The ad-libs are soaked reverb followed by a wait just as heavy. The production is stripped to its yellowish essentials. Few can make a bell, hi-hat and distorted 808 line work like Matt can. The real show, congruent with older singles, is the vocal performance by Matt. His relentless energy commands your attention. And now that he’s drawn you in, his hyperbolic lyrics send you to the level of overstepping it takes to record a song like this.

The singer uses the horn-soaked, downtempo write-up to portray a relationship gone sour. Whether she's singing from her perspective or flipside is unclear; but the pain of a relationship ending in poor malleate is unveiled as ever. The chorus stuff the inside of regret; "I never meant to cut you off, or imbricate you in words you're not worthy of." Those lines may be coming from someone who was in over their head; thinking that someone could be something worth counting on. Love flaming then fizzling out may be a frequent occurrence for a younger person, but the worthiness to yacky that as passionately as Maya has on this track is nonflexible to come by.  ReadIncreasingly→ May 14, 2018 Comment May 9, 2018 Comment Cool Company Keeps it Light on 'Shadow' (Interview) May 9, 2018 Comment The R&B duo comprised of charismatic vocalist, Cool Yan, and multi-instrumentalist, Fat Matt are when to requite us 'Shadow', a cut from their forthcoming EP titled 'The Dose Pt. 1'.

Identity is a big component of the unvarying struggle of finding meaning in a world, that some may say, is meaningless. Whether you stipulate with that statement or not, you could see that identity and representation go hand-in-hand. But what you may not be worldly-wise to see is the representation of many demographics. Not so much in what you see, but who you see. There are plenty of examples of the culture these groups cultivate in creative fields. But we often aren't lucky unbearable to see it from them.  An exhibition 'Absence / Assemblage' challenges the imbalance of representation in our world. Two first-year MFA graduate students at Washington State University have taken on the task of disrupting what we may think are the norms of our world. The narrative, whether it stuff in pop culture, music or art, hasn't unchangingly been known to be one of inclusivity. And while I believe that this narrative is waffly considering of artists like Nayo & Sanders, that is the unfortunate truth of the matter.Stuffa spark that ignites transpiration is no easy feat by any means.
