📠 here’s a letter: hello world, one of my favorite songs is out today, everywhere. i feel grown now. i’ve been on a search for self because connecting with others in this digital space is cumbersome. everyday, i fight the urge to wallow and let time pass me by. “slip away” is meant to capture us, as we are... “searching for ways to live/work without the need for spectacle” “balancing behaving within the mold that’s been forced onto me, and just destroying it altogether!” “acknowledging a past that has kept me so closed, anxious abt failure, and spiritually imbalanced.” during the making of this song @ Earseed, Nick Hakim held me dear, showed me what he knows of this world. ¡Thank you NICk! After co-producing “slip away” in 4 hours with him, and then mixing this sound 46 times by myself over 2 years, I’m happy to deliver an honest song + allow it to flow through your ears. sincerely, Cleo Reed ARTWORK: Photo by @totheppl 🎂*everyone say happy birthday, amandla!* Design by @totheppl and @cleoforshort 🫶🏾🥲 slip away by cleo reed lyrics by @cleoforshort written + produced by @en_hakim + @cleoforshort mixed by @cleoforshort mastered by @amy__dragon @ Telegraph Audio
