Aftermath is the second chapter in the emotional narrative that began with Rooms We Never Left.

Where the first album explored attachment, memory, and the quiet weight of unresolved feelings, Aftermath shifts into the phase that comes once everything finally breaks — the moment after the door closes, when the emotional noise fades and reality settles in.

This project captures the psychological landscape that follows a major heartbreak: the exhaustion, the numbness, the loss of patience, and the first sparks of rebuilding. Instead of lingering in sorrow, the album leans into a sharper tone — part rap, part alternative — reflecting a mindset that’s more detached, self-protective, and unfiltered.

New Music 030: When the Dark Envelops

a collection of moments that lived inside my chest too long—a quiet world of dark red echoes, late–night thoughts, and feelings I couldn’t say out loud.
each track carries its own shadow, its own pulse, its own memory. some hurt. some heal. some simply exist.

thank you for listening.
i hope you find a piece of yourself in the silence between the notes.

unsteady

A song about feeling disconnected from yourself, trying to remember what it’s like to feel alive again.

Flesh and Bone

sounds raw, honest, imperfect.
just like me.

Independent artist sharing pieces of my heart through sound. Creating vibes, emotions, and late-night melodies.

kovi.
albuquerque’s most consistent overthinker.
i make sad alt-pop/rap because therapy costs too much.
soundcloud gets every song first, even the ones i should’ve kept in the drafts.

Been rapping since I was 8 years old. Just out here trying to be real and authentic
