BANDAIDS OUT NOW My greatest thanks to all involved in the process, to Kenji, James, Jeff, Ziggy, Tony, Darcus, Johan, Blake, and the rest of the family at Island for all that you do. But most importantly, thank you to those of you who listen. I love you dearly. Everything I make is for you, and I wanted it to be right. I hope you enjoy the record as much as I did making it.

EP beramunisi 5 track ini memadukan lirik yang bernuansa nostalgia dengan kehangatan antara beat lo-fi hip-hop dan juga gitar akustik. Memang agak "aneh" untuk merilis musik di momen sulit sekarang ini (pandemi Corona), namun musisi berbasis Houston ini justru hadir di saat yang tepat karena bersentuhan dengan tema tentang transisi dan juga mengatasi kesulitan masa lalu.

Contoh sempurna bisa disimak di track 'less of you' yang disajikan sebagai single terbaru untuk EP ini. "Hello, Are you awake right now? / God, I just need to hear the sound of you /Please, calm me down," pinta keshi di awal lagu. "And I know that it's selfish, but / You are the only thing that's/ Ever made sense to me, I / I don't wanna do this / I don't know how to do this without you."

Berikut tracklist untuk "bandaids":

1. ?less of you

2. ?alright

3. ?blue

4. ?right here

5. ?bandaids
