I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we try to control every little detail in our lives—the plans, the goals, the lists. I used to feel that if I could just get everything in order, maybe I’d make the most of my time here on Earth.


But the older I get, the more I realise that trying to control every second is exhausting. The pressure to get it all right just leaves me feeling guilty, frustrated, and anxious. This constant need for control was weighing me down.


That’s why I’m so excited to finally say that my debut EP, What Comes Next, is out today! 🎉



This project is deeply personal and explores how we deal with the past we once loved, the present we struggle to live in, and the future that is unknown.


Every track reflects on these moments, and I’ve poured my heart into each one.


You’ve already heard the first four songs, which guide you through:

🌞 the turbulence of nostalgia (Girl In The Sun)

💃 the sometimes disappointing nature of mundane life (Twenties)

🛌 how this can be suffocatingly overwhelming (Battered Bruised & Sore)

🏜️ and nurturing your passion when all feels lost (Lose My Hope)


But today, the final piece is here—My New Meaning. This song completes the journey, and it’s become my personal mantra for letting go of control and trusting her (the universe 💫). It’s about learning to live in the present and trusting that what’s meant for us will come to us.


Here’s a little of what I’ve been thinking about while making this EP:

✨ How do we deal with the past when it feels so precious?

✨ Why is everyday life sometimes so underwhelming, and what do we do when it feels suffocating?

✨ How do we nurture our passions when everything feels lost?


My New Meaning is the answer I’ve been searching for. It’s about finding peace in life’s simple moments—feeling the grass beneath your feet, listening to the wind, or floating in the ocean, knowing that “she delivers all her promises.” 🌍


I hope this song becomes your reminder, too. We all deserve everything good that life has to offer—sometimes, we just need to let go and trust the process.


Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I can’t wait to hear what My New Meaning and the rest of What Comes Next means to you.


With love and trust,
