McDonald’s vocal performance is intimate and raw, gliding over lush instrumentation that blends atmospheric pop with delicate R&B textures. Lyrically, lines like “Are we only a piece of time?” and “If time could bite, I’ll be damned” speak to the pain of fading memories and the guilt that follows. There’s a clear emotional weight behind every word, reminiscent of the introspection found in artists like Labrinth or James Blake.
