@imjasonallan: 1 week of TPTSOBA 🙏💙 this week has been tough. i struggle with music releases because i’m not an artist who gets a lot of streams on spotify. even though i tell myself not to let my self-worth be dictated by numbers on a screen, the hard truth is that those numbers do dictate my fate in this numbers-driven industry. i have two options: bury my head in the sand and tell myself, “it doesn’t matter. don’t put yourself through the heartache, just release the song and move on,” or face the inevitable pain and really give it my all. create music, tell my story, ask friends and family to listen, and pray to the algorithm gods for a small golden nugget in the seemingly endless social media mine. for this release, i chose the latter. this song means a lot to me, and, unsurprisingly, it didn’t land on new music friday or get radio 1’s track of the week. but that’s okay. i put my heart into the song, and all of you have been incredibly supportive of the release, for which i’m truly grateful. i promise this isn’t a negative post—just another chapter of my story, where i choose to be as honest and upfront with you as possible. i hate releasing music because of how the numbers make me feel, but i love my music. i love that i get to do it every day, and i love that you’re all here on this journey with me, cheering me on through the highs and lows. i love this family we’ve created, and no algorithm will ever change that. i think i’m done promoting “post traumatic” now, which means a new body of work is next. i promise you—and, more importantly, myself—that i’ll do my best to love the process and not get so hung up on numbers. i love you all. thanks again for being so damn awesome. love, j x
