I’m sitting in the sun as I type this. It’s November 7th, 2025. God, I love the sun. Living in LA, you’d think I’d get more of it, but I’ll admit that I schedule in “sun time” on certain days.
I’m not going to lie, after several peaceful months, the past few weeks have been uniquely tough ones. Listening to the Buenas Noches album has helped a lot (for those of you who are aware of my addiction to Quevedo’s music). But it hasn’t been a completely shot period of time. Politically, we (the US) enjoyed two major wins: Mamdani becoming mayor of NYC, and Prop 50 passing in California on Tuesday night. That brought a LOT of joy to my Wednesday and week in general, bc double middle fingers up to Trump. And — not to bring Quevedo up too much (jk, I’ll never stop) — I got to see him perform on Sunday, which has been a big bright spot to this Scorpio szn (I even made a TikTok about it).
Today, I looked at my recent music listens, and it’s a healthy blend of reggaeton and Bollywood hits. Yup, sounds about right. I feel the process of recentering my body and mind realigning toward clarity. Realignment has been leading me back to listening to my next projects. The new songs I’ve been working on just feel different; powerful, emotional, and – most of all – showing my growth as an artist. I’ve been enmeshing Bengali with English in some, along with brand new beats and rhythmic styles. A friend texted me some feedback that went straight to my heart:
It meant so much to me to read such thoughtful, encouraging feedback! I really can’t wait to drop these. I feel determined to see these next few projects through.
Glad you stopped by to read this ❤
