Not Yet by Lila Blue
I made this EP at a point in the pandemic where I had become enveloped in hopelessness, deep frustration, and a lot of heartbreak. An elder in my life had recently contracted COVID-19, the vaccine rollout hadn’t yet begun, and my anxiety and depression were at an all-time high. All I wanted in that moment was music that could hold me and let me rest.
With this craving in mind, I began to record “Not Yet”. The majority of the project was recorded in my bathroom, and was a deep learning process for me in regards to trying to achieve a recording by myself that I could feel proud of. I had the help of two dear friends and collaborators; Damon Daunno, who lent a hand with some beautiful harmonies on “Not Yet” alongside Gabriel Ebert, who also brought a beautiful harmony and piano arrangement to “Simple Song”.
This project brought me so many lessons surrounding patience, the importance of community, and the beautiful gifts that can come with being alone. I only hope that anyone who listens to this EP can garner some of the solace I was able to gain from making it.
