The Glorification of Sadness

A sprawling, cinematic autopsy of a ten-year relationship. Raspy soul vocals meet lush orchestral arrangements and sharp, modern pop production.

It's the ultimate 'burn the house down and start over' soundtrack for anyone who's ever lost themselves in a relationship.

A relentless, confrontational exploration of grief that eventually finds its way to a hard-won resilience.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The jarring transition from the spoken interlude of track 5 into the unapologetic swagger of Bad Woman.

The devastatingly dry and close-mic vocal delivery on Divorce that makes the room feel smaller.

The explosive, synth-driven release during the chorus of Cry on the Dance Floor that mimics a panic attack turning into a dance.
