Taking this aspirin and I know it’s so, so bad for me, that’s why I need you here…" – this track weaves through a raw emotional narrative, blending moments of vulnerability and longing with a sense of indulgence. Produced by Picolo and featuring BrizzyBadazz, the song is an introspective journey through the struggles of feeling lost, self-destructive habits, and the desperate need for love and connection. The lyrics are drenched in the haze of escapism, with references to overindulgence ("sipping on this Hennessy, vision getting blurry"), yet there’s a deep yearning to avoid loneliness and escape the weight of reality.

Growing, growing, gone… 

 Penrith, in the heart of the Lake District, is not the kind of place you can easily vanish.

Certainly not when the members of the Penrith Bingo Club are trying to track you down. But even stalwart sleuth, Amita Khatri, and her son in law, Jason, are foxed this time when a local woman tells them her husband, a mild-mannered academic has gone missing.

And he’s not the only person to disappear. Soon Amita, Jason, and irascible retired copper, Frank, are searching for more people – and some missing money to boot.

From the veg patches of Penrith to the shores of Ullswater, as Jason and Amita comb the Cumbrian countryside for clues, they soon realise they’ve stumbled a case where planting the evidence takes on a whole new meaning. And unless they can unearth some answers soon, they might be the next people to disappear…

Molly the Maid is used to being invisible. But it's time for her to shine in a brand new mystery…
*THE SPARKLING NEW MYSTERY FROM THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MAID*

––––– 

 Molly the maid is no stranger to secrets…

She sees everything behind closed doors at the Regency Grand hotel: wiping away the dust and grime of guests passing through.

But one secret lies much closer to home.

An old trinket – a faux Fabergé egg – is revealed to be a precious antique during an appraisal at the hotel, making Molly a rags-to-riches sensation. But no sooner has the egg shown its value than it’s stolen: vanishing without a trace.

Determined to crack the case of the missing Fabergé, Molly begins dusting for clues – uncovering a mystery that stretches deep into the past.

For in the pages of a long-forgotten diary, written by her late gran, lie the secrets that could unlock all others – and only Molly holds the key…

*это эсса*
*барбарики приснились, сука*

[куплет 1]
из за комплексов не выбраться тебе никак
ну не стесняйся, я же знаю тебе нужна помощь
я пытаюсь тебе помочь, пока я не иссяк
почему-то тебе нужны только лишь колёса
но чтоб ты знала, они уже в моих снах
да, я тебя дразню, пошли спать вместе
сон тебя спасёт от всего этого пиздеца
только положи руку прямо мне на сердце

[проигрыш]

[куплет 2]
я твой единственный повод жить, я это знаю
ведь сама ты понимаешь что всем на тебя безразлично
ты пообещала больше не вернуться к ****
пустые обещания - для тебя это в привычку
но я всё равно буду думать о том,
как поделить с тобой бокал на двоих
и забить хуй на то, что будет потом
и забить хуй на то, что для тебя я псих

[проигрыш]

[бридж]
родаки говорят, то что я наркоман и недотрога
(щиноки ноки ва)
в этом нет ничего плохого

[куплет 3]
может реально в первый раз я, сука, сбредил?
но, блять, не можешь быть ты таким плохим человеком
не спал ночами ради тебя и эссы
я вытащу тебя если будешь даже в пьяном бреде
да, конечно, я нисколько не в обиде
нахуй этих, бля, типов которые хотят быть с тобой
ведь в моей голове проснулась ревность
почему такая ебанутая вещь эта любовь?

ты и я

"Lips of Paradise" is a lush trop-pop meets dream-electro escape — think steel drums on acid, whispered vocals in a fever dream, and textures that melt like heatstroke hallucinations.

The track blends glitchy beats with ambient pads, soft harmonies, and pulsing synths to build a surreal, kaleidoscopic soundscape. It’s tropical, it’s twisted, it’s a sonic postcard from a beach that might not exist.

🐚 Made for late nights, pink skies, and lovers who ghost like sunsets.
