You Are An Angel (Glass Beach’s J McClendon) Shares Album Outtakes “Candyglass” & “Baroque”

J McClendon, the former lead of the popular emo band Glass Beach, has released two outtakes from her debut album, It's Fine To Dream. The tracks, titled "Candyglass" and "Baroque," were previously considered for inclusion on the album but were removed late in the production process. McClendon expressed her happiness at finally releasing these tracks, stating that they now have new mixes and better fit her current musical style.

She also mentioned that there will be more music releases, possibly in the form of singles or small EPs, before another full album.

The singer also experimented with different genres that, while not fitting on the same album, stand strong as standalone singles. "You're not listening," McClendon sings on "Baroque," challenging listeners to prove her wrong.
