My song "Louvre” represents the part of me that's learning to be more vulnerable with the people I love and who have proven, by their trust and track record, to truly love me. By the same token, however, being a cautious, closed-book by nature, I am still careful to keep certain parts of myself and my story hidden. A louvre is a structure designed to allow air or light in, while keeping sunshine or moisture out. In other words, it's open to some elements, but acts as a barrier to others, just as I, despite how tight a bond may be, choose to meet people halfway. Some may call it "holding back," while I call it wisdom.

This song is a representation of the conversations had between me and the version of myself that writes freely in my diary. I really like that girl. She gets me.

Small Talk

The lyrics of "Spoiler" are actual conversations had between my big sister & me. She always says that her job will forever be to protect & support me, but even so, as a 21-year old woman entering adulthood, she won't coddle me. As she often assures me, "I believe in you. You're wise & have a keen sense of intuition." 

This track represents my fears/hopes/anxiety/excitement as I navigate the "roaring twenties."

Spoiler

In essence, "Under" represents me telling my internal 'stuff' that I wanna avoid, "chill, I’ll be with you shortly." Nobody likes confrontation, but especially the confrontation that occurs between you & your internal demons. 

This track is really me saying, "instead of coming to terms with myself, can't I just remain in denial & be judgmental of others instead? Eeven for just a little while longer."

Under

"Blvd" is an ode to my desire for my 'person.' While writing this song, I pictured myself in some kind of fantasy, ideal world with 'him,' primarily based in the 'honeymoon phase' of a budding story. I  laugh & sigh when I witness single people (who clearly desire a r/s) act as if "they don't need nobody, they good." Listen, you can be content alone while still wanting a future with someone else. It's okay. 

  "Blvd" is a reminder of this.

Now this one's the wild card of the ep. In the words of my own mother, "They're gonna think you're high or something, but I feel the nostalgia." 
This track embodies how I feel on my best days ... light, free, comfortable in myself, chaotic (in a v good way), & sometimes even crying happy tears. This song also serves as encouragement to do the absolute best you can with what you've been given. 

Maximize on those things & enjoy the fruits of your labour. You deserve it.

Lemons!

"Aloha" is meant to be the most cutest, carefree love song you'll ever hear (essentially). Just peaceful, nostalgic, summertime-fine kinda energy. 

This was the first original song I ever released to the world and it's still one of my favourite melodies I've ever written, to date.

GOD TOUCH

I wrote this song as a reminder to find joy in even the simplest things. Snuggling down in bed & watching your favorite shows, the warmth of sunshine on your skin after being indoors for most of the day, treating yourself to something sweet after passing a test you’ve prepared so much for, or even just the times when nothing’s happening, and it’s just you and your thoughts.
If we live life waiting for the next big moment, we’ll always miss all the little ones that, funny enough, often bring us the most joy.

Things I Like

Have you ever been there? There at the everything-is-going-wrong space. That dark, lonely, “God where are you?” space. That “I don’t know if I’ll make it outta this one” space. I have been there ... and in being there, I birthed my song, “Monday.” As a singer-songwriter, nothing gets me through a dark season like writing does; and not just writing, but writing from a place of “Wow, I made it out,” even while I’m still in the thick of it. "Monday" offers a change of perspective on that wretched space. As a society, we’ve labeled Mondays as lackluster, grim, and simply put, the worst day of the week. 
The title, “Monday,” is analogous to how we feel not only about the day itself, but about those dark spaces. Whether you’re just having a rough day, a rough week, or even a rough year, the lyrics of “Monday” are God’s gift to us all. I wrote this song, during one of the hardest seasons of my life, to remind myself that even on those dreary days, even in that hopeless pit, it's okay, because God has already been there. I took a look up from my situation and saw all of the beauty around me, despite my current state. I saw the friendly campus chipmunks, the way the sunlight lit up the snow, and the therapy dogs running so care-free. It all reminded me that God sees, He understands and He's there. Out of all the places He could be, He is there.

"Shelf Life" was written during a hella low time for me. I was experiencing some intense feelings of bitterness after ending a toxic relationship and helplessly cried out to God for Him to take this bitterness away so that I can HATE the person’s behaviour, but still love them (not slander) as a human being. That pill was super hard to swallow, but God held my hand through it. If you’ve been there or maybe that’s u currently, I promise u, it’s a work in progress, but you CAN do it. 🖤🖤🖤
