Written as a result of a daydream, after healing from a prior relationship, summertime speaks of prayers coming true and real love finding you after you put the focus on yourself

My personal favorite, this song represents, to me, what the full spectrum of emotions actually sounds like. When hope gets slammed by frustration and dating turns stagnant, sometimes you have to look within, remember your worth and know to walk away when a situation is not serving you.

Tell me started off as an experimental song recalling the experience of recovering from an unhealthy relationship. While the lessons are real, the story line isn't -- it mimics the common 90's r&b narrative of a partner leaving the relationship - Cristine's way of paying respect to the era of music that's inspired her so much.

Start Over Again speaks on the one dimensional vision people can fall victim to when following societal norms over what your heart wants. It's about reclaiming the power to define what success, fulfillment, and happiness look like for you, instead of letting external definitions shape those concepts for you.

I'll Be The Fool is a reminder of the compelling power of sustaining love and the echoing sentiments it leaves behind after the ashes settle.

Show Me The Way was inspired by a prayer. A moment of seeking clarity from a higher power in the face of difficult choices—one that resonates with a lot of people who find themselves caught between loyalty, faith, and their own purpose.
