![]() ![]() ![]() and finally, this track keeps very true to our name and doesn't quite fit in the genre-lane that many of our previous releases have. ![]() we're super excited to be getting something out with him again after the remix! another cool thing about this song is that it features Troy on the guitar, which he has been trying to teach himself since the covid lockdowns started (i'm still very bad lol - Troy). since then, we've been in contact frequently to talk music, critique demos, and try some original song ideas out. he sent these vocals to us back in July and we had a feeling pretty quickly that this was going to be our first original release together. first off, we've been friends via music with Sweez since he reached out to remix his track "Brokenhearted" with MRG back in February 2019. Pretty much back to back with releases here! after dropping the remix for Vanic on Monday (which was incredibly cool for us), we have another track that means a lot to us. though it was a very long journey, the song finally got to reach its full potential thanks to Akacia's amazing writing/performance and we couldn't be happier to finally release this baby of ours :) we went through a couple rounds of revisions/recording and just kept getting more and more excited about what the song was turning into. we sent this one over - at the time simply titled "uppity" - and Akacia jumped on it right away. So in early February of 2021 we sent a different beat to Akacia to work together on, and much to our surprise she responded and seemed down to collaborate with us! we agreed that the particular beat we sent probably wouldn't be a good fit, but she was open to hearing some other demos. we still loved the beat, but let it slide to the back of our minds as we focused on our newer tracks in 2020 and beyond. we had a couple different situations that seemed like they would work out over the years, but nothing ever came of it. we made about 60% of this instrumental and really really liked what we had, so we slowly started shopping it around to singers/producers to collaborate on. So we'll need to go all the way back to 2017, right after Troy graduated college, to start this song's story. ![]()
