I named the album “Citrine” as almost an oxymoron. The Citrine gem stone harnesses light/the sun and warmth. It’s believed that Its healing properties reduce stress, anxieties and depression. I recorded this album while going through some of the darkest depression I have ever dealt with in life. My mental health really deteriorated last year and This music became my light...my warmth....my “Citrine” if you will.. This album is probably the most bipolar, genre bending piece of music I have ever done. These songs are my most honest truths all wrapped up in one album. I didn’t know if music was for me anymore after the last album. I had actually decided to let go of this dream but then after having a very manic depressive episode one day I wrote “Me vs. Me”. The first song I ever wrote about mental health and my bipolar depression and it sparked this fire in me to work on music again. This album is so different for me because I just simply made music I wanted to make. No strings, no pretense, no expectations, no worries of label approval, no filters & no bullshit. Just music I loved making. If I felt like rapping one day I did just that. If I felt like I needed to cry and get something off my chest on a song I did that. I stretched my voice to places I had never reached before and I also sang in my lower register which was a first for me (see: Milk & Honey). There are so many sounds on this album. The r&b y’all love me for (High Notes, Come Thru), Ballads (Damn You Love, I’m Sorry, ) the hip hop joints where I’m rapping more, which is new for me (Hate Me, Mood, Jawbreaker) and even a country song! I also wanted to work with artist that I listen to myself! Im a real life fan of every single feature that’s on this album. I love all of their work! Special thanks to Jennie J, C-Note, Mr. 5P, MonkieFace & Luisifer for being apart of this project. You all took it to a whole new level and I’m forever grateful for your talents. 🙏🏽 This album is such an eclectic mix of sounds and I’m so proud of that. Some of You may love it, some of you may hate it but it’s authentically me and that’s all I can be. I hope you guys understand my vision. CITRINE is now yours to enjoy. I hope listening to it brings you light & warmth the way creating it did for me. ✨ - Junior
