SiR - Heavy (Vinyl)

Love is a lot of things but rarely is it simple. Whether that's romantic love, familial love, or the love of oneself. The complexities of love-and the paradoxes that come with it-are the focus of Sir's most personal and confessional project to date, his new album Heavy. - Created while he was at one of his lowest points, the album's title track, "Heavy" is both a cry for help and an intoxicating expression of ecstasy. With lines like, "I'm in love with the pain/ Don't be surprised if you see me dancin in the rain" and "I've been killin' myself softly/ lost my mind completely/ I really hope I can find my way back to you," it speaks directly to the paradox of addiction. "When I wrote that song, I was sick. I was in the depths of my addiction and depression, and didn't have help, and tried to write that song so someone else could hear it and be concerned," he confesses. "It wasn't clicking with other people that I had a problem, because I had money and I looked good on the surface."
