“I wrote this song for Daniel — athletic, self-assured, a beam of light. I imagined going on a run with him. This song came out of me 100 percent complete.”

“Initially, I wrote this all on guitar and a GarageBand drum beat in 2022 or 2023, none of which made it into the final version. I came home from a night with a guy during which I had a pretty unpleasant memory pop up and wig me out during what was supposed to be a fun time. It unlocked a lot of unpleasant memories/anger during what was supposed to be a sexy, fun time, and I wanted to turn it into a celebration of catharsis.”

“We felt it didn’t have enough grit — until now. We’re super proud of what the track has become; it sounds massive.”

“I think it’s very on brand for me - something that makes you wanna dance with super depressing lyrics. If that’s my legacy, I’ll die happy.”

“It follows my journey to where I am now—speaking on the abuse, standing in my truth, and calling on others to stand up for one another and themselves.”

“Lyrically, the song explores the growing difficulty of forming meaningful connections in adulthood, while reflecting on the rare, almost idealistic friendships of the past.”

“I wanted this track to feel like a surrender. It’s about a passive sort of acceptance that you just let pull you under. It’s floaty, it’s moody, and it’s meant to be lived in.”

“As a queer person, I’ve spent a lot of time imagining all the different life scenarios and possibilities of who I could be, who I should be, who I want to be and who I actually am.”

“I’ve played some of these songs live and it feels like a balm. I’ve loved hearing how they’ve helped people remember, feel and be seen.”

“Loophole explores the feeling of mentally stepping outside yourself when someone is yelling at you, using restraint and distance as a way to survive. I think it’s very on brand for me - something that makes you wanna dance with super depressing lyrics. If that’s my legacy, I’ll die happy.”

“‘It’s Not That Funny’ relates to trying to convince your therapist you’re funny and that anything that’s happened to you wasn’t all that bad.”

“This song is about the emotional crash that happens when you stop running from yourself. When you finally let everything you’ve been holding in rise to the surface, it can completely flood you.”

“This EP is for yearners, for the insecure, and for anyone fighting battles in their head. I’ve learned so much about myself through writing it — including accepting the uglier parts of who I am.”

“It’s about not being ready to feel my feelings. Like life is happening on the other side of a heavy curtain — like each day is a drill for the real thing.”

“We turned this small acoustic song upside down into this powerful statement. It’s about not being heard as a woman — being called ‘too much’ or ‘too loud’, and learning to stop shrinking yourself.”

“[Local Girl, Always Tired] is about that feeling: being stuck in a small town that doesn’t align with who you are, dreaming of a bigger life, aching to escape.”

“It’s just how I was feeling. A new year, fresh energy. I grew up watching Nigerian football — Okocha, Kanu, Taribo, Celestine — all these guys had speed. Speed makes me move. You can pause but never stop.”

“‘Medical Emergency’ was born after a life-altering breakup left me in A&E with actual heart problems. My coping mechanism has always been leaning into fantasy and comedy during dark times. The character in the song thinks all the nurses fancy them—it’s ridiculous, delusional, and fun.”

“It’s a nod to the mystery of where we come from and who we are. I wanted the record to start with the first breath of darkness into morning light… the old world into the new.”

“Honey, I’m Home is just my raw feelings — unfiltered. Some songs are so honest I thought, ‘this can never come out’. If you’ve dated me or hurt me, there’s probably a track about you. These are my secrets.”
