For Second Story Duo™, the creation of Reflections was a labor of love two years in the making, born out of a commitment to collaboration and artistic growth. For Lynn Case, one half of the duo alongside her partner Doug, the journey began with a simple New Year’s goal: to step outside her comfort zone and explore the possibilities of working with other musicians. That goal evolved into a rich tapestry of creative partnerships, culminating in an album that captures not only their growth as a band but also their personal reflections on life, love, and memory.
The album stands apart from their previous work, particularly their debut album, What I Wish For Us. "With Reflections, we let the lyrics dictate the direction of each song," says Doug. "We weren’t bound by genre—we let each track evolve in its own way." The result is an eclectic collection of songs, from the country-tinged “Whiskey” to the French-inspired “The Lake Song,” a love letter to Lynn’s sister-in-law, complete with a lilting accordion performance by Doug himself, honoring his father’s musical legacy.
At its heart, Reflections is a celebration of the moments that shape our lives—both the small, everyday ones and the profound ones we carry with us forever. "I hope listeners can find their own journeys in these songs," Lynn shares. "For me, each song is a reflection of a piece of my life, and I hope people can use them to reflect on their own experiences, too."
