Artwork
Like many other songs, Artwork started off as something I came up with during one of my regular writing sessions.
Something about just throwing ideas out once or twice a week really works for me. I liked the idea so much after I started writing that I wrote the whole song or most of it that weekend.
It also helped that I was not too far removed from the inspiration at the time.
Artwork is a song about a casual relationship with the “artsy” type / Witchy Vibes type.
A type that seems to be, MY type, I'm finding.
I guess it makes sense for creative people to attract one another.
This song also shared a lot of inspiration and mood with my recent song Be Up.
I worked with Dennis who made the beat for it at his place.
He also filmed the performance video in Downtown Fort Worth!
I went out to Music in Focus studio to have it recorded, mixed and mastered.
This song was the first one in a while where I felt the need to track it twice to get my voice sounding just right.
Over time I am developing a bit more of an ear. I found it helpful for this song to think of what “character” I was embodying to put myself in the right headspace.
I have heard several artists describe the various sides of their music or their personality as different characters with different names even. I am starting to brainstorm what mine are for the different kinds of songs I make.
For songs like this one, I also find a picture or two of the inspiration to look at while I am in the booth. Helps bring all those emotions back up. I used to do it when performing heartbreak poems and needed to try and emote a bit more since it doesn't come as naturally to me. I'd look at photos of my ex before going onstage.
The Artwork was done by the artist Sasha Abramovich.
Hope you enjoy the track!
Talk soon,

Lyrics
Hook
My favorite girl she do artwork
Pussy sweet, starburst
She could tell you how the stars work
Hit the right spot
Make her sing just like a concert
And I'm feeling like I need her
Got me wrapped around her finger
And I'm feeling like I need her
Got me wrapped around her finger
Verse 1
Anytime is the right time
Hit my line day or night time
I'm in her room
Nightline
If I forget my lines
Camera pan right
My hands wrapped tight
Around her neck
Lil mama don't play games
On the internet
She in her room with a painting
That ain't finished yet
And a new acrylic set
Looking like a fucking threat
They'd be hard-pressed
If they tried their fucking best
Pre-Chorus
She a bad habit
White lies
I forgive her all the time
Where is my spine
She make plans
I'm straight to it like a guideline
Hook
My favorite girl she do artwork
Pussy sweet, starburst
She could tell you how the stars work
Hit the right spot
Make her sing just like a concert
And I'm feeling like I need her
Got me wrapped around her finger
And I'm feeling like I need her
Got me wrapped around her finger
Verse 2
Sage, candles
Set the mood before I come through
There's moonlight
On her perfume
Illuminates the view
Our bodies go from two
To one
I wanna make it feel
Like love
Girlfriend for the night
She always gets me right
She knows I love to hear it
And I eat up all her lies
She tellin me she love me
While she look me in my eyes
She tellin me she love me
She know that she gets me high
Pre-Chorus
She a bad habit
White lies
I forgive her all the time
Where is my spine
She make plans
I'm straight to it like a guideline
Hook
My favorite girl she do artwork
Pussy sweet, starburst
She could tell you how the stars work
Hit the right spot
Make her sing just like a concert
And I'm feeling like I need her
Got me wrapped around her finger
And I'm feeling like I need her
Got me wrapped around her finger
