šØāSOULFULā¦ishā my debut album
šļø 20/03/2026 aka āLey Dayā
Anyone who knows me knows how meticulously detailed I am (apologies / thanks to my engineers @cairosharn , @freeway_pablo & @kaydontplaymusic š) so I urge you to take this one in with full focus to really grasp the depth and underlying meanings even amidst the vibes and surface-level messages because I didnāt spend 4 years creating, tweaking and battling all sorts of delays, blood, sweat and tears just for this to be absorbed carelessly. Much respectšš½
And I hope you enjoy listening half as much as I enjoyed making it⦠Cause I had a blast.
Only real musics gonna last, all that other bullshit is here Today, gone Tomooooooorrow!

Posting this is fucking petrifying but essential for many reasons including, my own healing. I understand there will be a lot of curiosity and/or concerns but Iād appreciate my privacy to be respected please.
My life is not gossip and Iāve said enough.
Everybody has a breaking point
Iāve reached mine over and over
Iām about to make a lot of people very uncomfortable. Imagine how I feelā¦
This isnt fuelled by pettiness or malice
But by being fed up of my dignity being disregarded
By people acting as though two things cant be true at once
By the people who saw me vulnerable and used it against me
This isnt presumptive its based on conversations where Iāve reluctantly shared trauma and had it casually brushed aside so delicately even I didnt realise
First time i tried writing this, there was too much hate in it
But healing requires a lot of forgiveness, its paradoxical I was hating it
Thereās so much to unpack but not everything is for the internet
Especially concerning matters more intimate
I learned that sometimes intentions dont align with impact
Iāve been asked to explain events under the guise of an open and safe space- but it wasnt for clarification, rather to see if I would lie (fucked up in itself)
But if you werenāt there how would you know whats a ālieā?
So no āgotchaā moment but what I took from that was to be woefully embarrassed and pitifully ashamed of something I felt was blown outta proportion
I kept silent, anticipating a time and place for my own truth but the longer things go on, that doesnt seem true at all
All while encouraged to not convey myself as āemotionalā
I began humiliating myself on stories out of frustration until realising that isnt the way.
It shouldnt be me defending myself but no-one else will
If you dont tell your story then someone else will
Now Im petrified at the thought of what happens after I post this
The messages, looks and comments
Do I want to return back to the places iāve been vulnerable?
Would I brave face or save face?
I know this shit has been cathartic but what dyou do when you no longer feel safe in your safe space?
Listening from the sidelines to morally selective people pretending to care about mental health
Was eating grapes in the sun when I spontaneously decided to take a break from current scheduling to share some poetry
Side-note: Authenticity will carry you a lot further than fake love, authenticity will also piss off and intimidate a lot of people including ones you try to connect with⦠Let them doubt you. Let them believe whatever they want. Be hated for who you are, not loved for who youāre notā¼ļø
Anyway, thanks to @bespoken.poetry for the platform & go listen to the album, link in bio
Love for the loveš„
2 WEEKS LATER⦠THANK YOU.
This project was extremely close to being aborted (which in itself is very ironic, considering the outro) but my outlook on life has taken very sharp turns in recent months and I figured this thing is above me and even I feel it is outdated to me, to someone else it may be exactly what they wanted or needed to hear⦠Turns out I was part of the āsomeone elseā and this is exactly why I love creating but also why my life is so funny because so many lines connected with my current life and tbh it has been a rollercoaster of emotions to hear what has resonated with you all. There are so many components to this album just like how there are so many components to my complex self. I just wanted to say, thank you. Not just for listening, for hearing me and most importantly for seeing me.
Love for the love always,
Lš

BEHIND THE TRACKS: PART 1
Letās take a deeper dive into the track-listš
Not only are there 2 sides to the album but I also felt like structuring the project would be so important and thus I wanted to convey multiple messages concurrently, creating a structure of 5x3s.
