From what began as a beat created on Instagram Live, to premiering during her performance at the street festival "Argyle Night Market, to transforming it into a full-length song that was released today on all streaming platforms. The smooth deep house/hip-hop is a vibe that is reminiscent of rain, water dance an outpour of love for life.
“As I began to release singles on a monthly basis, I knew I wanted The Outpour to be a part of that arsenal. I went back to the drawing board to find its structure and story, finding lyrics that would surprise the listener at the end, and even implementing automation to give it that DJ / club vibe that the song naturally gives.” — Jovan Landry

"Just Practice" and "Soul Jounce" are the first tracks that will kick off my monthly music releases as a commitment to myself both as an emcee and beatmaker. Here's a big shoutout to Sarah, The Illstrumentalist dropping this free gem of a tip to stay consistent in this game.
While it can pose a challenge, this will help Landry stay in the groove and keep her pen and finger-drumming sharp. Some of these tracks you'll hear are songs she’s held in her back pocket, and some are brand-spanking new. This is a lesson of releasing and allowing the world to listen to what Jovan offers.
