Listening to him, I feel the way I felt first time I listened to artists like Bon Iver, The Weeknd, and The 1975.

Seeing how far this dude has come from the days of a "Museum of Contradiction" and earlier singles is truly a privilege. I knew then and now the whole world knows that he is truly special.

This one guy is changing music, ladies and gentlemen.

I always think the other musicians - especially when they are so few - should be credited too. Lovely to see the productive (but still with great quality) Sam Gendel also popping up here! Both versatile and with an unmistakable sound. Check him out if you don't know ~

Praise the lord 🙌 You deserve this this buddy, I hope you can feel the weight of this moment in your heart 🙏🏻
