Im so glad

I want every song on the album TO BE A HIT OR AT LEAST WORTHY TO BE ONE

And again, just to put my balls on the table one more time, everything is written, conceptualized, produced, mixed/mastered and sang by me myself and I on this song and all the others for this project - and no samples or premade loops 🤠😭😭

🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️ ina new light

it's addicting man, saved it to my car playlist

WE WON

Pretty visuals

WALKIN WALKIN WALKIN IN A NEW LIGHT

Patiently waiting

WALKIN!! 🌅🚶🚶

Hell yeah! I made sure to make the bass during the verses rattle hard and to have this "rolling" element to all of it

S***s like an earthquake and a tumbling ocean wave

WE ARE ALMOST AT THE FINISH LINE TOO

Ty 🙌

I made the coverart and video visualizer, while me n a friend of mine recorded all the footage together

tapping in rn

FOR ALL MY NIGGAS FORCED TO BE THE VILLAIN DUE TO THE CARDS THEY WERE DEALT BUT STILL STRIVE TO WALK IN A NEW LIGHT

Literally me the last few weeks, had to stop myself from just leaking my own s*** due to all the self anticipation and excitement

@Water_Giver im gonna have to drop acid to this one later tonight

One of my homies said he loves how chill but simultaneously hard and the song came out and gives it this psychedelic hypnotic vibe to it that is both aggressive asl but also like "serene"

I absolutely agree with him lmao. Makes the feel like the last hour/hour and a half of the trip where you start coming back to reality, kinda like waking up early in the morning

2 things I wanted the song to feel when I was conceptualizing it

• 1. I wanted it to feel like a climax of coming to a crossroads for a person that has to decide what path they really want to lead down.

• And 2. I wanted it to feel like a soundtrack to a "villain" that also has a heart and there's a reason why they might be (or used to be) who they were, kinda like an antihero but no quite. A sympathetic "reasonable" villain that also has a understandable/valid reason why they're doing what they're doing - like a criminal just trying to feed their family.

There's experiences of myself irl and also those Ive known that inspired it as well, but I didn't want it to be too linear or a direct story, I wanted it to still be open to the listener and applicable/relatable to themselves and applicable to other similar events that may be happening in their lives even if it isn't as drastic or exact

I like creating songs that give a piece of me as a person, but also isn't so on the nose or so autobiographical that it still could feel like it can fit the listener or feel like I'm also talking about the listener, and I think A New Light along with Feel What's Real hit the mark for my satisfaction of that ethos/concept

Anyways, outside my yapping, more importantly I'm GLAD YOU N OTHERS JUST ENJOY IT

A New Light and the last single, Feel What's Real, are my two fav songs off the album

Along with the intro song, Call You Tomorrow, the 2nd Instrumental Interlude, The Nights 2AM, & another song called You Used Too

HMs to the 3rd track, Wash My Hands, and the 4th n final single in September, Come On Over

But the other half of the album is still great too don't worry 👀🤓☝️

Idk if u noticed but I learned how to fully do and properly understand side chaining few months ago and it improved the bass parts during the verses so much more on A New Light on the release version compared to the early album copy I sent u months ago @Aquilla

Learned how to side chain while still KEEPING THE PUNCH (that usually a lot of people f*** up on while side chaining) of the bass itself while providing full clarity to the kick and bassline - I used to dislike sidechaining due to how many people half ass it

• Lot of people just do a basic side chain and a one size fit all default template, but shout one of my bigger "mentor" homies that is in the game that broke down how to use things like bass riders, clippers and comp a***yzers together in tandem while maintaining n monitoring the limiter wall for professional "sidechaining"

I still wont sidechain unless I feel like I gotta but it's a new full tool in my arsenal that also imo improved this track so much and the only track on the album that needed it by giving so much more clarity to the "rolling" pattern n effect I created for the bass on this track 😎🤓

S*** had me damn near skipping on my walk bruh you haven’t missed so far I love the direction you’re going on this one

Good s*** my boy

Oh bet

The power of the sidechain
