Final Track List For Draw

Quality over quantity. I never understood what that truly meant until last week. If you haven't heard, my time in the studio was dedicated to changing things for the better. The songs I have written over the past year have been reworked. Not only does Draw sound like a cohesive work, but I can now sing them without running the risk of damaging my voice. 

Don't worry, I'm still a tenor. I'm just not a twelve year old tenor.

Ok. Super serious preface done. Time to get ridiculously excited. Ready??

LADIES, GENTLEMEN, AND ROCKSTARS!! THE FINAL TRACK LIST FOR MY NEW ALBUM, DRAW!!

1. It Ends Tonight
2. October
3. Hallway Lights
4. A Kiss Is A Kiss
5. The Diamond King
6. Bishop Road
7. Distance
8. Everybody's Hero
9. Under Your Shadow

Stay tuned for news on a new release date in the coming weeks. In the meantime, I'll let you mull over the titles for a while.

Draw Is Still Happening

What a year it has been. Corporate peon by day, aspiring musician by night. Feels like I've been doing a lot of juggling. That being said, I think I owe you guys an update.

Some of you have heard the new stuff, some of you haven't. Either way, you are dying to hear new music from me. I'm dying to give it to you. So given everything that has gone on in my life as well as this recording process, I have come to a decision. I'm going against the grain.

It's a formula that musicians have been using since forever ago:

Release single -> Release Album -> Release two more singles -> Go on tour

Or as 2014 would say:

Release single -> Release Album -> Release five more singles -> Get in trouble -> TMZ

While I appreciate routines that work, not everybody is a spoon-fed teen sensation from Canada. For that reason among others, I will be officially releasing the completed, finished album as a whole with a new release date to be determined. Why keep you in suspense any longer? You all have been patient long enough. The least I can do is give you the whole thing as soon as it's complete.

Until then, be on the lookout for some acoustic YouTube exclusives at youtube.com/november7video and trend the hell out of #Draw2014 if you're on Twitter!

Lessthanthree,
Doug

PS: "But Doug, doesn't an acoustic YouTube exclusive count as a single???" Like I said....you've waited long enough. ;)
