Blue Heart Journals - EP

"Let It Roll is a fun care free track that makes me think of the ocean [one of my favorite places in the world]. I enjoyed dancing in the studio while recording all the layers of vocals and harmonies. Every time I close my eyes and listen to this track I think of my time in Hawaii dancing on the beach and wading in the ocean shore. ALSO Debanaire's verse on this track elevated the listening experience 10X for me haha" -Aaliyah Shambe'

"I wrote Your Eyes after I went through a big break up. I was in my healing phase and ran into someone who I thought I could start something new with. You know the rebound phase... But thankfully nothing happened and I was allowed the full time to heal and instead just rather imagine what a romantic relationship would've been like. I think in some ways that helped me heal. 'The stars shaped you every piece of divine, oh I'm wondering if it's worth all the time to start all over again'. 'Inside your eyes don't know how wise.. helplessly thinking, devoted to you.'. "-Aaliyah Shambe'

"Okay. I know what you may be thinking.... This song is not about dirty things 😭. Literally, I can remember the moment I was in my car, switching through beats sent to me by one of my favorite beat producers Lil ZenD, and I stopped on this track titled "Do It For Me". I was in love with the beat so much so that I pulled out my journal and started scribbling down lyrics and tying them to the melodies that were floating around in my head. The inspiration for filling out the story was a crush I had at the time, reminiscing on the way he made me feel seen and special every time we ran into each other. That's it. Oh - and then I went home and recorded the full draft that same day." -Aaliyah Shambe'

"This has to be my personal favorite track off the EP. I ate UP all of the soft girl content on Tik Tok (pre Tik Tok going dark day) and that along with the experiences me and my girlfriends were all having at the time of navigating the treacherous dating world of 2023-2024, inspired all of the lyrics to this song. It served as an anthem on the way I wished and hoped to be treated by my future husband. I hope other girlie pops can relate, raise their standards and stop accepting bare minimum, low effort men into their lives. Some of my favorite lyrics include: 'Freezing my wrist, ring finger next, ....knowing you got the check, 50/50 aint a thought nah you love me down from my mind to my body round and round" "Your masculine energy, covers and protects me, I feel so safe when I'm with you' "-Aaliyah Shambe'
