Honestly I've been able To keep the space between us now Cause every time I answer I get down I’ve been willing and able Taking the time and space apart No more bleeding myself dry Just to wind up on a shore apart I’ve been willing and able Taking the time and space apart No more bleeding myself dry I’ve been willing and able Taking the time and space apart No more bleeding myself dry Just to wind up on a shore apart

Remerciment / Thanks to :

Mèsi Bon Dye, tout glwa se pou ou. Bien sûr un grand merci à ma maman, Cathia Cariotte, ma meilleure amie du monde entier. Mon papa Lazard Vertus le grand mélomane, l'homme qui m'a toujours challengé à réfléchir. Pour ma petite soeur Sarah-Jeanne, je veux t'ouvrir des portes que tu n'auras pas à briser. À mes meilleur.e.s ami.e.s Big Eueu for the glam, the quiet moments, the freestyle rap, Juju for believing in me when I wasn't. Thank you Stan & Pauline, Marie-Hélène aka FOXTROTT for being such an inspiration as a human and an artist, Ulysse, Selene, Josiane, Christelle & Sarah Yahyaoui for the real talk and though love, Dapapa for making me see Jesus on a Tuesday, Cass & Jarret for keeping Parc Ex and LA with Soul and no Ego, Jahmula babyy, Dan Seligman for understanding my hyperactive brain, Elisa Shenkier for the tenderness.

A special thanks to my OGs Andy Williams, Scott C and The One Tash who paved the way sonically for me. Thank you to Bahati for the beautiful artwork and Hugo you always got my back for the design.

Thank you to Maïlis Roy-Lessard, Antoine Ryan, Carolan Grégoire and Deborah Zapata for working on the visual-album. Much love to Renelle Desjardins, Chiara Silvestrin, and Rachel Weldon for all the support.

To Jimmy and Kevin ''Ti-Souffri'', because there's still a part of deuxmillepiu in all I do. This goes to all weird Black Femmes around the world.

In lovely memory of my grandfather Sylvain ''Ayibo'' Cariotte who passed away while making this.
