Hop on a ride with Dontmesswithjuan as she takes you for a ride through her new 8 track album titled Juan & the Pursuit of Happiness.
Dontmesswithjuan and her record label SONO Music Group have joined forces to bring forth a fictional character Juan and his journey in a sonic wonder.
When asked about the album, Dontmesswithjuan said, “I have been fascinated with the concept of happiness for the last ten years. First, feeling lost myself, I had to ask why, and it started this magical journey. Why do we feel lost? Why do we need to escape through so many addictions? Are these addictions just keeping us from finding ourselves? Why do we live in a society where so many people need to take pills to feel like they fit in, to feel like they can function, to feel like they are ‘normal,’ to feel like they are happy or at least ‘look’ happy, to feel like they deserve to live. Why do we search for one unchanging truth, one easy answer, one magical recipe? Why do we try to eliminate the ‘negative’? Why do we stagnate in our blinding comfort? This album is my own research and personal navigation through these questions.
The debut album raises questions and offers answers as Dontmesswithjuan examines the act of human beings dealing with the idea of purpose. Each song is leveled up in “difficulty” as he needs to go bear through some challenges to move on to the next.
With tracks such as “Mutant Fur” and “Mr. Uchi” offering a dark, magical, and hypnotizing record.
