Oozing with carefully crafted sonic layering, ´Empty’ is a club ready hit on the surface, but dives deeply into themes of existential longing and a desire to be loved within the lyrical content.

Joy (In My Own Time) (Zardonic Remix)

This is a cover of White Town's hit from the 90's. My interpretation of this song is slightly darker and heavier. I have recreated this song to promote my personal concern for the rights and wellbeing of transgender people, particularly women, who are at a higher risk of being physically and sexually abused than their cis counterparts. The line, 'I could never be your woman', for me, highlights a tragic truth that in our present society, transwomen are not widely accepted as simply being 'women'. This is an issue that needs addressing, in my view, to create a safer and more loving community for all.
