Just over a month ago I was really confused as to where I was personally & creatively. I was floating for a little bit, just making a song here and there in hopes of coming up with a project as soon as I could, in doing that I started to get a little bored. Luckily though, on a hike by myself around the time The Divine Feminine came out, I came up with the idea to capture the vibe of autumn, being in love, and how the two coincide with each other (cuffing season).
Over the past couple weeks I've spent a lot of time isolating myself and my thoughts in nature, my bedroom, basement, etc, trying quickly to hash out my ideas on the season, how I feel about being in a relationship and what goes in to that, and how to make it all come full circle and be cohesive. The goal was to create based on my feelings alone, and during the creative process I shared my ideas with nobody (except for Malik because he guessed what it was about lol). In saying that, just like love this music wasn't made to be perfect. I'm very proud of the work that I put in and the output I got from it, and the fact that I stuck with a creative concept to see it come full circle.
I'm done typing so I'd just like to thank my pals for keeping me inspired, @tomppabeats for the beautiful production, Matt Marinella @motilla-beats for helping out with the cover layout, the friends who are helping/pushing me and believe in the work I do, and of course I'd like to thank the love of my life/future wife because all of this is about her.
