Enfnts Terribles

You’ve done so many different things in 2020. Was this year a bad year for you?

No, because you have to make the most out of everything. It has obviously been heartbreaking to see people and the whole world go through difficult times, so it was probably hard to experience for everybody. I’ve tried to knuckle down and decided to get all my work done because I already have my focus on 2021. That’s something that really got me through this year.

Is there something specific that kept you going?

I would say the people I work with! I have a producer and record label that kept me going this year, and they motivated me to get better, so that was my number one source of support this year.

You also write songs for other artists like Mabel and Offset. What’s the difference between writing a song for yourself or someone else?

It’s depending on the fact if I have to write specifically for someone else. If I’m starting a song, and I don’t know who it’s going to be for, it depends on how personal I feel towards the song. When the song captures my personality or is about something personal to me, I wouldn’t want anyone else to sing. I tend to determine whether a song is for me and make sure that anything I write that goes to another artist, they would truly love. All the songs I send to others have something personal as part of their message. I tend to study a lot what the artist stands for and try to investigate what’s important to their project. It’s based on values and experiences.

Why do you think your song “Sex Faces” can be the ultimate sex anthem?

A sex anthem should make you feel good, liberated, not ashamed of feeling sexy, and not afraid of your sexuality. I feel like “WAP” and a lot of other Cardi B songs are a sex anthem to me because they’re so unapologetic, unafraid of being super sexual and bold. As a female, it’s really important for me to portray it because it’s something I admire in other females.

What can we expect from the mixtape?

Soundwise, you can expect very soulful R&B and melodies. You can expect a lot of romantic storytelling because I tell a lot of stories of being in love, and I also talk about the empowerment of getting over somebody, the strength of being a woman. In terms of collaborations, there are no collaborations as of yet, but we still have time to potentially collaborate. We shall see about that …

The new year is near, so what are you manifesting for next year?

I’m just manifesting the continuity of my work and growth within the number of people I can reach out to with my music. I’m also looking for personal growth within myself to make sure that I stay happy. This year had a lot of ups and downs emotionally, so I’m looking to keep emotional stability as well next year.
