I’d been wanting to use a black-and-white aesthetic for a while.” This attention to detail and creative vision allowed the album to come together seamlessly, with each song and visual element complementing the overall theme.
In discussing the message she wanted to communicate to her fans through the album, Young Miko expressed her desire for the music to evoke emotions and connections with her audience. “I wanted it to be music that people could feel, not so much explain,” she said.
