1. What inspired “Black Widow,” and how did you translate that emotion into the production?
“Black Widow” came from a real place. It’s about reaching a point where you’re done carrying someone else’s damage. I didn’t want to write a sad song — I wanted it to feel like finally standing up, even if it comes from a dark moment.
Production-wise, I built the song around that shift. The verses are tight and tense on purpose, and the drop hits like a release. I leaned into aggressive textures, cinematic impacts, and a melodic progression that still feels emotional without being soft. It’s basically the sound of someone reclaiming themselves.
2. The song deals with themes of abuse and vengeance. How do you approach heavy topics while still keeping the song empowering?
I always try to focus on the turning point, not the pain. I don’t write music to stay in the dark — I write to move through it. So even when a theme is heavy, I’m thinking about strength, clarity, and the moment where everything shifts.
For “Black Widow,” I produced the drop to feel victorious, not hopeless. The track leans into the darker side, but it’s not about staying there. It’s about taking your power back.
3. How did your collaborations with Deathrose and Lonehaven shape the song?
Deathrose was perfect for this track. She can deliver emotion without sounding fragile, which is exactly what “Black Widow” needed. Her vocal performance carries that mix of vulnerability and strength.
Lonehaven helped me refine the production and bring the whole thing into focus. We tightened the low end, sharpened the cinematic moments, and made sure everything supported the emotion of the story. Both of them elevated the track in their own way.
5. You’ve said “Black Widow” is about reclaiming power. What do you hope listeners take from it?
I want people to feel stronger after hearing it. Not in a cheesy way — just the simple reminder that you’re allowed to take your power back, even if you weren’t ready before.
If the track gives someone even a little bit of that feeling, that’s the goal.
6. How do you see your sound and Lyra Records evolving in the melodic/cinematic bass space?
I’m carving out a lane that blends cinematic storytelling with melodic bass and trap. There are a lot of heavy-hitters in this space already, but what I’m building is tied to a universe, not just individual songs.
Lyra Records is going to lean into that — dark, emotional, high-energy music with a storyline behind it. Over time, I want it to become a home for artists who create worlds, not just singles. I’m building something long-term, and each release is part of that bigger picture.
