Hey onion headz,
It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Life’s been life-ing, but I’m back with some exciting updates! Since we last connected, I’ve dropped a couple of new tracks and collaborated on some dope projects you might’ve caught on IG. If not, no worries—I’ve got you covered right here.
In October, I released “Swing Dance,” produced by Jota Rodriguez and featuring my cousin Chris Anderson. After tackling some serious topics in my previous songs, I wanted to bring something fun to the table—and “Swing Dance” does just that. It pairs perfectly with "1920s," if I do say so myself. This track has been my fastest-growing release yet! So thank you if you've already streamed it! If you haven’t heard it, check it out below.
I also did the cover art for "Swing Dance." You’ll notice that the patrons in the foreground have their eyes covered, while the figures in the background, though not fully visible, still radiate energy. This was intentional—I wanted the art to convey a spiritual message: those who are focused on the physical can’t see, but those who connect with their energy have true vision.
In April, I dropped “time bomb,” produced by Szur, and this one hits close to home. The song reflects on past love and love lost, all set to a soul sample with J Dilla-esque drums. One of you onion headz even described the hook as “infectious in the best way possible,” and I couldn’t agree more. Take a listen to “time bomb” below.
For the cover art of “time bomb,” I took inspiration from “Good Will Hunting” and its themes of genius, stubbornness, and almost losing out on love. I felt it resonated with my own experiences, and I drew from the iconic scene where Robin Williams’ character talks about soulmates—something Mac Miller sampled on his track “Soulmate.”
Do you have a soul-mate?.. Someone who challenges you in every way. Who takes you places, opens things up for you. A soul-mate... You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world where you're afraid to take the first step because all you're seeing are the negative things that might happen ten miles down the road.
Fun fact: the phone number on the cover (T:463-2662) actually spells out “time bomb.”
