The bedroom pop guitar, the harshness of the beat, the repetition of the riffs, Antwon's voice rough and echoey over it — all sounds like leaning out of a car driving through a town you knew when you were a different person and thought life would be different; it's summer and you're wondering when everything fell apart In the track "Changes", there is an inevitability to the grief in Antwon's forceful delivery and the constancy of the guitar and the beat: "you seemed so sad, I felt the same / I knew you felt a way that I couldn't change", all delivered as facts. No illusory hopes, no wishing it away, no positive spin. Only an acknowledgement of the sadness and its gravity — a recognition poignant in itself because sometimes all we want is just to be heard, to be seen Feels dumb to say (because surely it's the point of music) but I love tracks in which the instrumentation and production add a vital layer to the story being told that couldn't be expressed any other way Also — would die for a full length collab between Antwon and Kerry McCoy
