On May 12, 2017, Avi Kaplan announced that he would be leaving the a cappella group Pentatonix after six years. In a video announcing his departure, Kaplan stated that although he enjoyed being in the group, he found it difficult to keep up with their schedule, which required him to spend less time with his family. His final show with the group was held at the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex Junction, Vermont, on September 3. Before his announcement, Kaplan began releasing music as an independent artist under the name Avriel & the Sequoias. His debut solo project Sage and Stone was released on June 9, 2017. After leaving Pentatonix, Kaplan parted ways with their label RCA Records and continued to release solo music. On November 5, 2019, he announced his second solo project I'll Get By, which was scheduled to be released on January 24, 2020. Its release was delayed to February 28 due to Kaplan signing with Fantasy Records. On November 15, 2021, Kaplan released the album's lead single "First Place I Go". He formally announced his debut studio album and released its second single, "All Is Well" featuring singer Joy Williams, on February 15, 2022. Critical reception
