Soaring is a warm, uplifting soul record about gratitude, love, perseverance, and finding the courage to rise above whatever life puts in your way. The album carries an unmistakably positive spirit. With its soulful heart, affirming message, flashes of humor, and emphasis on human connection, Soaring is ultimately about lifting people up: love what you have, believe in who you are, keep moving when you fall, and never be afraid to spread your wings and see how high you can go.

T.oB was conceived in 2016 as a project by songwriter Chris Bartlett aka PugXXL. For 40 years, he continues to write and record his songs at home as time allows and now uses AI to create versions of these songs for an alternative listening experience. He continues to hone his craft in Florida, in between answering support calls for a software company and while avoiding thunderstorms and hurricanes as often as possible.

Original lyrics and melodies are preserved. Production created using Suno.
