Renowned for producing RIAA-certified hits across the pop and indie music scenes, Jeoff Harris has redefined his creative boundaries with the re-release of Cathartic Fall’s debut album. This project showcases Harris’ signature blend of immersive ambient soundscapes with raw, emotional narratives centred around grief, loss, anxiety, and personal growth.
This re-release expands the Cathartic Fall universe with unique collaborations featuring some of today’s most influential voices in poetry and mental health. The album consists of five tracks, with spoken word performances over the songs “Before The Fall,” “Breathe,” “Just This,” “Sometimes Words Just Get In The Way,” and “Strong As Death.” These tracks spotlight introspective poems by Whitney Hanson, Allie Michelle, and Trev Cimenski, alongside the transformative mental health insights of Matthias J Barker.
Coming on the heels of Cathartic Fall’s self-titled debut, which explored themes of self-discovery and emotional release, this re-imagined project deepens its emotional resonance through the power of spoken word. Harris intertwines these evocative songs with the voices of renowned poets, adding another dimension to his work. As a testament to the collaborative nature of the project, the featured poets experienced the final version of the album for the first time during its launch event, making the release an unforgettable moment for both artists and fans.
The album was introduced with an exclusive online live event that highlighted a deeply personal moment of artistic connection, underscored by Cathartic Fall’s cinematic tones. Matthias Barker, Whitney Hanson, and Allie Michelle were among the special guests attending live from Nashville. Following the event, the album was made available to stream exclusively on Spotify. Notably, 50% of the streaming proceeds from the first ten days will be donated to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), reflecting the album’s focus on mental health awareness and support.
Jeoff Harris has spent over a decade shaping the music industry, producing Billboard #1 hits, including Madelline’s “I’m Only Here for the Beat. He also contributed to viral sensations like Royal & The Serpent’s RIAA-certified gold record “Overwhelmed.” Despite his success behind the scenes, Harris’ need for self-expression led to the birth of his solo project, Cathartic Fall, debuting earlier this year with the original, Cathartic Fall, album.
With this re-release, Harris continues to push creative boundaries, merging music, poetry, and mental health advocacy into a singular, emotionally charged experience. Fans can expect an intimate, transformative listening journey through this expanded project.

Jeoff also helped shape viral sensations, notably Royal & The Serpent’s explosive RIAA certified gold record ‘Overwhelmed’.
