Good To Know

“good to knowis raw, trunk rattling, sensual, musical and narrative. There’s reckless badassery juxtaposed by introspective R&B, sticky hooks, and lush harmonics. I was having an existential crisis when I began writing a couple years ago and it forced me to take a cold hard look around and within. I wanted to escape my insecurity and deep rooted fears but was no longer able to pretend to be anything other than my perfectly flawed supremely imperfect self.The project can be broken into three chapters. The first being: here’s what I do to numb myself. Get me out of my skin and let me be distracted with love, sex, substances. I start off not being proud of my behavior. The middle part finds me realizing that I need to be on my own for the first time in my life to end patterns that aren’t serving me anymore. Toward the end, I knock on the door of self-love. Accepting where I’ve been and meeting myself where I’m at.The arc is one of escapism, seeking external validation, insatiability, loneliness, shame, introspection, then eventual empowerment, acceptance, and learning to be in the present moment.”
