Future State: Shazam #2

As for paper copies, I'm working on them. It'll take at least a few months though while I get ISBNs and formatting sorted out. I'll announce it on my social media when that happens :]

The unkindness, a group that work with corvid, aka karasu, to control their part of the cities crime

The new piano-driven ballad from New York singer-songwriter, Mackenzie Shivers, stares down hate and animosity with dubious eyes and questions its purpose head-on. Piano melodies and wallowing strings layer like black velvet over rigid mountains of tension. Drums heighten each vulnerable emotion climbing towards salvation. The single is the title track off the upcoming album, The Unkindness, out February 8. Shivers wrote ‘The Unkindness’ after feeling powerless from the turbulence shaking the country at its core. The single victoriously lifts its hands from the ground and buries political turmoil deep within the earth. Instead, it replaces the tainted surface with seeds of empowerment and hope. Shivers explains, “Those seeds we planted two years ago? They’re growing and starting to take shape.” The single is a way to release tension building up on all sides of the political environment. Her plea for rescue pushes away the unkindness growing thicker and caving in on all reasoning and understanding. ‘The Unkindness’ moves like a slow-motion frame of a car crash, with the protagonist rising through the flames and marching toward the clearing of smoke.
