SWILL• "s'light"

prod. by: Swill, San Soma (@sansoma), and Yo No Sé (@ynsuniversal) mixed by: Swill and Michael Cunningham mastered by: Michael Cunningham cover art by: Darius Airo genius.com/Swill-slight-lyrics

Multi-talented artist SWILL let loose a new single to soundtrack this weekend's supermoon gazing. Perfect for late night dreaming under the full moonlight, the new song is both relaxing and heartbreaking, full of bare-boned honesty. Handling the ambient production himself with help from Chicago artists San Soma and Yo No Se, the song feels a bit like a late night journal entry with a candle burning. Meditative, reflective, but also deeply frustrated and in pain. As sad as it is, this track arrives at the perfect time given the recent announcement that the blog OakCellarDoor (which SWILL co-founded) is indefinitely inactive. RIP to the one of the real ones. "Social constructs, opinions," SWILL rhymes, "have had me mass withdrawing like posting online and panicking, never seeing numbers. And I'll be damned if I made Cellar to bounce the clout up."

“And I’ve been feeling
Like talent is sorta meaning nothing
Just hang on tails of the coats
Of those with the public power”
