Enjoying as a part of a therapeutic expertise, Memento is an intimate endeavor for EWAH. “For a very long time I provided up issues that had been incomplete, extremely abrasive or sounded damaged, which maybe was a real illustration of my tendency to intense self-doubt and self-destruction,” she says. “In time as I slowly put the items of my life again collectively the music too started to mirror that constructive change.”
