Contents

The thirteen songs on this album are about Jaymay's personal struggles during the preceding few years, including intense pain from Crohn's disease that forced her to cancel her 2013 tour, and the death of her developmentally disabled sister, Cassie, for whom "Cassie's Song" is named. A percentage of the funding for the album that Jaymay raised through PledgeMusic was donated to The Center For Discovery in Monticello, New York, where Cassie went to school. [2]

Crohns disease A type of inflammatory bowel disease

Crohn's disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus. Signs and symptoms often include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and weight loss. Other complications may occur outside the gastrointestinal tract and include anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, and tiredness. The skin rashes may be due to infections as well as pyoderma gangrenosum or erythema nodosum. Bowel obstruction may occur as a complication of chronic inflammation, and those with the disease are at greater risk of bowel cancer.

The album's cover image is of glass tiles arranged in a "TTTT" pattern, which was photographed at the beach at the end of the street on which Jaymay lived as a child. [3]

Critical reception

Popdose called the songs on the album "simply sweet and well-constructed" and that Jaymay "clearly has the goods as a singer and songwriter." [4] Bust Magazine rated the album 3 out of 5, saying that "Jaymay’s evolution as an artist continues, as she excavates her emotional pain for artistic fuel." [5]
