Very occasionally, people say nice things about my stuff…

“The production on Numb is lush and atmospheric, creating a space that feels both intimate and expansive. The sound is rich with layers—every detail, from the guitar to the backing vocals, is carefully crafted, giving the track a cinematic quality that draws you in deeper with every listen. It’s the kind of song you can get lost in, with its moody vibe and introspective energy perfectly balanced by the catchiness of its pop-inflected chorus.”
