NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — “You Were My Compass” is the title of the collaboration album between singer Christina Jones and composer/lyricist Kimiko Ishizaka, and it is now available for pre-order on Christina’s website. Pre-ordering the album allows you to immediately download the first single, “What Love Means to Me,” a yearning and romantic ballad exploring the singer’s longing for a love-eternal while battling her own thoughts of self-harm.
Christina Jones further announced that she will be featured in a Boston Conservatory at Berklee virtual concert on February 16, 2021, at 8:00 PM ET on Berklee’s IGTV and Facebook pages. She will be performing an original composition of her own and reciting her poetry.
Kimiko Ishizaka said of the album, “Valentine’s Day 2021 was my 20th wedding anniversary, an event I once thought I would never see. The fact that I got to experience this joy, as a new mother, is a testament that these songs can stir powerful emotions. The track we’re releasing now, ‘What Love Means to Me,’ is the first song I ever wrote to fight the despair of having been abandoned. I hope that in Christina’s voice that you will hear the hope and the fear that I went through on my journey of healing.”
“It’s been such a wonderful experience recording these songs and navigating the story behind them; I’m happy that I’m able to bring Kimiko’s story to life,” says Christina Jones.
