Marliii wrote GH0$t and recorded her own voice, guitar, and piano arrangements, which she then co-produced with Portland-based record producer Zach Wolf, whose professional repertoire includes having worked with artists such as Adele, Coldplay, Maroon 5, The Weekend, and Jason Derulo to name a few.

This song is about turning points and empowerment: acceptance of past mistakes and acknowledging the necessary changes that must be made in order to grow and believe in yourself.

I wrote “We’ll Shine” while I was in college, and I also produced it for our Audio Production class.

I independently released “We’ll Shine” to share creative vibes with the world 🙂

“Clearly” is a dreamy indie-chill tune that takes on the perspectives of isolation, longing to be heard, and never giving up. I depict the mystic contrast between clarity and chaos in this song by incorporating a concrete R&B-based backbeat, while combining jazz-centric chords and embellishments, along with gradually ascending and cutting the reverb for multiple tracks (most notably, the vocals). In addition, I add delay to my mandolin to form ‘swirly’ sounds, and with my lyricism I grasp onto forces of nature and metaphysical concepts that feel beyond humanity.
