‘Play on Venus (Live)’: The Album
‘Wait (For Your Love)’-‘‘Struggling’
The album begins on a calm, sensual note, with ‘Wait (For Your Love)’ capturing a wistful take on a relationship that seems to have run its course. Its followed up by a sultry, slow number ‘Lay It Down’. In the live version, the song is a sensual dedication to the couples in the audience, with cheeky interludes that are warm, playful and immersive.
‘Out of Place’ introduces this bright sense of empowerment to album’s soundscape, moving from wistful and sensual to a powerful sense of realisation. A potent one that spells out the state of a loving relationship between “…two misplaced people…”.
‘You Scared’ begins with an explosive, sassy intro, that breaks down into something quiet and deliberate. Its a story, told in three parts with a cheeky twist ending that adds to this warm layer of immersion that sounds addictive.
‘Struggling’ is a slow, looping inner dialogue that brings back that bright sense of empowerment from ‘Out of Place’. There’s a back and forth between the backing vocal and the main, that highlights the mood of this inner dialogue. It builds into something passionate and moving as it goes on.

‘Grandma’s Kitchen’-‘Top of the World’
‘Grandma’s Kitchen’ captures the memory of key advice, in a space that is home-y and warm. Its a slow groove that turns funky in the last 30 seconds. ‘Work of Art’ is a piece of encouragement and strength. Its a song that encourages one to keep moving forward.
‘Get off Me’ is a song about those moments when things get under your skin. Slow and sensual in an almost visceral way, the lines feel like they’re meant to crawl under your skin. “…Everynbody wants something from me and I ain’t got nothing to give…”.
‘Mind Your Gd Business’ is on takes on the same mood as ‘Get off Me’. It does this by beginning with the latter’s last line, “…you keep weighing on me…”. Its push back, telling it audience and listeners to “…mind your gosh darn business…”.
The last song on the album is the conclusive, bright and funky number ‘Top of the World’. It sounds like an empowering anthem, building in intensity with every key-change. It later switches up into a song reminiscent of an energetic gospel track by the end.
