Cathartic Fall re-releases debut album

Cathartic Fall is the solo project of artist Jeoff Harris, a veteran producer known for crafting chart-topping hits like Madelline’s “I’m Only Here for the Beat” and Twice’s “With YOU-th.” Though he’s spent over a decade behind the scenes creating mainstream successes, Cathartic Fall allows him to explore a more reflective, meditative sound. Blending ambient pop and immersive soundscapes, this new venture marks a profound shift in his career from producer-for-hire to an artist exploring personal and emotional expression.

Launched in 2020 with the debut single “With Eyes Open,” Cathartic Fall quickly established a unique style, combining his technical expertise with an emotional openness that struck a chord with listeners. Following the release of several well-received tracks, Cathartic Fall’s self-titled debut album dropped in August, introducing fans to a collection of songs that explore themes of grief, growth and inner healing. This first album was met with considerable praise, earning millions of streams and establishing the artists’s new sound as a therapeutic journey for his listeners as well as himself.

Now, he takes the emotional impact of Cathartic Fall a step further with a re-release that reimagines the album through a unique collaboration with poets and mental health advocates. This project features spoken word performances over five tracks; “Before The Fall,” “Breathe,” “Just This,” “Sometimes Words Just Get In The Way” and “Strong As Death,” infusing the music with new context. By incorporating spoken word artists like Whitney Hanson, Allie Michelle and Trev Cimenski, as well as mental health advocate Matthias J Barker, Jeoff Harris builds on the themes of emotional release that defined the original album. Together, these artists enrich the tracks with poetry that illuminates both the pain and beauty of everyday struggles, creating an atmosphere that feels both healing and hauntingly honest.

The re-release was introduced with an exclusive online event, inviting fans to experience these layered tracks with the featured poets in attendance. The event captured the deep, artistic connections behind the scenes, giving audiences an intimate look at Cathartic Fall’s intent to create not just music, but an immersive emotional experience. For the artists involved, it was their first time hearing the completed project, making the launch an unforgettable moment for the creatives and fans alike. This emphasis on collaboration gives the re-release a unique energy, transforming it into a living, breathing distillation of the power of shared experiences.

In addition to the collaborative performances, the re-release showcases Harris’ commitment to mental health advocacy. For the first ten days following the album’s debut on Spotify, 50% of its streaming revenue will go to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Through this gesture, Cathartic Fall amplifies its core message, that music can serve as both a creative outlet and a means of support for those navigating mental health challenges.

Each artist involved brings their own unique voice and vision to the project. Matthias Barker, a psychotherapist known for making complex mental health concepts accessible, provides spoken insights that explore estrangement and the emotional weight of healing. Whitney Hanson, a poet from Montana, uses her writing to unlock vulnerability, connecting with readers through her honesty and openness. Allie Michelle, a bestselling author and co-founder of the women’s wellness community We Are Warriors, offers poetry that merges personal truth with fiction, inviting listeners to discover the fingerprints they leave on the world. And Trev Cimenski, known for his subtle observations of daily life, brings an understated beauty to his pieces, reminding listeners of the quiet significance in small moments.

With Cathartic Fall, Jeoff Harris has forged a new path, blending music, poetry, and mental health awareness into an experience that shines far beyond the standard album format. In his hands, ambient pop transforms into a tool for emotional exploration, uniting fans and artists alike in a shared journey through grief, self-discovery and healing, resulting in an album that’s been reframed in a meaningful and truly worthwhile fashion.
