From the moment siblings Bethany Blanchard and Joshua and Manny Humlie first stepped on the "America's Got Talent" stage in May, it's been full speed ahead.
From being in and out of the studio between trips from McMinnville to Los Angeles to jumping right back into the studio once their time on "America's Got Talent" ended, taking a break was never the plan.
And their diligence is about to pay off with the release of their debut album, scheduled for Friday, Dec. 14.
But fans have an opportunity to hear the album before it goes public.
The trio will headline Portland's Crystal Ballroom Wednesday, Nov. 28, and perform all 12 songs on the self-titled album, which will be available for pre-order on iTunes the same day.
"We have always wanted to play that venue, so, we (are) so excited," Blanchard, 25, said. "Everyone who comes on Nov. 28 will hear all of the new songs for the first time before the record comes out."
The album features the four songs We Three performed on "America's Got Talent" — "Heaven's Not Too Far," "So They Say," "Lifeline" and "Makeup" — plus eight new originals.
The finale song they never got to perform on "America's Got Talent" also is on the track list.
Although they are known for heartfelt and personal original songs like the ones performed on "America's Got Talent," fans shouldn't expect every track on the album to make them cry, said Manny Humlie, 22.
He describes the album as honest; each song exhibiting different colors and themes reflecting what they felt in the moment they wrote them.
"We have taken the best of everything that we have done thus far in terms of writing and have put it on this record," he said.
We Three made it to the semifinals on "America's Got Talent" by performing nothing but original music. After their audition aired in late-May, it was as if the three sibling's lives changed overnight.
Social media exploded after their performance of "Heaven's Not Too Far," a song written as a tribute to their late-mother who lost her battle to cancer in January 2016.
Their audition alone has more than 80 million views on Facebook.
The group's goal was to expand their fan base, give them exposure and a platform to share their music, not winning the "America's Got Talent" competition.
"Getting off the show and starting this part was the goal," said Manny Humlie. "We were so excited to get in and start playing music and playing shows and to have people hear our music."
"It felt like we actually started our career."
Being contestants opened doors for the band, including connecting with agencies, recording music videos and performing the national anthem at the Minnesota Vikings vs. Arizona Cardinals game.
And fans can anticipate an early-2019 tour in the states, Blanchard said, with details not yet released.
