The sinking feeling I get in my heart and balls when I hear a news story about immigrants, channelled into song.

LYRICS: 
When tragedy strikes 
I hold my breath and
turn on TMZ

and hope to god 
the suspect in question 
doesn't look like me

or believe the same things as me
or eat the same things as me 
or made it over here on the the same boat as me
now i can’t sleep

[breaking news:
the suspect is a Nigerian student
from a good home]

god, i wish i were white*

Life in Exile
don’t feel at home here
Life in Exile
i’ll make a home here

Now they’re building 
a wall to keep the bad guys out
and make us safe again

if it works out right 
we’ll all be white,
rich and great again

but my visa running out
all my options running out
what side of the wall
will i come down on?  

and i can’t sleep
[breaking news:
He who must not be named to be 
the next president of the united states]

god, i wish i were white*

Life in Exile
don’t feel at home here
Life in Exile
i’ll make a home here

*Christian, more straight, less foreign, a model minority etc.

Afro Urban Cupid Shuffle (Soft Husband + Nkei Gbedutronic Remix)

2016 was a rough, dense and layered year. I also danced a lot.

I think that's what this song's about.

Strange Change (2016 Demo)

2016. A lot of raw + anxious.

All of my songs from mid-2016 sound like middle-aged angst, like "one of the guys from the National just went of his meds" middle-aged angst - like "Trump is looking like he's going to win" - angst. 

I sent this to my old writing partner and she called me to ask, "how are you doing, hun?"

I was like "lol, what do you mean? I'm not even living in constant terror or anything. (Is it that bad, god, help me!)"

Like my buddy Claudia says, "times are tough for us sensitive people."

Lyrics:
You’re a flirt and I like it 😘
Every look, hip shake’s a sign
Consenting and inviting
Gonna have ourselves a time
Tender motions, tender sighs
Every contour in your thigh
In this moment, nothing matters
I am here.

Won’t you 
hold me closer
Dip me dear
Savor each second
Til the fall is here
Hold this fleeting,
Passing feeling
Forever in your mind.
Forever you’ll be mine (for now)

Dip Me Slow (Lost MPC Demo)

Soft Husband is an electronic pop project by Mayowa Tomori, a Nigerian producer who now calls Oakland, CA home. Their songs are written and programmed on an AKAI MPC, using vintage drum machines, synthesizers and snatches of samples from Game Boys, and acoustic instruments. They make music for sad, queer babes to twerk by. (Also, they mean "Soft" like tender, not like erectile disfunction)
