This week, Anna + Katie release their 3rd single, Close, under the band name Jasper + Jade. They discuss in detail why this was the song that brought them together and, as Anna says, "the original scary thing." They share the process of how this song evolved from a very beginner garage band demo to a professional recording with Josiah Prince at The Ranch in Nashville. Anna shares the "devastating" circumstances that provided the meaning behind the song and how going through that situation and writing about the process sealed the deal that "I have to do this - period." They explain to listeners that "if we can start - you can start" and discuss why escaping the vulnerability requires you to equally escape the reward also. The girls discuss a few of the many shapes Close took before the recording process and give credit to the plentiful Josiah-raz-a-ma-taz that was added in that process. If you get nothing else out of this episode, Anna + Katie want you to know that "We didn't think we could do it. But we did. And we believe you can, too!"

Close was produced at The Ranch in Nashville, TN with Josiah Prince. Strings by Corey Justin Horn at The Reef Studio
