourself to stand up again. I don’t always feel strong, and I don’t expect you to either. Some days, just keeping going takes everything you’ve got. The names probably give you an idea of where my head was: Iron, Concrete, Gasoline, Overdrive. I wanted room to get a little wild and follow things further than I normally would. Some ideas needed more than one version. Others needed nearly eight minutes. I like seeing what happens when I give a track room instead of rushing it to the finish. Find your favourite. Put it on when you need to move, let off some steam or get out of your head for a while. And if it helps you through a rough day, I’d love to hear about it.

This is a protest record. I wrote it because I’m angry about how we treat each other, animals and the natural world. I still believe we can do better. It’s a companion to my novel, The Weight of Petals. The book asks what happens when ordinary people have to choose between staying quiet and standing up. These songs come from the same place. Some are angry. Some are hopeful. I want you to dance to them, but I also want you to hear what they’re saying. The title is what I believe: all means all. Nobody should have to prove they deserve basic kindness, safety or a place to belong. This edition includes Children of Abraham, Sheep Among Wolves and Shoulder to Shoulder, alongside the original songs and alternate mixes.

I want these songs to reach people who believe we can build a kinder world for each other, protect animals and take better care of the planet. Sharing them helps. The full 22-track album is $7.99, or more if you’d like to support my music. If these songs mean something to you, share them with someone. Thanks for listening. I’m glad you’re here.
