Foreplay

Four tracks of shimmering, pre-trap R&B. A blueprint for modern heartbreak defined by breathy falsetto, clean synths, and late-night vulnerability.

It's the sound of a 2012 heartbreak before trap drums took over everything.

A polished, neon-lit loneliness that feels both expensive and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Waiting For
the crystalline synth lead that opens Teenage Waste setting a lonely tone
vocal harmonies on Addiction that stack until the mix feels completely submerged
the sudden clarity of the beat drop in Brokenhearted where the bass finally anchors the melody
