Today, I’m releasing a song that came straight from the ache of comparison. Compliment Her, Crush Me is the kind that eats at your confidence, your body, your love, your worth. We don’t always talk about it, but comparison is its own kind of violence.The little cuts add up: when someone hypes...

There are songs you write because you want to — and then there are songs you write because you have to. "Still Not Breathing" is one of the latter.I wrote it in pieces, in whispers, in silence — over weeks when I could barely form words out loud. This song came from the slow, aching...
