Full Album

Ember

“Yellow” finds new color in this SATB treatment, drawn from Laila Biali’s jazz re-imagining of the Coldplay anthem and skillfully adapted for choir by Will Clements. Fully notated piano and bass parts plus drums set the harmonic canvas, while an alto soloist frames the story at the opening and again in the closing tag. Clements preserves Biali’s inventive reharmonization, letting vertical sonorities bloom without sacrificing the tune’s familiar warmth. Careful linear voice leading keeps entrances intuitive, so singers can focus on nuance rather than note-chasing.

Across its runtime the arrangement shifts textures—unison passages, tight clusters, transparent pads—offering the ensemble fresh scenery at every turn. Momentum builds through layered backgrounds and rhythmic lift, cresting in a final chorus that releases into one last, intimate solo statement. The result feels both inspirational and personal, a dedication piece that can serve as heart-on-sleeve ballad, reflective midpoint, or a gentle closer that leaves listeners with just a hint of longing.

Corporate Japan

One of the newest tracks on the album, this song was directly inspired by walks around the Marina Green (near the Golden Gate Bridge) in San Francisco very late at night near the end of last year. There is something spiritual for me about walks at 3am or 4am; I love the stillness, tranquility, and feeling that the entire landscape is yours.

I fittingly debuted this record during my nearly 5-hour set at Audio in San Francisco—my first headline show.
