🥀 THE DOOR IS OPEN. DISSENSION IS OUT NOW. 🥀 I didn’t set out to write this album... I was setting out to write The Fall Guy And that one song unlocked something. Suddenly I could see the colors, the words, the darkness and the story. I knew what this world looked like before I even knew every song that would eventually live inside of it. Honestly, I let myself go somewhere a little darker with this one. Dissension plays with the parts of ourselves that don’t always make sense together. Confidence and insecurity. Pleasure and consequence. Wanting to be seen and wanting to disappear. Being somebody’s heaven and somebody else’s villain. Falling apart while still finding a reason to dance. There’s temptation in The Devil’s Lemonade Stand and escape in Temporary Heaven. There’s the armor we build in Defense Systems.... the courage behind Do It Scared and that strange ability we have to keep moving even when everything feels like it’s falling apart in Dancing Through This Breakdown. There are songs about being wanted, being blamed, losing sleep, knowing your worth, playing both sides and trying to figure out who the hell you are underneath all of it. And then there’s The Fall Guy. The song that started the whole thing! That’s why this album feels different from anything else I’ve made. I didn’t want every song to be pretty. I didn’t want every character to be innocent And I definitely didn’t want every emotion tied up neatly with a bow!!! Sometimes we're confident. Sometimes we're scared. Sometimes we're the hero. Sometimes we're the problem. Sometimes we rise. Sometimes we fall. And sometimes those versions of us exist at the exact same time. That tension is Dissension. 13 songs later, the world I saw when I wrote The Fall Guy finally belongs to all of you now. I am incredibly proud of this album and I hope somewhere inside these 13 songs you find a lyric, a feeling or maybe even a piece of yourself or your world in it. 🥀 DISSENSION • OUT NOW 🥀 🍎 Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/dissension/6800035055 💚 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6oXAy3UYrYoCJET9FGJRwc?si=ch7M8ag2QQKyVTOvuI73OA Listen loud.

13 DAYS OF DISSENSION 🥀 13 songs. 13 stories. 13 days inside Dissension. Starting tomorrow, I’m taking you a little deeper into this album, one song at a time. For the next 13 days, I’ll be sharing the lyrics, stories, inspiration and pieces of myself behind each track, starting with Ascension and ending with the song that started this entire chapter, The Fall Guy. Dissension let me play in a darker space than I normally do. Some songs came from confidence. Some from temptation, fear, healing, resentment, forgiveness and learning how to keep moving when everything inside you wants to shut down. There’s more behind these songs than I could ever fit into one post. So instead, we’re going to take our time. One song. One story. One day at a time. Welcome to 13 Days of Dissension. 🥀 With every day, we dive a little deeper into the new chapter. #13DaysOfDissension #Dissension #TeeJayDavid #NewMusic #Songwriter
