“youdecide. is a fresh new group project, eclectic in sound and vibrant in nature that explores themes akin to the artists that make up the reflective collective. Drawing on inspirations from hip-hop, R&B and gospel, this project speaks boldly on life as a young adult in a fast-paced world, while providing gorgeous grooves and head bobbing anthems for any time of year.” - davecreates

“youdecide. is for community, it’s a sound that provides support in the difficult times and it’s a sound people can vibe to in the good times. All 4 of us came together through our talent but most importantly, our friendship. We experimented with our sound to produce something so great - a 3-track project, short but sweet, meaningful and impactful. They say ‘all good things come in 3s’ after all!” - Offs

This project is about unity. We came together to encourage each other and show the beauty of what can be achieved when we have God at the centre and family by our side. - frxncsca

The project shows what happens when people are unified and let go of their individualism and embrace collaboration. youdecide. allowed all of us to exercise our creativity in different ways whether it was through songwriting, producing, song structuring and even knowing how to navigate in a way that promotes new ideas collectively in a studio environment. - BRLY.

Come closer to Me; I have all that you need
Come closer to Me; I am all that you need
Because I have made a place for you

Come Closer

a little something i wrote... inspired by a spanky x flying lotus drum cover.

lyrics.
i, kill em with the kindness
make the music timeless
and time again until they rewind it
woah 

melanin aside
i'm one of a kind 
when i get to rhyming 
stylin'
and i'm not near to priming 
finding every pocket 
then dive in
it's the fat of lan'
we dividing 

i watch the game
then i put the time in
suite presidential 
i'm abiding (biden) 
ah! 

i ain't done refining 
i'm inclined 
to fill your sinus
with the curry and goat
my climate filled 
with royalty 
call your highness 
when you're calling me
i'm the pilot
he's the plane
i fly beside him

never with the violence, ah
bruda that was silent, climbing 
now we on a wave
like odysseus we trying not to hear the sirens, ah

treasure hunting pirates, ah
already found my guidance, ah
invisible compliance (faith) 
guess i'm going wireless  

so i carry my coat
waters all around i paddle my boat 
all was foggy till the clarity spoke
if you wanna live, carry the yoke
and die to self like murder she wrote

son of God, yeah that's my only hope
spirit high, i don't handle a toke
in my bag like i'm wearing a tote 
message me or leave it after the tone
goat talk i'm forever involved
individuality in my tone
i'm never a clone.

Feelings X Convictions

Growing up, I always lit up at the idea of space travel. The thought of taking flight on a rocket ship and seeing the Earth from a whole new perspective peaked my ever-growing curiosity. Astronaut’s are considered to be pioneers because they take flight and go where mankind has never been.

In a similar fashion, when we begin the journey to making our dreams become reality, we are potentially becoming pioneers for those around us, and even for ourselves. But before we take to the skies, we often encounter a moment, a moment where we realise the scale of what we’re setting out to achieve, and what it’ll take to get there. We may realise that the journey will be tough and longer than expected, but something within still propels us to continue the pursuit and reach for the skies above.

“one day i will fly” is an exploration of that moment. The moment where you see the dream you know and deeply hope will become a reality in your life, while acknowledging that it may take a while to get there.

I heard it said that like an explorer, you cannot find anything new if you are not willing to leave the shore. My hope is that as you listen, you too will find the courage to realise where you need to step towards and do so with wisdom and faith. You will never know what lies beyond your horizon until you set out to see it.

I may not have reached my destination yet, but one day i will fly.

Reflective are a collective of 4 artists: davecreates, Offs, frxncsca & BRLY. They came together after a co-writing session in the studio and produced an EP as a result! Each member described what ‘Reflective’ means to them:

“As we use our creative gifts we reflect the one who gave them to us.” - davecreates

“Reflective is the result of friendship and experimentation equals shining the light of God to everyone around us!” - Offs

“Reflective - is about shining our light together as a team. With passion and creativity we aim to reflect the heart of our Father.“ - frxncsca

Reflective is a collective that reflects Christ. Through the gifts and talents he’s bestowed in us. Reflect + Collective = Reflective. - BRLY.
