This last chapter has been a long time in the making. I've been working on this album for about a year and a half since DESIRE dropped, with the majority of it was made during the Black Lives Matter 2020 movement, COVID-19, and the subsequent quarantine/lockdown in 2020. I've felt trapped for a long time, but the feeling intensified this year. I'm grateful to be in a position where I'm not totally isolated or alone and that I have food to eat, whereas millions of people this year have had to suffer lockdown in abusive situations, pressure from being or with food insecurity due to gross negligence by the federal government and society in general. Being in lockdown also changed how I worked on music: with more people at home, I had to shift my production in the box which lead admittedly to more work being produced, but less of my production involving acoustic or electric instruments, including guitar and voice. But necessity is the mother of invention, and scarcity is its cousin. So I set out to make a body of work that reflects and is a culmination of all I've been feeling during that period of time and since my last major album. Themes and feelings that have been present since DESIRE up until now, as well songs that investigate and contextualize these feelings in the broad sense of destiny and of the future. There are lyrics and samples that reflect the feeling of despair I feel at times. Like there isn't a way out. And if there is, I can't see it.. Feelings of being trapped by a career and passion that I've devoted all my time and poured everything into without the financial stability to live on my own. The feeling of shame I feel of being 27 and still living at home. The feeling of disappointment week after week of being rejected by companies for 4+ years. Of not being able to make it at a major music studio in the city because my skin wasn't thick enough. The one opportunity I had for a steady career in something I'm passionate about and I blew it. I cried back on the train because I let my family, my friends, and myself down. People that have sacrificed everything for me and friends that let me crash on their couch. And there are melodies and loops littered throughout the record that portray the wrath I feel watching my unarmed Black and Brown brothers/sisters continue to be unjustly murdered by police. Immigrant communities and students being maliciously deported without a second thought to their humanity. To our own collective humanity. Feelings of frustration I felt watching protestors being dispersed with excessive brutality and tear gas or watching journalists' rights being trampled by an authoritarian and militant police force.
