Crazy (album)

## ***Crazy***Demo album by Sean Kennedy

* Standard
* Deluxe

***Crazy*** is the first demo album by singer-songwriter Sean Kennedy. The album was recorded between 2013-2018, but was later scrapped. Songs from the record were included on Sean's debut album, *Tell Me*, and even more were included on *Tell Me (Revisited)*.

## Background

Kennedy began writing songs in third grade, and began to plan an album around 2014-2015. In 2016, he told *The Strategist* that he had written 13 songs that he hoped to release. That following year, Sean met Shaul Dover, and the two recorded the track, "Nona". In mid 2018, the album was registered with the US Copyright Department, as well as with BMI, with 18 tracks (15 songs and three remixes), four of which were later included on *Tell Me*. On September 13, 2018, the album's 10th track, "Anyone" was released as Kennedy's debut single. Between 2018-2019, Sean pulled songs from *Crazy*, his second demo album, *The Next Chapter* and additional material to create his debut album. In several promotional photos for *Tell Me*, a photo of *Crazy's* album cover can be seen on Sean's desk. On August 29, 2021, Kennedy tweeted that he stumbled upon the cover for *Crazy* and "was hit with a wave of nastolgia". He went onto say:

> This month, three years ago, I was getting ready to release my debut single. These albums would eventually come together to make "Tell Me". Originally, I had planned to release both ["Crazy" and "The Next Chapter"], but I loved them both so much and I couldn't wait to release them, so I made them into one. Maybe one day I'll release some of the songs that didn't make it...

Kennedy discussed the record for the first time in his documentary, stating:

> There were two demo albums that I had made within the six year span that I was just learning how to make music. And, those were extremely important because they really shaped what I wanted to say with my music, and I learned so much from them.

With the inclusion of three more "vault songs" on *Tell Me (Revisited)*, almost half of *Crazy* has now been released. On December 1, 2022, the album's deluxe cover, and both track lists were leaked.
