Connections (2015) by Shannon Curtis
This is what some people might call my "breakthrough" album? This is a very relative term; I remain a very DIY independent artist. But! This album had a moment.
Specifically, it had a video go massively viral — for the song "I Know I Know." At one point shortly after its release, the video was getting 10,000 views *an hour*. I was on my couch for WEEKS responding to people's messages as a result of this video. It exposed me to a much wider audience; our house concert touring grew fairly significantly as a result of this inflection point.
A wonderful side benefit of "I Know I Know" being the song to go viral is that it's about mental wellness and sharing our stories — which had the twin results of drawing Jamie and me much closer to the mental wellness community and bringing many more of other people's stories into our lives. It was, and remains, a wonderful connection to have made.
