Headline: Surprise Double Album Drop from the Prince of Pop

My new release, ‘ Isaiah ’, is a double album.
It features one album with all new songs, songs I wrote during the summer. They will reveal t0 you my personal truth in a way it’s never been revealed before. It is called, simply, Isaiah . My name. The real one. The name by which I now want to be known.
From now on, everyone who has listened to Isaiah knows me better than anyone else in the world. Maybe better than I know myself.
But there is a second, secret album that accompanies the release of Isaiah . It is called Heartmender . This isn’t a completely new album, per se. It’s Heartbreaker , renamed. It’s Heartbreaker , rebranded.
Heartbreaker, redeemed. Heartbreaker, mended.
I have altered the lyrics to some of the songs from my first album Heartbreaker and rerecorded them with various changes: Changes in lyrics, additional verses, slight alterations in melody and major changes in performance. Everything has been recorded brand-new.
I collected the rewritten songs and put them in a new album, which I called ‘ Heartmender ’. It also features two original singles. While the original lyrics to the songs still stand on their own, as a testimony to what I once felt and went through, I experienced the need to revise them, as they no longer represent my heart.
I wish to share the new versions of the songs, as well as the new version of myself, with you, the ones who have been listening to me from day one.
I will be singing both the revised and the old versions in my live shows from now on. I invite you to sing along to either version, depending on how you feel in the moment: broken or mended. This way, we can follow each other’s journeys as we travel through this beautiful, broken world of love and pain intertwined. I hope it will be a lifelong experience that binds us together in music .
Thank you for being with me through all the heartbreak, yours and mine. Thank you for being the main reason I have enough heart left beating, so that it might one day be mended. I will live the rest of my life on that hope.
I hope, if any of you are facing heartbreak as well, that you will join me.
In truth and heartbreak,
Isaiah
