Makel released his debut album in June of 2025, revisiting years! Revisiting Years is a remembrance of the year(s) 2020-now. The album begins with "intro". This album explains and defines life as it has passed and moved forward. This experience can be best denoted in songs such as, "an acapella of assurance", "no more love", and "we as people". Revisiting years doesn't cover the entire past instead it works more towards the preparation of growth in one's self. This can be experienced through songs such as, "unnatural", "diamonds", and "happier than ever". As for "still love" and "two minutes of strings (california's interlude)", they send an overall message that even with all the chaos in the world we can still find peace and love in any location. The songs, "work" and "chasing the sky" are more likely as point setters in the album stating that we must work to reach out goals and even when we fall down we have to be persistent and steadfast to rise to the occasion everyday. Revisiting Years is singer-songwriter Makel Tillman's first ever album and I hope you enjoy it!
