Ab-Soul might be referencing an earlier line: “the God, give them all showers”. Lupe is an Aquarius – Soulo suggests Lu brings knowledge to those who need it like the astrological symbol for the water-bearer, brings water.

“Scope this horror” is a twist on horoscope – a detailed diagram of the constellations which supposedly help predict the lives of the people belonging to certain Zodiac signs. Secondly, one uses a telescope to look at constellations.

Lastly, “Tron Deadly Discs” were released on the Mattel Aquarius home computer system.

Note: Soul just missed being an Aquarius by a few days. A possible nod to the Age of Aquarius – astrological age of humanity.

“‘Ghosts’ is about learning lessons from situations and overcoming them instead of being pulled under,” Welsh explained. “To let go of the past and flick the switch on to the future.”

Laura mentions this was one of the first songs she ever wrote in an interview with B3SCI:

“Ghosts” was one of the first songs I wrote on my own which was quite a defining moment direction wise for me. It was written during a period of time where I needed to take a step back and just have the freedom to write without any opinions or expectations. I wrote the other songs for the EP over in New York and LA and recorded them out there. The approach for me was no compromising at all with these songs and that included the shape and feel of the production too.

The second official single released off her album and the only song she didn’t write herself (credit goes to Kirby Lauryen. Her vocals resemble and are often confused in this song for Miley Cyrus’s.

In her Spotify Commentary for the album, Kat described “Crazy” as a song that relates to many who are in love. The feelings of insanity and not exactly knowing how to handle the emotions one is feeling:

It’s that you know…sometimes we do go crazy about people and we you know, we fall for someone really hard and we feel like we are insane and that’s basically what the song is evoking and that’s what I wanted to evoke in the video. Just all these different emotions that a girl is going through. When she’s kinda feeling a certain type of way and she doesn’t know how to handle her emotions.

Echosmith is an alternative-pop band formed in 2009, which originally consisted of four siblings––Graham, Noah, Jamie, and Sydney Sierota. (Sydney is now a Quiseng, as she is married to Cameron Quiseng of Allstar Weekend). They went from four to three following the departure of Jamie, who decided to take care of his newborn child. Wonder how they got their name?

We were just going through anything we could think of and we went through hundreds of names.
We landed on the idea of a blacksmith shaping metals and somehow we landed on Echosmith, you know, shaping sounds. It had a cool meaning and also it was short, simple, and easy to say, and it wasn’t too genre-specific, either.
