Don’t Let Me Down is about not being able to fully trust and commit to a relationship because your afraid of going through heartbreak. This song is for all my people who wear their hearts on their sleeve. 

Shoutout to Jordan (Hi5music) for bringing this song to life and producing an amazing track as always!

'A Rose from the Ashes' is an enchanting and otherworldly journey through sound, a psychedelic electronic track that invites you to get lost in its sun-drenched, dream-like melodies, designed for those moments when you want to drive into the sunset of your mind.

The track seamlessly weaves together the warmth of organic samples with the ethereal allure of electronic synths. It's a harmonious fusion of analog and digital elements, creating a lush and vibrant soundscape that envelops you in its embrace. The result is a unique sonic palette that's both nostalgic and futuristic, a soundscape that lures you deeper with every note. Its dreamlike quality is like a beautiful mirage, forever just out of reach, yet somehow within your grasp.

To complement this psychedelic masterpiece, the accompanying music video is a visual journey in itself. It features a continuously shifting and mutating face, which perfectly mirrors the song's ever-evolving qualities. The visuals take you on a mesmerizing trip, enhancing the dreamlike nature of the track and providing a captivating audio-visual experience.
