      I do all the time... 99% of people listen to music on 💩 devices in 💩 environments. So why wouldn't producers spend more time referencing on the same mediums most people use?

      he said, "laptop speakers lying around on the table..." so it sounds like he uses a bluetooth speaker with his laptop, not the built-in laptop speakers

      No way he is using a Bluetooth speaker, unless it’s pretty sophisticated, due to latency

    He kept coming into my radar and I finally sat down and listened to his stuff. And now listening to him speak, it all makes sense. He's so intentional and emotional about this music. I can't stop listening to "Loved".. so beautiful. Thanks for this video.
