I thought I would like to share with you my cover of an Amy Winehouse song from her posthumous album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures. “Halftime” is one of a couple of songs whose lyrics reflected the crucial role music played throughout her tragic life. I wanted to warn you a little about the third verse: Amy had a very unique way of describing her love for traditional jazz, completely different from my own songs. However, it’s the drum patterns of Questlove that led me to cover this song. 

During her life, Amy longed to make a jazz album with Questlove, and sadly, her team wouldn’t allow her the opportunity. So after she passed, her producer Salaam Remi reached out to Questlove, so that the world could hear kind of the direction she wanted to go with that supergroup. However, I later found out that she wanted to perform a wild Duke Ellington album, which is a 180 from this song. I’m currently in the process of making an album inspired by that particular story, and would love to find some way for Questlove and the rapper Mos Def to record those Ellington songs with me, along with my own songs featuring a style like “Halftime.” Anyway, hope you like it. This was a fun cover to do!

Twist of Fate

Set against the backdrop of a beautiful and bashful lovers rock sample, "Thou Art" unravels the complexities of 32Burden's journey. Through poignant drawls and introspective lyrics, he delves into the depths of a tumultuous relationship, grappling with the echoes of his slave ancestors' struggles and sacrifices.

In the first half of the track, 32Burden navigates the intricacies of fame and influence, acknowledging the weight of his ancestors' legacies while charting his own path forward. The use of drawl adds a raw and visceral dimension to his narrative, offering a glimpse into the tangled emotions that define his existence.

As the song progresses, the second half takes a haunting turn as the track is played in reverse, casting an ominous shadow over the narrative. Amidst the eerie backdrop, 32Burden's voice rises with fervor, repeating the refrain "Thou Art made me stay awake," a testament to the divine intervention that spared him from the brink of despair.

Through "Thou Art," 32Burden transcends the boundaries of musical expression, weaving together elements of faith, heritage, and personal revelation into a tapestry of profound beauty and introspection. It's a testament to the transformative power of music to heal, inspire, and ultimately, illuminate the human spirit.
