LOVER
came as a super playful and giddy ode to an adored lover and took maybe all of 15 minutes to write. As we were listening back to the first recording of the song, Muthoni says she saw and felt a physically striking transgender woman seem to appear and sit next to her without any discussion, Muthoni understood that this was her story. The character would give us no backstory to her life and no further context of her lover except that she was here, fully in-love and wanting to scream about her love from the top of
the roof. We accepted her terms of anonymity and in return offer her this song in gratitude and affirmation because identity is a spectrum and love is love.
