With her upcoming album Easier Done than Said, Christi Flis takes a bold step forward, blending deeply personal storytelling with universal themes of resilience and healing. Known for her evocative voice and introspective lyrics, Christi describes this project as the culmination of years of transformation. “This album is my way of letting emotions and experiences breathe,” she says. “It’s about connection, vulnerability, and finding hope in the midst of chaos.”
The past few years brought profound challenges for Christi, much like for the rest of the world. The pandemic, with its isolation and uncertainty, became a backdrop for rediscovering her creativity. It was a time of reckoning and growth, allowing her to turn raw emotions into a collection of songs that reflect the human spirit’s ability to endure. “There’s something powerful about creating in the middle of upheaval,” Christi explains. “It strips everything down to what really matters.”
Easier Done than Said is more than just a musical offering—it’s a reflection of what it means to navigate life’s twists and turns. Tracks like Let the Walls Come Down serve as invitations to listeners to embrace their authentic selves, shedding fears and insecurities along the way. “The beauty of music is its ability to create a mirror,” Christi shares. “It lets you see yourself in a new light and feel understood.”
Christi’s creative process is grounded in routine and discipline. From long walks in nature to moments of stillness before writing, she focuses on finding clarity amidst inspiration. These rituals became even more essential during the pandemic, offering her a way to stay anchored while crafting an album that speaks to universal experiences. “It’s easy to get lost in creativity,” she says, “but those grounding moments ensure the work stays honest and true.”

As she prepares to bring Easier Done than Said to audiences, Christi is energized by the thought of connecting with fans through live performances. “There’s nothing quite like the magic of sharing music in person,” she says. “It’s where the stories I’ve told come to life in real time.” Whether it’s an intimate venue or a larger stage, Christi views these moments as sacred, where the energy exchanged between artist and audience creates a bond that words alone cannot capture.
In addition to live performances, Christi plans to engage with fans through social media, offering behind-the-scenes glimpses into her creative journey. “Sharing the process makes the music even more personal,” she explains. “It’s a way to invite people into the world where these songs were born.”
With this new album, Christi Flis is proving once again that music has the power to heal, connect, and transform. Her art serves as a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, there’s light to be found—and stories worth sharing. For Christi, Easier Done than Said is not just an album; it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring strength of hope.
