Abby T. – “WestxEast” music video
“I wrote this song at a time when I was making a lot of major life decisions. And I was walking around with this sense of impending doom over what decision would be the right one. When I finished the song, I felt lighter. Now when I listen, it feels incredibly nostalgic and has all of my favorite memories attached from that time.” – Abby T. explained
‘WestxEast’ appears to be a love song on the surface. However, the song is actually Abby T.’s inner dialogue, confronting the concept of aging and accepting new responsibilities while clinging to her adolescence.
‘WestxEast’ contains a relationship-based narrative, tender jazz-inspired vocals, and tuneful melodies that will resonate well with fans of SZA, Kehlani, and Tinashe. The likable tune possesses melodic instrumentation flavored with a warm contemporary R&B vibration. Furthermore, “WestxEast” serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear on Abby T.’s upcoming project, PHASES, due later this summer 2021.
