Being Human in Public

Gritty, raspy vocals meeting sparse acoustic guitar and heavy R&B beats. A raw, seven-track document of modern intimacy and existential restlessness.

It’s like a therapy session where the therapist is also your coolest, most honest friend.

A fierce and unfiltered exploration of self-worth that balances jagged aggression with soft, acoustic vulnerability.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring honesty of the opening line in Saint Nobody where she casually addresses mortality over a steady beat.

The rhythmic, percussive delivery of the hook in F**k Being Friends that mimics the heartbeat she sings about.

The transition into Spanish on Sola that highlights her cultural roots through a stripped-back, soulful lens.
