Track 14 - Could you close the door, please?
Produced by: Jacob Bugden
Length: 04:08
A tribute to domestic bliss concludes the album I hold so dearly. Lyrically the song's about those late night moments you have with friends and the end of the night is imminent. You become acutely aware of every gesture, every exchange, every detail that everyone does. Eventually they all leave and you're left with yourself.

Track 13 - I hope to be understood
Produced by: Robyn Fenty & Amala Dlamini
Length: 03:00
The thirteenth track serves serves as a culmination of the journey explored throughout this album. It captures the constant search for understanding—yearning for someone to truly see and accept you, even when you lack all the answers.
Track 12 - When the candle burnt out
Produced by: Robyn Fenty, Tyler Okonoma, & Ludwig Göransson
Length: 09:17
What a symphony. The song starts slow, we open with a gentle, sustained organ note. Like "Devil", I had to introduce a more somber, moody, and almost religious tone for this song. The first minute of this over nine minute rock opera is rather warm and inviting, before the electric guitar comes in.
Track 11 - Marigold
Produced by: Robyn Fenty
Length: 04:55
This album sonically is really about trying out a bunch of new sounds while remaining true to myself. Like "October", this song was inspired by a poem my manager wrote. My personal favorite from the album, this song is whimsically playful, complete with layered falsettos and 60's inspired brazillian bossa nova.
Track 10 - October won't make me hate you
Produced by: Dragos Chiriac
Length: 03:35
A song you know and a song you love. This song is such turning point for me. The track pulsates with rhythm and emotion, blending jangly guitars with dreamy synths that create a sense of floating. Lyrically, it addresses the complexity of mourning while celebrating resilience.
Track 09 - Leap of faith
Produced by: Sean Bowie
Length: 03:46
"ASCENSION" was the result of the most tumultuous and traumatic period of my life. I cannot separate that time from the body of work it produced. By far the darkest track on the album, I've always struggled with confrontation and that's something I'm working on. Fusing grunge and psychedelic rock, this song is filled with distorted guitar riffs and a pulsating bassline.
Track 08 - Prettiest face I've ever seen
Produced by: Robyn Fenty & Jacob Bugden
Length: 03:23
The eighth track brings a lightheartedness to the album that is sweet and sweeping. The only song on the album that still holds any semblance of the country direction this album was originally routed for, The zig-zagging strings begin with a twang before expanding into an electronic symphony.
Track 07 - Ain't no back and forth
Produced by: Robyn Fenty & Jacob Bugden
Length: 04:27
It was after "On the Other Side" that I made sure to stop making my art about my love life for a while. I wince and cringe anytime I see "Hassan's interlude." Anyway, while that love was good for that chapter of time, this song is about how love can sometimes fade to silence.
Track 06 - Virtuoso
Produced by: Robyn Fenty & Tyler Okonoma
Length: 04:04
For years I thought Digital Disturbance would be my crowning achievement and for years I tried putting "Virtuoso", a demo from it, on an album of mine. It wasn't until sessions for this album that I felt comfortable stripping the electronic parts from the song and infusing it with some psychedelic rock. That's when the song finally found its home.
Track 05 - She told me her name was grief
Produced by: Robyn Fenty & Jacob Bugden
Length: 4:51
I've found myself on a journey of healing and that's where this song puts us right in the center of. When I sat down and went through the "Showtime" era, I surprised myself. I could only think of aspects of that album in relation to a loss I experienced during that rollout. It puzzled me for a while.
Track 04 - Through it all, nothing changed
Produced by: Sean Bowie
Length: 05:14
This track, like "Wasteland", had to serve as a pivotal moment. Featuring the most soaring and electronic funk guitar riff, Sampha's soulful voice provides the perfect contrast to mine.

Track 03 - Run circles
Produced by: Robyn Fenty
Length: 03:07
It’s no secret that my third album was my most tumultuous. I wanted to spin that and make a subtly braggadocios song. Its infectious beat, jangly guitar riffs, and gorgeous strings capture the whirlwind of being caught in a cycle.
Track 02 - Heard how I felt
Produced by Sean Bowie & Kevin Parker
Length: 03:22
Here I dive further into themes of confrontation. The second song had to be Anthemic, so this for the people in your life that are present but not actively engaged. The production features groovy basslines intertwined with booming drums that shout throughout the song.
Track 01 - En garde!
Produced by: Sean Bowie
Length: 03:54
Starting off with confrontation, this track is chaotic, upbeat, and in your face. “Unknown Pleasures” marked my first step into the music industry and I wanted to evoke opening doors for the first time. I was recording lines for my character in Dead Cells when this one line spoke to me, “En garde!” I got the bizarrest vision: answering the door and instantly being met with a fencing match.
