where TF have i been?
as of late,
i don’t want to listen to no “low vibrational” music.

i listened to sza the other day and i hated everyone.
so one of my fav foxholers told me who he was listening to.

abel has always been super dark.
ima rock with dua and more pop for a little.

like motown and even the 90s,
had that vibe of hopeful even if it was sad.
this marvin gaye record i had on repeat as well:
