Why do I listen to the voice in my head Telling me that I’m not good enough Not good enough for you And why do I feel like I’m my best When I’m by myself No thinking I’m no good to love Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it No…. Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it No…. Breaking the chain’s gonna feel like rain On a sunny day so should I leave or stay? Tell me how could I let it swim around in my mind And let it break me down from inside I really don’t have the time To get in my way; to make more mistakes I really don’t wanna play It’s the darkness still trying to steal the day Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it No…. Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it No…. Breaking the chain’s gonna feel like rain On a sunny day so should I leave or stay? Maybe I’m insecure But it’s a feeling that I can’t ignore Cause if ya really know me for sure My emotions roller coaster To get the most o’ me really and truly Before I start acting unruly Tell me that I’m good for you No need for change My design don’t need no rearrange Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it No…. Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it Ya tell me that ya love me But I don’t believe it No…. Breaking the chain’s gonna feel like rain On a sunny day so should I leave or stay?

I’ll keep this short and sweet. I rarely get the opportunity to send heartfelt thank yous to people who give of their time, energy and resources to assist me in realizing my vision. This project would not be possible without the two featured music makers, AndyM and Tom Banfield. AndyM is responsible for the musical accompaniment on the tracks, Akshun, Don’t Believe It, Glass, Proud O’ Ya and Akshun Summer. We’ve been working together as a team since November of 2014, where Corey Marshall who started as a session musician (specialty: keyboards) acquiesced to my demands that he take on the role of building beats and arranging instrumentation moving forward so that we could build our own sound. Thank you for sticking with me now for nearly seven years and hopefully before you jump ship to work with more accomplished acts; we can put out a few more projects. Fantastic Job! Tom Banfield is responsible for the musical accompaniment on the tracks, Shy Guy, Jus Breezin, Steady Rockin and Ten Feet Tall. Though we have been working together for less than a year you are definitely considered part of the Live Blue Entertainment family. Great work! The Barbados National Cultural Foundation has partially funded this project as a part of the COVID Creatives Technical Assistance Grant. I’d like to thank Kelly-Ann, Zeathea, Ramona and Andre for the consummate professionalism you all have displayed. You are appreciated. To my amazing family and friends, Granny, Mom, Uncle, Azzie, Naia, Uncle Cyril and my handsome fiancé, Timothy O’Brien. You guys have given me the strength and support that any creator requires to pursue their art in a highly competitive, saturated and fickle market. You mean the world!
