Reflecting on his journey creating the album, Fischer noted the impact of the pre-Covid and post-Covid periods.
‘The difference in me, I’ve got more money. Had no money beforehand so that’s fun. I’ve got nicer clothes. I think I’m a lot more confident in who I am,’ he shared.
Fischer said he wears his heart on his sleeve with his music, adding: ‘The album is kind of just an honest conversation with myself.’

‘It’s a bit wild to think about myself even five years ago, to think that they’re the artists that I’m collaborating with on my album. It’s amazing.”
