YOU MADE MY DAWN
YOU MADE MY DAWN (2019) is the mini album built around Home, a song about being the place someone can come back to and cry. Around it sit a quiet comfort ballad, a winter hip-hop track about calling friends out into the cold, and a breathless performance-unit song. The vocabulary is warm and practical: leaning on someone, hiding how hard a day was, grabbing a jacket, getting out of breath.
