Star

The debut album from Los Angeles based multidisciplinary artist, christy.   

Los Angeles based multidisciplinary artist, christy’s debut album, “WOLVES” is composed of personal experiences about desire, grief, turmoil, concession, and growth. The album’s title track is a visually rich sonic exploration of living with Bi-Polar II. The artist refers to her condition as “wolves”, which she sometimes runs with and sometimes from. “I tried to spin the gnashing of my teeth into a gold thread so fine that all my mending would look like stars,” says the artist of her esoteric process.  

With influences ranging from Cat Power to Kraftwerk, the project is written and co-produced entirely by christy (formally Glitzer, Jung Money, the Concrete Expressionist Objective, & From the Soul Recordings), and co-produced by four time Grammy nominee and winner for this year’s best R&B song, notable DJ, musician, and producer Jahi Sundance (Robert Glasper, State of Emergency, Moon Medicine, Miguel, Meshell Ndegeocello). LA based producer, Colby Groce, co-produced “Reign Down” and “Pockets”, and Cheyne Taylor Bush, half of the LA based due “Tetrad” co-produced several tracks and engineered the project. 
“WATER”, the first single from the celebrated conceptual artist, is a critique of transactional value, affirming that people are valuable not because of, but in spite of what they can do for others. The track begins with the lyrics, “You never treated me like water, like a soft thing carving canyons in stone”, alluding to the way water is revered as a resource, but rarely for its qualities outside its relationship to humanity.
