Notes from the Artist:

‘Fortunes’ felt like a subconscious attempt to recreate happy memories and have something to look forward to during the pandemic when meeting friends and family wasn't really possible. I could instantly tell that this track would end up being emotionally driven, subtle and relatable so I followed my instincts in order to create and maintain that feeling throughout the track.

I’ve been an admirer of Saumya’s visual work for a couple of years now and I could envision incorporating her style into the artwork for this EP along with the music video. I feel her work is centred around abstract interpretations of objects which are tethered by clever nuances to reality. We had a few sessions of going back and forth with ideas but ultimately the artwork and animated music video is her interpretation of the EP and ‘fortunes’.

This EP consists of tracks that are in-between genres… Some are more suitable for the dance floor while others may be for personal listening. I hope this will make sense after you’ve listened to the whole EP.

Prior to this, I really hadn't gravitated towards producing dance-able tracks but this time around it came a bit more naturally… The weather definitely played a part, along with the growth and renewal of relationships with my family and friends during the lockdown. Few tracks were already in the making the year before but were completed recently, so I’ve made them a part of this EP.

In terms of the production, I used to shy away from building tracks with long loops. I often altered the course of a track into a completely different story almost instantaneously. But with this EP I've tried to balance that out by taking my time and maintaining the feel of a track for longer. You could say it’s more emotive than methodical. That being said the process was quite challenging in itself but ultimately full-filling.

Also by normal standards I'm a terrible dancer so I decided to call the EP ‘Couldn’t Dance to save my life’.
