"The song reflects on two contrasting visions. In the first verse, he looks back on his childhood growing up female and compares it to living in a dream. Then, after a stirring bridge, he revisits the same reflective structure and ponders his childhood growing up as a boy: "When I was a little boy I wanted to be real/ I wanted to feel all of the things my body wanted me to feel," he sings."
"The early standout "four seasons." is largely carried by cascading harp plucks and sweetly-arranged strings, making for an amorous soundscape. But Faiyaz is still the same conflicted lover that we've heard on projects like 2020's Fuck the World and 2023's Larger Than Life; his dithering nature here is just as potent. "I be in my feelings in the nighttime," he sings vulnerably, "And start saying things that ain't true.""
New tracks from Anjimile, Brent Faiyaz, and Deb Never showcase introspective storytelling, lush production, and patient warmth. Anjimile's "Wait for Me" contrasts memories of growing up female with reflections on growing up as a boy, pairing dueling acoustic and electric guitars with a raw vocal delivery. Brent Faiyaz's "four seasons." uses cascading harp plucks and arranged strings to create an amorous soundscape while maintaining his conflicted, non-committal lyrical persona. Deb Never has announced a debut album titled ARCADE arriving May 8 and released the warm, patient title track. The selections emphasize emotional vulnerability and distinctive production choices.
