JULY. It is JULY.
You know what comes with July? Quilt Anthems. The album is coming THIS MONTH and I am barely containing my excitement about it.
But also? July 4th is around the corner and that means one of my very favorite annual traditions: ordering a ridiculous amount of new pool floaties on Amazon, shipping them to my mom’s house, and arriving to float on them with my sister like we are royalty of a very inflatable kingdom.
No apologies. Fully grown adult. Absolutely still doing this.
This tradition actually inspired a whole song — Floatie Tradition, which lives on the Summer State of Mind album — and I think that’s a perfect example of what I’ve always believed: the specific, real, joyful, goofy moments of your actual life are worth celebrating in music. Not in spite of the fact that they’re simple, but BECAUSE of it.
July is shaping up to be one of the most exciting months of this whole year. We’ve got an album dropping, we’ve got floaties incoming, we’ve got summer in full swing, and we’ve got — well, I’ll tease it now — some September album news I’ll start previewing later this month.
Let’s GO, July. I am ready for you.
