#newflame #TheAlbum #BTS #BehindTheScenes #JustinMaki
This album was 6 years in the making! I started writing the first songs off of the album back in 2016 and the official recording process began back in 2019. It's hard to believe it took this long, but honestly, I'm so glad that I took my time, because it allowed me to really masterfully sculpt the raw passion that was bubbling inside of me. "New Flame" is a concept album that traces the various stages of a relationship, from first spark to last smoke. It is something I have laboured over for 100s of hours and I would love nothing more than for you to enjoy it.
