This mixtape is called Held

Since the passing of my father in law my initial theme for this mixtape was ‘grief’ and at the end of the day perhaps that’s what it still is.

Something funny happened when putting this one together. I had strung together a section that I was so pleased with and yet when listening back I immediately knew it wasn't right for the project. I was so happy with how everything sounded but I knew that it just didn't fit. I shelved that portion and moved on.

To memory it was the first time in this mixtape project that I scrapped a section due to not aligning with the theme. The move surprised me as my use of theme has often been purposely allusive.

At the end of the day I’m not sure the final theme is grief, nor do I think there really is a singular theme. I think I was just trying to make something to wrap myself up in. To feel held.
