V1
Maybe I can’t write no more
Maybe I’ll spend the rest of my days doing savasana on the floor
Maybe I will have to draw
For old poems
I don’t know if
I still got it
Anymore
Pre
‘cause I feel pressure
that I put on myself
self-imposed pressure
and I need to be held
and shaken to
wake me up
awaken
see just how amazing
it is to be alive here,
to survive here
it is to be alive here,
to survive here
Chorus
Who says I need to do anything,
I could just breathe, take it all in (x2)
V2
My capitalist mindset,
Has got me feeling I’m not winning
If I prioritise rest.
My confidante Ahmed
Told me to try renewing my mind,
Reset
Pre
‘cause I feel pressure
that I put on myself
self-imposed pressure
don’t come from no one else
I need help
To forgive myself
Awaken
See just how amazing
It is to be alive here,
To survive here
Chorus x4

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
The brilliant Madison McFerrin unveils her first full-length, a lush pop-soul triumph full of gorgeously textured songs. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2023
A special, special talent.
The music and melody Cleo Sol is so healing to me.
Her music is inviting, and her spirit is receiving.
