Story
Monochrome means a lot to me emotionally. I wrote most songs when I was going through really tough times mentally. Some songs on the album were written before my debut album “My Life, Not Yours” was finished. I always adore the magic of writing songs in my bedroom. Every time I write something new I get excited about the fact that everybody will be able to hear it. Writing the song “Alone Now” (track 3) specifically made me so grateful for the people on TikTok, YouTube shorts, and Instagram who comment to say that they love my music. Whether it’s about my hobbies or how people treat me in the real world, I find it fun to ramble and rant in the lyrics of my songs because someone can relate to them. I also find it entertaining because it helps me get things out of my chest that I hold inside, especially with the sad music.
All my songs are interlinked in some way. Each song is either in the same wavelength or mentions another song, whether it’s direct or discrete, creating some sort of spectrum of thoughts and feelings. Calling it “Monochrome” is the best thing I have done since most of the songs are about being drained feeling almost black and white. This album means a lot to me more than anyone could ever realise. It’s emotional. Personally, I think each song on the album is perfect in its own way. The whole vibe and theme of monochrome makes it easily one of my favourite projects, without a doubt.
