I said “I CANT FEEL MY FACE!” 

| 🫂 | 🖤 | 💀 |

One evening I was having a collaborative session with Terance Elam when the seed of this song was laid in fertile soil and watered over many months. After prompting me to record a Chorus idea I started humming and putting words to, I seized at the opportunity to lean into the outlet this track provided. In addition to incredible production, Cool-T also laid down the low haunting background vocals in the first bridge section of the track. In my opinion this and the last section that ends eith the gunshot (which he helped me write also) make this song what it is. 

Sweet Embrace is about engaging with our mortality. Personally I had a lot of stocked up emotions when writing this track surrounding events in my life leading up to the session that day. Trauma aside, or inside, I felt it was a good time to confront not only mortality but also my agnosticism at the same time. This exploration is just that, a journey; through the Christian beliefs I was raised inside, the deviation from those teachings and the persistence of spirituality in my life. Trust in the process till losses turn into bands… whatever that means

Note on the collaborator(s)

Cool-T is easily a large part for why this entire project came together. Aside from mixing almost all of the tracks I cannot say enough about how much he played a key role in my understanding of the music industry, producer-artist dynamics, and work life balance. His creative ear is certainly something of the extraordinary. It was a pleasure meeting and working with you on this project.
