Glorious Game

Grateful

For “Straight Drop”, I wanted something that got right to who Franklin was becoming, while still not fully getting to who he totally became. At this point in the album, Franklin has started his new career path and has seen some of the fruits of his labor, but more importantly he sees what probably lies ahead, and it’s inspiring him to mash on the gas. I wanted the beat to be a trunk rattler, reflecting the aura of dope boys riding around to something that would act as a theme song for them, regardless of if the story being told on it is predicting what their future outcome may be. The brash bravado, the acknowledgment of this whole new world, the spotlight, all while trying to keep a mask on for anonymity; “you can thank me in advance, don’t even mention it…”. It all comes together on a song that on the first listen is a head nodder, and by the third is a red light of what’s to come. The Other Guys nailed what I was going for sonically, leaving room for me to bring it home, full swing. “So picture me comparing the look on a junkie’s face/ to the look on my mama’s face when her money’s late/ and we’re mirror to mirror, there’s no cutaways/ so excuse me for choosing to peak the other way…”   -Skyzoo

"The idea behind 'Hearing Is Seeing' was to take a complex Music Theory device, like serial tonal structures, and make it feel more approachable. 

Along with that, the song was inspired by the idea of synesthesia (the phenomena of seeing sounds), in a few different ways. It’s a nod to the feeling of gaining wisdom, insight, and understanding from being open and listening deeply – but also, to seeing things first and hearing them second. 

Taking a more literal approach to the latter in this case, the harmonic structures that form the base of the song were designed to look aesthetically pleasing on paper. For example, in the chorus, the tonal centers for the chords are spiraling notes circling inward, and then the “B" sections of the song make use of symmetrical modes. 

But, perhaps more importantly – both the top-line and the groove of the track are there to glue it all together – to remind us to not get too caught up in all of the technical stuff that's under the hood here, and to instead just feel it."

"Love Lagoon"

She walks past here every day now, you bet I stare
She looks at me then she looks away, she doesn't care

But now I, will let her go
Because she, will never know

You Bet I Stare
