Note: The quality, especially treble frequencies sound very distorted, not sure why, might be due to SoundCloud compressing the file (even though that hasn't happened before). The original file sounds much cleaner.

It's the second track from my EP entitled Kemura State. It's a story about a metaphorical death and rebirth, about being misunderstood and hated by the society, about the enemies in human and obstacle form, about overcoming hardship and being reborn from your own ashes like a phoenix. About hiding your 'demons' - pretending to be someone you're not, in order to be liked and accepted. And about the rejection we face once we reveal them and show the real us. It's also about feminism and the pressure that the society imposes on women by creating rules for us and putting us in boxes by creating false stereotypes. I will let the lyrics speak for themselves. It has a lot of hints and references to my own life and experiences.

Lyrics, music, production and singing by me.

The Phoenix (Demo)

Quite an experimental track - I was going for a slightly dark sound with elements of Dream Pop, world music and loads of reverb. I wanted to create a track that would feel very airy and atmospheric, with floaty and heavily reverberated vocals. Something that would feel like being in a dreamy state of calm and lightness. It was influenced by PBR&B, Dream Pop and my curiosity for world music. The lyrical theme is more typical to commercial pop music style, I tried to abstain from deeper lyrical meaning, in order to preserve the easy and chilled out mood of the song.

Dream of You

One of the rough recordings for my university project. This song lyrically is a metaphor about addiction and the destructive power it gains over people's lives. The production of this track was a pure experiment created in a freestyle mode, with no pre-direction whatsoever. This was made while I was massively inspired by dark sounds of Trip Hop, especially Massive Attack.
