Key tracks are centrepiece ‘(Track 4) Caving In’, a painfully honest confession of a dilemma between rationality and innate jealousy, and ’(Track 6) Spring Street Honeybee’, tracing a walk down of a bittersweet young love story. ’(Track 2) Please Don’t Do It’ is an Album Version of a previously release single, channeling a melancholic tune about one’s frustrations with their person going down a path of self-destruction.
In kotoji’s words, “I hope I am able to be there for you on your respective journeys, and this body of work can be your companion as you go through these moments of being human.”
‘Scribbles of the First’ was already out on all digital platforms on 17 November, 10pm (Central Standard Time).
