Someone wrote me asking if I could write a song about a woman who’s strong and crushing it but also wants to fall in love - which sparked all these memories from different conversations I’ve had in my life. All of them with ambitious women who had this tension between their ambition and their desire to be loved. There was this sort of shame around it, as if their desire to be with someone romantically conflicted with them seeing themselves as strong or self-sufficient.
In the song, I combined all their stories into one - about a girl who paid her way through college and afterward ‘made it’ - culminating in an honest conversation between her and her mom, a mom who essentially tells her that love is a waste of time. That dynamic between her and her mom also comes from those few women I’ve talked to about this, each of whom had a unique friendship with their moms - a dance of expectation and encouragement and support and sometimes pressure.
Also, I wouldn’t have written it had I not felt the same thing as the character I’m singing about. There’s been a tug-of-war in my heart between my drive to succeed and - wow, even writing this is sort of embarrassing, goodness, see, I definitely wrote this song, haha - and my romantic life. Sometimes pursuing a dream and falling in love can feel mutually exclusive, and I don’t think they have to be.
It’s a very specific song, about a very specific feeling, so I know this won’t connect with everyone, but for a handful of people who listen to my stuff I hope it tells part of your story. Any time I hear multiple people tell a similar story or share a similar feeling - that sounds like we’re quietly rhyming together, an instance of us all singing the same song when we think we’re singing alone.
“…quietly rhyming together..” 🖤
It works in weird ways, when you least expect it. Focus on you and the light you shine will attract someone worth their weight in gold. Cuz you are, you wholesome ass human 🤘🏻 slay on hero of the ink and rhythm!
This is my literal theme song. I’ve been in tears all morning. Thank you
You're amazing man, i was in a low low place in December,and I found New Drugs Freestyle. Audio Inspiration. You've easily climbed to one of my favorite artists/producers, as well as inspire me to better myself and my life, and above all, reignite the spark for producing music FOR MYSELF for the first time in yers.. TY
I have only recently discovered your music Kai but I love everything I’ve heard so far! I think my favorite is Just A Low❤️
Literally the most underrated artist
Frfrrrr
Got my SWIMMING POOL tank, thanks!
I love the fact that you've touched on the fact that a lot of parents project their negative experiences onto their children - this is unfortunately an issue that happens a lot and acknowledging it helps those that have gone through this to break the cycle - thank you, Kai 💕
I swear this guy don't miss
Legit listened to every vocal he's ever put out
Ya days coming king
Keep throwing out anthems and one day everyone else will hear what we do 😎😎
Already listening for the third time in a row!❤sending to my daughter ❤
Beautiful Kai! I love feeling your heart
Thank you! ❤️
❤️💀❤️ I love how deep your soul is!
❤️💀❤️ 💀❤️
I am glad that you were able to take something that can be seemed as shameful, but turned it into a happy, uplifting rhythm.
Always trying to go into the dark and turn on a light.
You, sir, are one of the people we need more of on this world.
Can definitely relate to the feelings of this one! Not so much as a lover but more succeeding in one area of life only to forgo another. 16 yrs of marriage to a soldier, I have my lover, but I’m still lonely a lot of times. I gave up a career, and as strongly independent I am, I’ve struggled, just as these ladies have in love. Don’t get me wrong I’m happily married! It not weakness to yearn for something like love or a passion, just patience.
Still a great one Kai!! ❤
still around and listening, idk if you be remembering comments like that or whatever but, i found ya during a rough patch like 2-3 years ago, i'm in my own house in my living room on my brand new computer streaming through my wi-fi bro and it feels so good. like, i thought i was gonna for real be a homeless drunk guy for a sec..... i turn 30 in october and i feel like because i found ya right when your stuff was hitting me like that i'll be listening to your music until i die or you stop making it lol keep it up kai, ya crazy diamond you /,,/
