Learn to Love Again is Joe Reilly’s first non-children’s album in over a decade (Reilly has released 4 children’s albums and 5 grownups albums since 2001). Appropriate for all ages, the album shares the depths of Joe’s spiritual journey of healing and transformation. The first two singles, Day of Peace (released 1-1-25) and Infinite Hearts - Decolonization Mix (released 2-17-25) are two examples that show the musical and lyrical diversity of the album while highlighting Reilly’s vision for peace and healing from personal suffering as well as the historical and ongoing collective traumas caused by white supremacy and colonization.
