MANQUE
Amidst the woes of a love gone wrong, we can’t help but reminisce. MANQUE speaks to the highs and lows of lost love from every angle - whether fiery lust, true romance, or deepening heartache, this record brings it all to the forefront. Originally taken from the French “tu me manque,” meaning “I miss you,” the EP’s title displays a two-fold meaning. A “manqué” is also someone who has failed to live up to an expectation - accepting what has become, the manqué eventually sees where they fell short and must carry on.
QUICKSAND
Sometimes the harder we try, the deeper we sink. Quicksand tells the story of the problems we create as we try to solve what went wrong in the first place. In an honest moment of ownership, DeBlock recalls what it feels like to do your very best to redeem what is already lost. Ultimately, we all must face the enduring paradox - somehow, the more you do, the more you lose.
MYWKY
Reminiscent of the good old days, MYWKY brings back deep memories through an addictive hook and raw lyrics. DeBlock confesses the bittersweet wonder of what once was, and what still could be. This timeless story of the one that got away explores the pain of loss and the ecstasy of our most beautiful memories.
NECESITAS
Necesitas flirts with the fire of a newfound love while provoking the visceral flutter of the butterflies in our stomachs. The smooth rhythms and sensual overtones paint a picture of the love-drunk excitement that comes with a new relationship. DeBlock’s Spanglish wordplay invites us to choose what we want - and, really, what we need.
RIGHT WAY
Birthed from an unsuccessful romance, Right Way speaks to the pain and frustration surrounding a failed relationship. In an attempt to do as much as possible to make things right, DeBlock expresses his pain as he faces the inescapable unraveling of this aforementioned love. The song takes you to a place we are all too familiar with: heartbreak.
