During COVID, it kind of felt like the world had moved on. What is the most important thing you’ve learned during your hiatus? It’s been almost four years since you released an album. How do you feel about the current landscape of music? Where do you feel like people are discovering your songs? “Best Part” and “Get You” were big streaming hits through playlisting, and ‘Peaches’ went viral on TikTok in 2021. I don’t think it eliminates scars, but it heals wounds. Are you a believer in the idea that time heals all wounds? I think my personal favorite is “Always,” which tells the story about how a relationship has evolved with both parties separating, but the love is always there. On “Let Me Go,” the lyric “Ain’t no sleep tonight / My dreams exhaust me” is interesting. Obviously, we’re cut from the same cloth, so I’ve experienced feelings like that, and I just applied my own life to it. He showed me the song, and I was, like, “This is absolutely incredible! I didn’t know that you were so good I didn’t know that you could do this.” I wrote the verse, and I took the song and dwelled on it. So that’s his story about this girl that he had a crush on. The chorus part, “Valentina baby,” he wrote and produced that whole beat himself, and he wrote that part himself. That one is honestly my younger brother, Zachary. The song “Valentina” paints a very vivid picture and tells a relatable story. It just felt like a synchronicity moment. And I was just like, “Oh, that’s so interesting.” Like, I was so far away from home and met a family from Toronto on this boat. I was in the south of France at the time, and I started talking with the people on the boat and found that they were from Toronto. Then this other boat just floated by, and it was called Never Enough. I was on a boat ranting about something never being enough. And then one day, like a year or two ago. And you know, he’s only in there because he respects you already, so you can just cook and he’s there.Īt what point in the process did the title “Never Enough” come to you? He’s also full of stories, so if you’re nervous, you can just listen. It was, until you’re in there for 15 minutes, and then you’re, like, “Oh, this guy’s as cool as fuck.” He makes you feel comfortable. I still needed guidance I still needed people around that I trusted to bounce ideas off of.ĭid you find it daunting working with Raphael Saadiq on “Do You Like Me?” I’d been itching to do it, and it was just the right time. Was it a challenge stepping into a producer role, or do you feel it came naturally? Then, I had to think really deeply about the lyrics. I would do that first, because that came easiest, and I didn’t have to think so much. So the order in which I would make the songs was different because I was also in charge of recording the actual instruments. And then the lyrics might come after the melody. Whereas now, I would go into the studio, and just pick up the guitar and make a chord progression or something. , I would write the songs on my guitar by myself in my room, and then bring a voice note to the studio. How did your creative process differ from previous releases like “Freudian” and “Case Study 01?” I also started cooking and painting, but mostly making music. I set up a little studio in my guest house and I spent days at a time in solitude just getting a house feeling. You began recording “Never Enough“ during the height of COVID. The four-year break between albums well worth the wait.
