SOLLYY - STEAM ENGINE BLUES

‘I was really drawn to the steam engine sample in the sense of using it as like a metaphor for how I perceive myself to continuously pursue my career. It inspired me to build the song kind of around this motif of a steam engine constantly whirring and constantly going. It's a really driving sound. That's all I was thinking about when I was making that song - what really drives me to keep going in spite of all these obstacles and in spite of everything.’ - SOLLYY
