At Lily's Cottage

So good to be back on Vibes! Bummed that I missed week 19 due to travelling but really glad and grateful I got the opportunity to sit down and record my submission for Week 20 and be part of it all again.

This week I performed my single Echoes that I collaborated on with Choujaa & DON7M. It’s a really meaningful song to me because it was written in a time of heightened stress and anxiety where I felt like my thoughts were echoes. It felt like every negative and dark thought I was having was just echoing and repeating itself consistently for days and it was really difficult to get out of this space and back into a positive space, which is the type of person I am. I always do my best to remain positive, see the best in things, the best in situations but at the time of writing this single it was a really difficult period.

Thanks to @lizelle I was able to record my submission from her beautiful and tranquil home in Durban West Natal where I received my inspiration for recording during a very busy schedule

I’m grateful however that it produced a really pretty song and something that is super relatable to pretty much everyone. I have no doubt we all have a bit of imposter syndrome, doubting ourselves and not believing we’re good enough, but we’re lucky as a community to express ourselves through music and help others deal with their pain with healing sounds and relatable lyrics.
