Independent alt-pop artist Mayday 13 dropped his debut record "Dreaming Is Easy" on Friday, May 12. This launch marks the official debut of Mayday 13's career in the music industry. The 9-track album has a somber overtone that evokes deep introspection while it touches upon emotions associated with relationships. Although many of the songs on this record follow a gloomy tone, the messages within Mayday 13's lyrics point to the uplifting conclusion that there is hope for redemption in any situation.

"Dreaming Is Easy" is about never losing sight of the dreams you once held close to your heart. Whether these "dreams" are related to keeping a relationship together or feeling supported by people who surround you, Mayday 13 highlights the hardships we experience in life. The struggle of feeling seen and understood is explored within track 3 of the album "Spirits," which includes the lines: I want to find a place where I belong A place for me that I can call my own I hope to God that I am not alone I want to find a place where I belong.

Mayday 13 pushed the boundaries of his artistry by creating this album entirely solo. He played and recorded the various instruments featured on each track, wrote his own lyrics, and produced the entire project once it was ready for completion. Mayday 13 created a cohesive sound to the album by integrating dreamy background instrumentals that flow in and out of each song. The storytelling element of this release was the most important to the artist, as his goal was to create something unique that reflected his style and mood.

The week of the release, $1 of every album sold will go to benefit Families with Children battling Osteosarcoma with MIBagents.org.
