Summerflix

"Summerflix encapsulates all feelings that arise for Mohali during the summer, one of the most abundant (or challenging) periods of the year. From the long summer nights to the bad habits that leave Mohali twisted; call it a moment in time, or a moment of time that is representative of all summer times. This is Summerflix."

Twisted

Front Cover

I wanted the front album cover to be unique. I feel like summer is often a whirlwind of different emotions. One emotion is being happy that summer is here, another one where you're spending long nights under various influences that makes you feel like you're melting away with it. The melting faces are also representative of the summer heat and weather, like we sweat for being able to belong. The faces from top to bottom also show the transition of the songs on the album and the feelings they encapsulate. From the high energy on Summer Nights to the disco soundtrack on One Time, and from the dark and spacy beats in Bad Habits to the twisted nature of Twisted, I wanted this album to cover it all.

Back Cover

On summer nights, we find Mohali in his element in a pop-funk, dance beat to really emulate the feelings of summer (mostly that of having fun and going with the flow). He takes the pace even further on one time where he talks about his broken experiences with relationships and how he's a hopeless romantic. Because some people take his kindness for granted, he finds that they're often entitled to their own desires, ones which may not sit well with him. Time and time again, Mohali is reminded about the reality of this, which is why he forms some bad habits, and starts becoming deceptive in covering his true feelings. This ends up with him becoming twisted, where he's detached from the outcome.

Summer Nights

Verse:


Look at me, she call me Big Body

I just hit my shot, now they call me Big Bobby

Big Steph Curry on the court, and I'm clutch

And the crowd going up, got the crowd going up

I just got it on, but she 'bout to throw it down

Knowing how she playin' with me, how she makes it sound

Knowing how to get to me, playin' with my mind

I don't know where I'm going, I be takin' time

Ayy, shootin' to the moon in the moon rocket

This summer, I be spendin' outta pocket

Shorty tryna tie it down, but I ain't talk yet

If your money too short, you can't talk yet

Parallel park, the SUV at the start

You got a key to my heart, but you be tearin' apart

Another piece of my heart, and the summer just started

And the summer just started

I be jumpin' out the whip, now I'm walking

Two seater Maserati dawg, now I'm locked in

Brought the wrist in, then I brought the watch in

They was lookin' at me first, now they watchin'

Now I look around me and they plottin'

I can never lose the vibe, I'm on summer nights

Summer, nights, nights

I be on the road, whippin' through the snow

I be on the road, whippin' through the snow

On my own, on my own, on my own

Now my heart turned cold, I be on, I be on

I be on, I be on

I can never go back to the old

To the old, to the old

But I'm back in the

Back in the studio, I be rappin' like Coolio

I be cooler than ice, but it be hot in these streets

It got me runnin' on beats, I got the juice and the squeeze

You got a what and the what? I go my ting on her knees

Okay, in the middle of the summer and I'm on one

I just took another pill, not a strong one

Don't trust any of you hoes, talk some

Don't trust any of you hoes, talk some


Chorus:


Summer, nights, summer, nights

Summer, nights, summer, nights

Summer, yeah we gotta go up

Summer, yeah, we gotta go up

Summer, yeah, we gotta go up

Summer, yeah, we gotta go up

Tonight, in the middle of the summer

Yeah, we gotta go off

Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Verse 1:


Till I break it fucking down

Then I'm boutta go and make my sounds

Boutta make my rounds

She be sending texts when her man ain't around

Treating you like shit but you still sticking around

You in love with the pain or the pain loves you

I don't know what I'ma do if I don't trust you

There's a part of me that really does want you

But I know it's gonna have to be "fuck you."

So I take my pain and move it to the next one

Move it to the next one


Chorus:

Verse 2:


Till I go and break it down, then I'm bouta go and make my

Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic

More than that, I'm in love with the assets

Like your mind and your eyes and your glasses

If you a teacher, I know I'd be distracted

Ideally, I'd like to be a realist

But I'm a dreamer, baby, I like to feel it

Feel things on the first one

Then I go and feel like it's the worst one


Bridge:


Yeah, I got the sauce and I got the juice

When I walk up in this bitch, I be the truth

Yeah, I sip a little, sip a little, wooop

Yeah, I sip a little, sip a little, wooop

Yeah, she messing with my head, I be chasing deadz

Only thing that I be chasing when I'm chasing M's

Imma take it to the end, take it to the end

Imma find my fucking way till I'm sitting in the Benz

After the rain, I'm feeling the pain

I jump on the plane, I'm back on the

Back on the way, I'm finding a way

To getting away from the Canada

If I'm gon' stay, I need me a way

To support the vision I be setting up

But I'm never gon' let it up

I'll be on it till I'm dead enough

I'll be on it till I'm gone, woah

I can't do it all alone though

What's the price we have to pay for

Freedom or this pain or song though

Freedom or this pain or song though

Freedom on us is all I want though

Freedom on us is all I want though

Freedom, all I

All I, all I want though
