MINISODE 2: THURSDAY'S CHILD
MAY 9 2022 | 4TH MINI ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: GOOD BOY GONE BAD
Minisode 2: Thursday’s Child delves into the emotional turbulence of adolescence, centering on heartbreak, identity, and self-discovery. The love that once offered salvation in The Chaos Chapters proves unsustainable. After his first breakup, the boy* who had relied on this connection for healing and direction, finds himself lost and emotionally hollow. Framed through the lens of the Kübler-Ross model (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance), the album traces his journey through grief and growth. As he begins to process the loss of a love that once defined him, the boy no longer clings to what was. This marks a crucial turning point: a conscious step toward the future, and the beginning of discovering his identity, purpose, and - ultimately - his name.
