I additionally performed the drums on it, my first instrument, so it’s new however on the similar time I’m coming again to my musical roots. Then I met Empress Of in Los Angeles and the morning earlier than going to the studio I used to be strolling to choose up my pockets I forgot and on the best way, I listened to this demo I had and thought ‘this is able to be the proper music to do along with her’. The vibes had been really easy, we wrote & recorded her voice in a couple of hours, I used to be so impressed by her tone – she’s one of the vital proficient singers I’ve ever met.
