Thank you for sharing your thoughts and so glad you like my music! I co-created the EP with Steffen Sidi, an indie musician and producer, he played most guitar, bass, and some drums in my EP. He came from a more indie rock background so we ended up having some nice mix-matched style from both of our natural preference. Cigarettes After Sex does come up in Ivy Lumi Radio! I write songs like diary haha sometimes lyrics come first, sometimes melody does. I've been learning to produce my own ideas in the past year , and now I usually work on a song and come up with whatever I feel like should be there, then I work with a co-producer (who's usually also a musician) to optimize from there and fill in the gap. Still finding new process for each song at the moment as I'm so new! Thank you for sharing - I can see the link indeed, always wanted to collab with rock band - I wonder how my voice would fit in a band setting!
