Alt singer Dora Jar announced her debut album NO WAY TO RELAX WHEN YOU ARE ON FIRE will be released on September 13th.
The singer, who opened for Billie Eilish in 2022, made the exciting announcement via socials today alongside the cover art for the album.
According to the post, the singer started writing this album while on tour with Billie in 2022 for the Happier Than Ever tour.
“I started writing these songs 2 years ago after opening for one of my favorite artists in the world Billie (a life changing and overwhelming dive into the deep end). There were times in the writing process where I crumpled in the confusion of imposter syndrome.”
She continues, “I was trying to make sense of what felt like a lucky break. But I used the freedom and time to face my deepest fears , my shadow self, and get closer to the truth of who I am { ever changing }.”
The second single for the album was released on June 28 and is titled “Timelapse.” The song opens with the existential question, “Who am I?” – a theme that resonates throughout her upcoming album.
“Timelapse” captures the essence of New York City’s dynamic and ever-changing landscape, mirroring Dora’s own journey of self-exploration. “When I moved back to New York in my early adulthood, it was the first time I felt like I could have fun living the answer to that question,” Dora says. “New York moves so fast, your surroundings blur, and change feels more intense and inevitable. I wanted this song to sound like getting lost in the busy timelapse of life.”
This release follows the success of Dora’s previous single “She Loves Me”, which explores the duality of her personality – how she presents herself in groups versus when she is alone.
