J McClendon Releases Two Leftover Tracks

J McClendon released It's Fine To Dream earlier this year as her debut album under You Are An Angel. She has now released two songs left over from the album sessions, called Candyglass and Baroque.

McClendon said the two songs were considered for It's Fine To Dream but were cut late in the process and received new mixes. She said she loved both tracks but felt they clashed tonally with the rest of the album. The songs mostly favor straightforward emo-pop over the epic scope of many of her songs, while the ending of Candyglass becomes relatively grand.

McClendon said more You Are An Angel music is coming, potentially as singles or small EPs before another big album. She said she has been focusing on making individual songs as good as possible rather than polishing 45 minutes to 1 hour of music, and that she has been doing genre experiments that do not exactly work together on one album but work as singles.

McClendon said some of her favorite songs she has written are coming. On Baroque, she sings You're not listening.
