This song was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by me, Jacob:)
This was supposed to be a straight up hip hop track. I remember making the piano and then throwing the beatbox to give it that type of bronx 90s rap feel. But then i sped it up and enjoyed the song at a faster tempo because i naturally gravitate to more of a DnB feel in general. I started to experiment with different waves of color and textures that were a little more pretty and uplifting then rap usually is. At that point i had completely scrapped the idea for a rapper or the vibe i was originally hoping for and dedicated to the idea of a really pretty and colorful DnB track. Makes for good sunny highway left lane vibes:) Somehow, to me, this is one of the few songs at this tempo with these drums and this pace that is somehow relaxing.
Much Love and SHHHHHOUT to Rob for being an interested honest and engaging ear throughout this process, you’re a great friend.
