Welcome to Buzz, Wreck! Your new single, "Malignant Lover," is incredibly groovy. Can you share what inspired this personal yet danceable tune?

Hey guys, thanks so much for having me on! Lover originally started as a challenge to myself, a challenge to make something super fun and groovy, which would undeniably expand my sound. I instantly fell in love with this track and it was all I worked on for nearly a month! I’m super happy with the way it turned out and I’m sure everyone who listens will love it as well.

Your lyrics in "Malignant Lover" are quite relatable. Can you talk about your songwriting process for this track and what message you wanted to get across?

Some people may not agree with this, but I believe a great song starts with a bassline that defines its character. I love starting this way because it gets me jamming and in the mindset to create right from the jump! From there, it's mostly downhill, focusing on making good musical decisions and choosing sounds that work well together. I try not to overthink my lyrics too much once I’m in a zone and just allow my voice to be another instrument in the mix.

Your music has a distinct blend of old-school funk and modern R&B. How do you balance these influences to create your unique sound, especially for "Malignant Lover"?

I’m inspired by a number of artists and life experiences. Because of that, I think these musical elements have become a part of who I am over time, and they tend to flow out of me. My dad exposed me to lots of old-school funk staples. Parliament, The Bee Gees, Bootsy Collins, etc. And like most kids, R&B found its way into my heart and I was hooked. I try to let the best of these elements shine through my music, especially in my production.

Can you describe the mood or atmosphere you aimed to capture in the clean production for "Malignant Lover"?

Fun was the name of the game with this track from the very beginning. When working with Kevin “MasterMind” Wilson, who directed the music video for Malignant Lover, there was a huge focus on making sure we delivered the track in a way that people could enjoy over and over again. I think we definitely achieved that goal! 

What do you hope listeners feel after hearing "Malignant Lover"? How do you want the song to impact them?

When you really dig into the lyrics of the song, you realize that its message applies to so many situations and life experiences. Overall, I just want people to know that even when life doesn't seem to be going your way, there’s always time to have a little fun and maybe even bust a move!
