Operation: Temptation

"Operation: Temptation" is the debut album of Kieran Spears. It had originally been planned to be Kieran’s debut release sometime in 2020, however due to slow progress and a rush to release a debut project, it was scrapped in favour of a 6 track EP. The project was picked up again in 2023, and is expected to be released in December. 
Sessions and songwriting for the album began sometime in 2018, however, none of the tracks from this time have been used, (apart from Elixir, which was originally written and produced in 2019, with some changes before release in 2021), as the sound was inconsistent, as well as this, the project had been known as “MoonBeam” at this time, until the title was changed a year later to the final title. With the title change, a new direction to the project began, with the concept being that the album would be from the perspective of a humanoid robot that attracts men and kills them, however this concept was scrapped too and the album would no longer be a concept album.
The first track recorded that made the released EP was "Strawberry Heart", which also acted as the first single released by Kieran S. It was not an original song from the original sessions of the album, it was written after "MoonBeam" was scrapped.
After the release of “Temptation” in 2022, plans to complete the album were dropped, however they were vaguely picked up again in December of the same year, through an “Anniversary Edition” of the EP, but due to a house move that put a holt on production, the idea was scrapped. The album was picked up again by Kieran in April of 2023, including the 6 tracks from the Temptation EP, as well as “Elixir” and multiple new and unreleased songs. A re-recorded version of "Strawberry Heart" was made, however it was left unreleased in favour of the original version as it had became iconic and well known with fans. In 2023, "Lonely Nights" was chosen to have a music video created and "Cute" was released as a Soundcloud & YouTube pre-release song. Both songs are not official singles, and would be counted as promotional singles as they were released to promote the album and build hype.
Because of the history of the album, and consistently being scrapped multiple times, this means that “Operation: Temptation” is the album that Kieran has spent the most time working on and took the longest time to finish, with sessions lasting from 2018 to 2023, which means the album took 6 years to complete, and 3 years to release, as the first single was released in 2020 and the album was released in 2023.
