In "FALL TO PIECES", De Villiers verbalises someone facing the ups and downs of a rocky relationship. Blending elements of indie pop and electronica, it creates a vibe that feels intimate, heartfelt and anthemic.

The lyrics portray both a desperation and a longing, whilst pleading with someone not to fall apart. There's powerful imagery of fire and dreams to represent the struggle between wanting to hold on and the fear of losing everything. A sense of a deep need for connection is woven into the song, with the idea of creating a "little shrine" for memories reflecting on both the good times and the tough moments.

It’s a relatable story about love, hope, and the fear of being alone, perfectly capturing the emotional rollercoaster that comes with caring for someone deeply. We hope it stops time for you & makes you think of someone you care about.

"MODERN LOVE" is a song that portrays the difference between vulnerability and freedom. There are 2 characters: A male suggesting the female needs shelter and support, and a female declaring her independence and self-worth. - It's a scene where two people are coming to an understanding. There is a strong sense of personal empowerment throughout the song, especially in the uplifting chorus. It was written to be a powerful and uplifting song in both it's instrumentation as well as it's lyrical content. Enjoy!

"STAY" is a confident, bold and driving Pop EDM journey with a powerful, anthemic vocal delivered by Tyson Bradock. At it's core, the song is about the moment when you know you should walk away, but you just can't resist. It's an exploration of the internal struggle between your heart saying yes, but your mind saying no. Like that one cigarette after a night out, the rush of driving faster than you should, or stealing that kiss—you know it's wrong, but it feels so damn good.

Tyson's relatable narrative, paired with the pulsating, synth heavy, driving EDM production by Gear, creates an experience that is going to connect with listeners on a much deeper level.

Give in to your temptations and stream "STAY" now! Indulge yourself.
