Her voice sores excessive like a liberated balloon. Some moments remind me a little bit of Moses Sumney. It is all actually delicate and wonderful.
Seems, the singles belong to a bigger mission referred to as the 17:17 mission that can embrace seven singles by way of her label be.aworld. “Virtually A Lover” is the fifth single. She additionally shared some extra perception on the brand new music:
This music is about and for Fako, an intimate childhood good friend who determined to finish (t)his life(time), December two years in the past.
The music explores methods of supporting a call like suicide since it is the final genuine selection somebody makes for themselves ~ and processing it with understanding and beauty regardless of the deep grief and shock it brings to our inside worlds.
Questions round loss of life, acceptance; dropping, selecting, spiritually validating and touring with different folks’s selections even after they harm.
I hope this music brings you solice, heat, perspective, a softening maybe. I cried many heat tears whereas writing it and was grateful for the catharsis.
