Of the album, Gold says “sometimes, artists like me who are still on the rise are advised to steer clear of albums. The thing is, through all of these EP’s and experimentations, I’ve been waiting for that specific “album” sound.

Keeping the ethereal spirit alive and well in music is our goal, and we’re proud to represent that with the album.”
