Higgs:It was maybe halfway through the usual process of writing a record. I just started to mess around with AI-generated text, because I knew it was possible. And I wanted to see if I could make good lyrics really out of the worst, most extreme text...
“When I Smile“, is just… weird. With its ostensibly upbeat and funky groove, paired with somewhat forgettable hive-mind surface-level lyrics (“All of the birds up in thе tees / All of these trees / All of these trees / They’re like birds“), how this song...
