about

Making LIKE THIS is the most fun I've had making a song in a very long time.

Those of you who have supported me over the years will know that the first songs I ever released were crunchy, bass-heavy dance tunes. Back in 2014 when the Evoke project first started, I used to stand in front of a big, cheap PA system in the living room of a house I rented with my three roommates and work on my songs loud enough that you could hear them from the street (apologies to anybody who had to share walls with me back then). Even back in highschool, I used to DJ warehouse raves and house parties and play truly the crunchiest, messiest electro-house I could find. It's been a long time since I've truly been able to reconnect with that energy, but I definitely felt it here.

For me, this year's theme is Self-Assuredness, which has manifested in a a lot of different ways. It's meant releasing a lot more music (a new song every month!), but it's also meant that I've had to take a good hard look at how I present myself and my art to the world. Factually, I am making amazing, unique art. I make the music that I want to hear, because I don't hear anybody else doing it*. To some people that may come across as pretentious or cocky. I've doubted myself more than any of you ever could, but I know what I have to offer.

It's like this: this song is an expression of honest, earned confidence.

As always, thanks for listening and supporting my work.

* There are, of course, many amazing artists that have influenced my work, and this song in particular. I curated a Spotify playlist of songs that inspired me while I was working on this song. You can find that here: open.spotify.com/playlist/6Sd11FpJ0amO16lYJ5p0je?si=1d75ecc759284db0

lyrics

Look, don't sweat it
If you wanna get it then get it
Somebody's gotta make tracks for the pregame
But it's not me babe is it?

It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)
It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)

I’m the mirage in the distance
You’re looking like you wanna come sip this
If you’re gonna show up then you better show out
Lemme work but it’s not about business
Leaving my mark like a lipstick
It’s a gift for the kid like Christmas
I don’t wanna be dismissive
But you play shit and
No one should listen
I’m just kidding
If you wanna get it then get it
Somebody's gotta make tracks for the pregame
But it's not me babe is it?

It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)
It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)

Never been better
I’m a trendsetter
I’m against the conventions
I did ‘em better
My tunes are better
My spit is better
My shoes are better
My fit is better
My life's on the line so I live it better
Never bite my style
Can’t get better than this is
It’s a gift for the kids like Christmas
Hittin’ on the rhythm
I’ve been serving
Infer what I’ve been through
You could never do what I did do
Dig through all my hits
I do not miss
But no one would miss you

I'm just kidding
If you wanna get it then get it
Somebody's gotta make tracks for the pregame
But it's not me babe is it?

It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)
It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)

It's like-
I do not-
Lemme talk my-
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta)
It's like this
I do not miss
Lemme talk my shit
(Lemme talk ta-ta-talk ta-ta)
