This week’s track of the week (TOTW) comes from Gavin Turek, singer-songwriter from California. She speaks on the inspiration behind this track;
‘I couldn't help but be inspired by this house party I went to in LA not long before.....it was probably past 2AM and we were dancing and laughing and just basking in the energy of being free of typical worries. It was summer and it felt special to feel unbothered by the world outside that living room. I didn't wanna leave. Loving blackness is an act of political resistance according to bell hooks and that's exactly what that party and this song is about. Celebrating your skin, your culture, your identity, what makes you unique.’

I am not a believer that you can only like one genre of music, if a song speaks to me on another level or I just vibe with it; I'm listening to it.
I'm still trying to find my way around life so patience is my virtue!

This track really gives that floaty dazed sound that perfectly matches that feeling of nostalgia, leaving you in a pleasant dream-like state.
