Nostalgia is such an attractive contradiction. It’s this ball of confusion that meshes happiness with a tinge of sadness. Melancholic elation, I call it lol. It’s even poisonous if you let it get too far. Why? Because we always want our past back — but can’t wait to reach and see our futures. Isn’t that such an odd way to live day to day?
It’s crazy, my earliest childhood memories consisted of watching animated shows like #TheFairlyOddParents , #ChalkZone , #KimPossible , and a ton of others ( #SamuraiJack and #ThePowerPuffGirls included ). These projects were IMMEDIATELY followed up by run-throughs of #SegaGenesis games like #Animaniacs , #Sparkster , and #ZombiesAteMyNeighbors lol. I yearn to go back to experience those moments for the first time again. Thing is, I never will.
“People Say” was heavily about my insecurities — but “Paradox” is everything BUT that. It’s my previous record’s opposite, and I can’t wait for you to experience its strength and sappy glee. I worked with my close, beautiful friend BlueSketchyDoodles to create an image I think encapsulates the feelings of our youth. Lost in the amazement of the world around us, it could swallow us whole. Guess the problem is, we’d love it — even if it’s bad for us.
Paradox.
March 30th.
