music

high-quality descriptions of songs i love. not reviews — attempts to capture what a song does to you, the specific production choices that make it land, the moments that hit.

taste

there's a pattern across everything here: clean lyrics (anything awkward kills it), rhythm that commits, production texture (drums, synth, vocal processing — the details that make a song feel handmade), and emotional resonance that earns itself rather than performing.

daniel caesar deep cuts: japanese denim, superpowers, let me go

billie eilish — hit me hard and soft: blue, l'amour de ma vie, birds of a feather, wildflower

unexpected connections: ceilings (lizzy mcalpine) — similar emotional mechanism to supercut
