Hi Daydreamers (IYKYK)!

It's been a hot minute since we last chatted, but I promise I have a good reason why I've been MIA for a while. Over the last year, I've had my head down writing and recording an entirely new album! It’s been an amazing experience that I’ve cherished every bit of. I can’t believe it, but the music is finally done and I cannot wait to share these songs with you so so soon!

This is definitely an album for my ride-or-die Daydreamers, for those of you who've been with me since I put out my first collection of songs at 15, those who have been listening since Daydreamer and Little Sister had their moments in 2021, and of course for those of you who are the diehard lovers of Cherry On Top.

These next songs tell the story of my life over the first two years of my twenties. As always, I wrote the songs I wish I had when I was going through some terribly big life moments, so I really hope they turn out to be the ones you need right now too. If you’ve been supporting me for forever, I hope you know how much I appreciate you. This music thing is not for the faint of heart, and I’m so grateful you’re still here with me.

And if you’re new here, hey girl hey!!! Come one, come all! I’m always so excited to meet More Of You, you have no idea.

But now, about Daydreamer HQ: every artist today has some form of a fan club, and creating this new version of mine has become a bit of a Passion Project for me. I don’t know about you, but I kinda really hate the social media-ness of it all. It’s by far the thing I struggle with the most as an indie artist. Chasing vanity metrics and screaming at the top of my lungs for someone to look at what I’m doing truly makes me feel like Existing is Embarrassing, and not in a good way. I’m hoping that Daydreamer HQ can be a place where we don’t have to worry about any of that, and where we can just be unabashedly us, together.

I've been thinking a lot about how I could take this old school, and what better way to do that than physical mail? So, every month I'll be sending you something special - updates, stickers, handwritten lyrics, signed poster cards, special merch and giveaways. Plus you’ll get clues about where to get these new songs before anyone else ★

Daydreamer HQ is way more than a mailing list. It’s a community.

There is so much more I can't wait to share, but for now, watch your inbox for the first clues this September ;)

Be sure to officially join Daydreamer HQ where you can sign up to get VIP passes to next year’s tour dates and maybe even a FREE concert in your home town!

I wouldn’t want to do this with Anyone But You.

XOXO,

Ainsley
