about

Co-produced with Earl Saga (JGrrey, easy life, Finn Askew) and Jammaz Jamz (Asian Dub Foundation), mixed by John Hendicott (Jamie Woon) and mastered by Clinton McCreery (Enny, Jorja Smith, Idris Elba), Bitterness is a meditative slice of jazz-tinged neo-soul that just keeps on giving. It’s about the frustration you feel when someone regularly comes to you for advice and then you see they disregard your advice and the pattern just repeats. “It's about the realisation that even if you want to help, it's pointless until someone can take the truth you're giving them, especially when it's from a place of love,”

lyrics

LYRICS:

Listen up, listen in
These words ain’t for my benefit
And if you won’t listen to what you;ve heard
You won’t get another word from me
From me…

All love, not hate
Sit back sip that lemonade
That you,
You’ve been served
Not my fault you don’t like the taste
Of these words

The bitterness delivers this
A sweater bliss, where I exist
Beyond your mind
That I resist

I know you prefer I gave ya
A flavour that you could savour
But don’t look at me, Don’t look at me
I’m not your saviour
