Off My Meds
took shape over two turbulent years in Jacob's life. Several major life events happened back-to-back in a very short time, and it ended up breaking him down to a point of total exhaustion. The energy needed to uphold the outer self we all need to function was no longer there, and his inner actual beliefs and values began to show themselves one by one, which was not pretty to look at. Change was inevitable, simply because the price of not changing would be much higher in the long term. The album is a pop-poem about accepting the premise of the life given to you. It is an ode to the perils of modern existence and our birth-given right to love, laugh and cry, whatever hand we may have been dealt to begin with. Lyrically it is centered around self-care and the courage to love someone and be loved in return. About taking responsibility for everything in your life instead of using your life history as an excuse for not living, no matter how tragic or unique your situation might be or seem to yourself. Musically it draws upon an eclectic mix of influences and genres, while still maintaining a distinct underlying red thread throughout the album. It is a melancholic funk hybrid with a positive DNA, and though it sounds like pop music in the best sense of the word, it doesn't quite look and feel like pop music. It is rather a collection of sounds and feelings put into words that are deeply personal -- but personal for all. Also featuring
M.I.L.K.
