Armour
New song out now. Available everywhere.
Armour is about wielding your sword of authenticity to fight through a world of conformity.
Over the last few years, I've harnessed fashion — and not-so-fashion — as armour to uncover and understand my identity in its fullest form.
Armour tells a story of acceptance, struggle, inspiration, and hope
“Bring me my pearls...
the night is young so let me don,
all the things they said were wrong.
In another world...
hope belongs to everyone,
so go and put your armour on.”
How many faces must I wear? Must I save them all? Is it the same face, over and over, washed and restyled until it’s lost all luster?
I’ll recycle myself a million times if it means finding my inner canvas. We often try to hide parts of ourselves, only to find that we were on the opposite side of the door after we’ve turned the key. But the circularity of forgiveness is like fashion - self-hatred is so last season.
