@userdeactivatd_ He stated on the show that he's half St Helenian and Half English. St Helena is an island closest to Africa, and I think a lot of the people there are of a bunch of different races including black, chinese, white. Pics of him with his father do show that he's not only white.

"A deeply soothing, hypnotic soundscape inspired by a recovery from long-term illness,[...] the track is a considered, experimental blend of soft vocals and instrumentation that tentatively celebrates the regaining of physical and emotional strength." ty! @getinherears

My 2023 favorites, Songs of Our Lives Style. Music that made me happy, made my cry, tapped into my romantic side, changed my perspective, & more. And, for the first time ever, an actual AOTY pick from FD. All this + so, so much more. Thanks for being here.
