SPECIAL THANKS
‘SIGNS’
Released April 2023
Signs for me represents our brains delving deep into the meanings of inanimate objects & ideas (like horoscopes, myths or superstitions) in order for us to make sense of things, which is beautifully peculiar. There have been many times in my life where I have attached good or bad things that happened to me with a superstition or ‘sign’, and my mind goes wild trying to make connections. There are times where it has gotten a bit sinister and I started believing these things so much that it would affect my life. I look back and reflect and see how powerfully creative your mind can become deciphering these fictions. I wanted to represent this with intricate & interesting synth sounds and samples, nostalgic moments, and a playground for the sounds going wild (like one’s mind). So I was very particular in the creation of the sounds and world for this song down to the very last detail.
‘HOLD YOU’
Released August 2023
Hold You is about being overcome with sexual attraction to someone who you don’t know, no matter what state you are in, and viciously following that through.
My thought for the film clip was to represent me being suffocated by my everyday life, being completely burned out and knocked down and just wanting to go out and get messy. Rather than put this ‘suffocated’ feeling aside and go out, drink, dance and have a good time, I would use the frustration to elevate my free and reckless experience and using that energy with someone I don’t know and feeling it with them sexually. So the pain and pleasure coincides, which I’ve tried to represent breathing through the plastic and staining my lipstick all over it.
I am really drawn to music and music videos that have something that’s a bit “off” about it or is really dramatic or theatrical. Like I love how Charli xcx has used this kind of pop shell, but fucks it up with crazy samples and synths and manipulates her vocal sound using it as like textures. I’m also drawn to anything theatrical that takes me on a journey, videos like Travis Scott Highest in the Room, Michael Jackson Thriller, Childish Gambino This is America.
‘TOUCH ME’
Released November 2023
Touch Me is a chaotic dance anthem that expresses owning your chaotic, sexy, messy, slutty, crazy self while melting into the night with dancing bodies and throbbing bass.
The vision for Touch Me is to show the darker, consensual side of being touched , looking at it more as being in a space of pain and messiness but still being able to experience pleasure physically.
This song came about after I had an awful day, my mental health & emotions were all over the place, but I looked fucking fantastic. I went out that night and just owned the mess I was in, and used the music, alcohol & bodies around me to escape. There is a state of euphoria that music can transport you too, and when I listen to Touch Me, that’s exactly where I go.
