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."

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

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

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:

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
