Take Me Back To California

Ever come across someone that would stop at nothing just to drag others down to make themselves feel better? I wont be stooping to that level.
This one is for them :) 

What lies within,
You’re always searching for a sin,
To help you win,

It’s just like you, 
Don’t matter what you say or do, 
It’s nothing new,
 
Oh where do we begin, 
I can’t be like you, 
When all the time, 
I always find you look too far within, 
Is now the time?
How am I gonna win?
I won’t let you in

How’s it going to be?
You shoot your arrows right at me, 
And hope I bleed, 

I could aim at you, 
Won’t matter what you say or do?
They won’t get through,

Oh where do I begin, 
I won’t be like you, 
When all the time, 
I always find I look too far within, 
But now’s the time
And I am gonna win
I won’t let you in

Won’t let you in

Won't Let You In (Unplugged)

Every day feels the same
I don't see anything new
Sometimes I feel like
I'm stuck in a time loop

I didn't want things to be this way
I really tried to change, to do things differently
But everything keeps leading me
Back to this same scenario

It's hard to do things differently
When everything stays the same
It's hard to persist when everything
Everything is falling apart
It's hard to pretend to be okay
When nothing is okay     

It's hard to pretend to be okay
When nothing is okay
Everyone claims to know
What I'm feeling

Everyone pretends to care
But the truth is, it's not like that
I don't want to repeat myself
But here I am, in this same scenario

It's hard to do things differently
When everything stays the same
It's hard to persist when everything
Everything is falling apart
It's hard to pretend to be okay
When nothing is okay  

Everyone pretends to care
But the truth is, it's not like that
I don't want to repeat myself
But here I am, in this same scenario

It's hard to do things differently
When everything stays the same
It's hard to persist when everything
Everything is falling apart
It's hard to pretend to be okay
When nothing is okay

Hard to Do

This song is a message of support and encouragement emphasising the importance of hope, healing, and seeing the good that can come in life knowing that things can get better.

Lyrics:

What can you see
Everything’s right in front of me
You’ll see better in the morning

I’ll be there for you
I know that you’ll understand me too
I just wanted to tell you the right thing

I want your hopes to be high
Is there any way I can help 
Do you want to be somewhere else

When there’s lows or there’s highs 
I just want to be there to help
I wouldn’t want to be somewhere else

What can we do
Build up your hope to help you too
Its time to get on with the healing

I’ll do it for you 
Help you see what’s right in front of you
And you’ll feel better in the morning 

I want your hope to be high
Is there any way I can help 
Do you want to be somewhere else

When there’s lows or there’s highs 
I just want to be there to help
I wouldn’t want to be somewhere else

Hope to Help

A haunting cinematic ballad exploring themes of unrequited love and silent observation. This melancholic composition weaves together rich piano melodies, ambient strings, and minimalistic electronic textures to create a deeply emotional soundscape. The narrative follows someone watching their beloved find happiness with another, capturing the bittersweet pain of loving from the shadows.

After Dark (feat. Ja'Niyla Kelly)

Motema Ézali Feu est un pur morceau Ndombolo de Kinshasa, vibrant, percussif et plein d’âme.
Ici, tout respire la rue, la fête et la vie congolaise : les guitares seben s’entrelacent, les ngoma frappent avec force, et les voix répondent en chœur dans une euphorie collective.

Cette chanson célèbre le feu du cœur, la passion et la joie de danser ensemble.
C’est la chaleur du maquis, les nuits sans fin de Kin, la sueur et le sourire d’un peuple qui ne s’éteint jamais.

Un hommage à la vraie musique congolaise — vivante, libre et contagieuse.

Motema ezali moto, motema ezali feu!
Ndombolo ya solo, ya bana Kin.
Ba guitare ezali kolia, ba ngoma ezali kobéta, batu nyonso bazali kokanga motema na rythme.
Tokotambola, tokosakana, tokobina ti na suka ya butu.

Eza nzembo ya bomoyi, ya lokumu, ya motema makasi.
Congo ezali kosangisa biso lisusu, ndenge kaka ndombolo esengeli.

Motema Ézali Feu is a pure Congolese Ndombolo anthem, straight from the heartbeat of Kinshasa.
Explosive guitars, layered percussion, joyful chants — it’s the sound of a city that never sleeps and a people who dance through everything.

This is not fusion — it’s Kinshasa in full motion, raw and beautiful.
From the first whistle to the last clap, Motema Ézali Feu burns with passion, pride, and groove.
