    Exclusive promo 7” vinyl single of “Love in Lo-Fi” and “High,” both featured on my debut album Damn, Feelings, pressed in collaboration with Wax Mage Records.

    I’ve supported myself as a machinist throughout my musical career and worked at Gotta Groove Records for three years. It means the world to me that I got to return and collaborate on the making of these singles. My favorite color is pink, so the never-before-seen pink Wax Mage label that adorns each is symbolic of my journey and unique to my releases on Wax Mage Records.

lyrics

I miss the backseat of your car
The smell of smoke from your cigar
The city lights shined like the stars
Back when I was in your arms

Then I sense it creep in
That sinking feeling
That I may be lonely all my life
But I should know better
And now that I’ve met her
I need to let you go tonight

Turn the music on
Let all my mascara run
Dancing while I cry
Let the rhythm dry my eyes
It’s not been fun
Now that I know you’ve got someone
But they’re playing our song

The night goes on the drinks get stronger
One for me one in your honor
These sequins are my superpower
Still shining through my darkest hour

Then I sense it creep in
That sinking feeling
That I may never be quite alright
But I should know better
And now that you’re together
I need to let this go tonight

Turn the music on
Let all my mascara run
Dancing while I cry
Let the rhythm dry my eyes
It’s not been fun
Now that I know you’ve got someone
But they’re playing our song

If I keep groovin’
All my pain may disappear, oh
It’s final call and once the lights come on
I’ll shed you instead of all these tears

I keep on dancing
I keep on dancing
I keep on dancing (dancing, dancing)

Baby it’s fine
Gotta feel that pain
Just let the beat carry you away
It’ll take time and a lot of strength
But you will be okay
It’s fine
Gotta feel that pain
Just let the beat carry you away
It’ll take time and a lot of strength
But you will be okay
