Are you always depressed? Why don't you smile? Don't you think it would be nicer to look at the bright side of life?

No, look, waking up in the morning with crime upon me and an uncontrollable urge to tell a good part of the human race to go to hell has always been my goal. Living in a constant state of nervous breakdown has always been a lifelong dream. And don't look at me with that face, how the hell am I supposed to answer you? What kind of question is "don’t you think it would be nicer to look at the bright side of life?" See, these are the things that drive up the crime. What answer am I supposed to give you?

It wasn't always like this, though; I mean, I was also capable of smiling, and believe it or not, there was a time when I went around singing and dancing like a Disney character. And the birds sang with me; and the dogs sang with me; and the squirrels sang with me; and your girlfriends sang with me (and we weren't just doing that if you know what I mean). Was I high? I can't deny it! But that's not the point.....

"I know how to be happy and you're different from me, you just know how to settle!" 

It was the beginning of everything, and I didn't know it yet; I was too busy seeing the end, when there was no end. The messiah had just knocked on my door, and I didn't know what to do: let her in or kick her out? It was the beginning of everything....

"and my anger now has become a passionate matter                                                                                           it's a way to face my past, to predetermine my future                                                                    to say that every fact is exceptional"

Fears, torments, doubts, paranoias, but also hope and love. These are the ingredients that Ghemon uses to compose a text. Everything that makes the human soul fragile, he tells it, weaving his streams of thought with the most sophisticated and sweet soul one could ask for. An EP of 5 tracks, solid and well-structured where the marvelous beats with their sweet soul flavor will envelop you in a warm embrace, from which you will hardly be able to escape. 

Before suddenly going crazy, before analyzing every situation at an emBRYOnal level hoping to get something out of it, there was too much focus on working in the office of imagination; it was the beginning of everything for Ghemon as well (more or less). So let's continue to move forward, waiting for the day when the good will also get their revenge, so that they can also say "something has changed."   

It was the beginning of everything: the perfect soundtrack for those moments of doubt, ready to be erased by my messiah, out there, waiting for me....
