Brett Kissel - The Compass Project - East Album (2023)

March 24, 2023 (Toronto, ON) - Today, multi-platinum, three-time JUNO Award winning artist Brett Kissel announces the forthcoming East Album with the release of feature track “Spend A Little Time With You,” available today across streaming platforms - listen HERE. The second installment of Kissel’s four-part The Compass Project, East Album is slated for release April 28.

Featuring solo songwriting and acoustic arrangements, East Album is the most intimate record Kissel has released yet. A collection of stripped down, heartfelt, acoustic songs, this east coast inspired album demonstrates a new level of vulnerability and emotional depth from Kissel as a songwriter.

The lead track of the album sets the stage for what fans can expect from East Album - an easy listening collection to slowdown and unwind. “We live our lives so fast and so busy - it's wild, really. 'Spend A Little Time With You' is about gearing down, shutting off the rest of the world - the noise if you will - and being in the moment with the ones that mean the most to you,” Kissel shares. “It's like the perfect Sunday morning, the perfect fall-stroll, or night in with just the two of you, soaking in nothing but each other - it's a love song, and a nod to the beauty in simplicity and making the most of our time together.”

Kissel's lead single “Never Have I Ever” from the first installment of The Compass Project - South Album - continues to shine, amassing more than six million streams globally, and was the most added single at Canadian Country Radio in it's first week of availability.
