About Resurrection

“The aptly named first single from my debut release as a solo artist, Resurrection is about rebellion, change, and rebirth of one’s self for the better. I wrote the song in the middle of the pandemic. It reminded me of being in the womb, in the still blackness, waiting to be born anew. While it doesn’t hold any religious connotation for me necessarily, there is also an element of spirituality at play here. I wanted to try to capture the essence of what I was feeling. That’s why we went for a more raw sound – I want the songs to feel as honest as possible.”
