This page is only available to members of Chris and Daya’s website. On the demo page you will find new songs. Some are being considered for their new album (see below) and some are just for fun. These are demos and not of the highest quality or ready to be produced. Some are from a live performance. Yet you get to hear some new music and when the new CD is released you will understand how some of these songs evolved.  Let them know what you feel about the songs. The password is: ChrisandDaya (one word with capital C and D)   A soon to be New Album by Chris and Daya  Since Chris and Daya released Envy of Stars in June of last year people have been asking for more. For those of you who have been waiting, it won’t be much longer. We are pleased to announce that Chris and Daya will be recording their second album this spring in Austin Texas, It will be mainly acoustic with not too much distracting form the songs and Chris and Daya’s wonderful vocals. With more time to plan this album, they have been singing together for more than a year, Daya will have a much stronger presence on the new album. I am sure, like me, you are looking forward to it.     However, it takes money to make this happen. Getting recognized in a very competitive industry does not happen over night and it takes a lot of support form their fans and friends. For those who have seen and heard them perform or have listened to their CD, there is no question they have got what it takes to make this happen.   They are still working hard to promote the Envy of Stars and to bring it to the attention of a wider audience. The new CD will be released on their own label with an aggressive radio promotion effort planned. Everyone with have an opportunity to hear the music from both albums!   Chris and Daya are not planning a typical kick-starter type fundraiser for this album. They just want to let their fan know what is happening. Soon we will be adding a “Next Album Support” page to the website with more information and ways in which you can assist. If you want to help move their music forward, and the message it carries, any level of financial support is appreciated. There are also non-financial ways you can help. Spread the word about their music.    Envy of Stars on YouTube (complete album) Chris and Daya want to share their music with as many people as possible.  They asked me to put the Envy of Stars album on YouTube for all to enjoy. For those of you who own the album you know it’s delight to hear. I’m certainly bias, but to be honest, I never tire of listing to it. Hearing Envy of Stars lifts my spirits.    What’s on YouTube is not a music video. It is there for the pleasure of those who wish to listen. It is also a way for Chris and Daya to share their music with a wider audience. Of course Envy of Stars is also available from Chris and Daya’s website, through, CDBaby.com and can be downloaded from your favorite digital service.  Please share the link with you family and friends, but if they like the music, encourage them to buy the album :-)  Please visit the youtube page and give the album a thumbs up.  https://youtu.be/XIeuUpuWT2M
