I declare you the winner
You're my longest reigning queen
But the sun sets on our time
There'll be no diamond jubilee
I'm no saint I'm a sinner
And your record's hardly clean
There's a balance to set right 
And yeah you know it

Cos lately I've been thinking about the
birds eye view
I never told a lie about you
I know that I deserved that too
Yeah lately, baby, thinking bout the birds eye view
I never told a lie about you 
I guess I'm just the one that 

Had a good time but I gotta go
Yeah it's bittersweet but you gotta grow
So I'll tell you now what I'm going to do
Gunna spend my life with another you
You had good credit but you're going bust 
Just like Mayer imma a sing about trust
So I'll tell you now what I'm going to do
Gunna spend my life with another you

Say bye bye, bye bye, to you
Bye bye, bye bye to you

Tell your fam that I love em long time 
Til the end I will love u all time 
Not gunna hide it'll hurt a long time
But its gunna take time to heal

So don't tell me all the lies that you're gunna tell
Don't try to make it better down at my hotel,
I don't doubt it baby, yeah you knew me well 
But you now a stranger to me

Summertimes at Sunshine Beach
Late night drinks and a stairwell kiss
Bought a ticket overseas two weeks
No one ever made me feel like this
All the times that you said it to me
Nowhere else that you'd rather be 
Wild nights when it seemed so real
Now it's so hard to know

ABOUT SPECTORAL & BACKLIGHTS THAT BLIND US:

Following three successful EPs, Spectoral has built a name for himself as an innovative collaborator, endlessly exploring the boundaries of pop, hip-hop and R&B. But he's never released a debut album... until now.

Boasting over 1.3 MILLION streams and a considerable fanbase, music publications such as Pilerats and Notion have compared Spectoral's sound to world-class contemporaries such as James Blake, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Joji and Flume.

Black artists of the avant-garde have always defined the future.Blackspace: On the Poetics of an Afrofuture is the culmination of six years of multidisciplinary research by trans poet and curator Ana&#239s Duplan about the aesthetic strategies used by experimental artists of color since the 1960s to pursue liberatory possibility. Through a series of lyric essays, interviews with contemporary artists and writers of color, and ekphrastic poetry, Duplan deconstructs how creative people frame their relationships to the word, &#8220liberation.&#8221 With a focus on creatives who use digital media and language-as-technology&#8213luminaries like Actress, Juliana Huxtable, Lawrence Andrews, Tony Cokes, Sondra Perry, and Nathaniel Mackey&#8213Duplan offers three lenses for thinking about liberation: the personal, the social, and the existential. Arguing that true freedom is impossible without considering all three, the book culminates with a personal essay meditating on the author&#8217s own

New radio project I just started, this time it's straight forward about all the variety of genres and subgenres I like to play out. And because the amount of versatility is as real as the struggle that comes along with it, the idea is to talk a bit more about the music in this case - where it's coming from, who created it, and why the heck I think all this should be combined this way, instead of just playing a more homogenic and less adventureous mixture for two hours.
Enjoy!
