“One of the realest and most authentic lines on Your Absolutely Right is the opening lines on this song here, Indian Ocean, “This is probably one of the hardest songs I’ve had to write”.

I say this because I use music as a channel, a tool, and an avenue to let out my frustrations, my disappointments, heartbreak and general unhappiness, purely because whenever I’m at my happiest, I don’t immediately think of sitting down and writing a song. Channelling my negative emotions became a habit because I’d rather spend my “misery” alone getting whatever it is off my chest.

I ended up writing Indian Ocean in response to the writer’s block I was getting. Being smothered in love and niceties, almost completely obliterating anything negative around, pain being my muse, was smothered up as well, into none existence eventually took notice of what was happening around me from a musical perspective, all the smothering and etc., and I just began to write about it. It took me an incredibly long time, think “Funny How” instrumental, I knew exactly what I was feeling it was just difficult to convert it into a song. Indian Ocean isn’t a cliché love song, it isn’t a love song period.

The song is about how the Indian Ocean (I’m based in Durban and my girlfriend is Indian) which is a few walks away from where I stay, calms me down. How it waters down my aggression, flows calmly onto my shore I heard the instrumental play in a mix by a Durban Hip Hop DJ named DJ SoKool, her SoundCloud, then I Whatsapp’d with questions until I then found the song’s its producers on SoundCloud, Jrobb and Slater, under a playlist full of instrumentals they produced, for free download <winks>.
