CD"Ive always wanted to make an album like Blush.In ways Ive made records like this before but Ive never produced em at this level of quality when it boils down to storytelling and sonic shaping.Last summer was heavy, awful.I lost the love of my life.It got so bad that I had to leave California.I went back to Texas to link w my day ones.Family, ya know? Ya boy had to slow things down and look in the mirror, and be a grown up.Cut the bitch stuff out.I was like, oh, ok.I AM 100% AT MY BEST when Im directing other artists; 2001 & The Chronic .Blush.When I went to jail over some bullshit outin Conroe, I realized how much I care about my work and my audience.And also how Ive taken so many things for granted for so long.Not only did I feel guilty, I felt small.I believe God finds their way into my thoughts more often than less &&& I know that I am beyond lucky to be able to have a shot at this thing.This career, this industry, this art-form.My life.Thanks.I care a lot.Im strong.I got us.BLUSH is the way.June 2025.P.S., I love Peter but leaving Sony has helped me find my way back to being me.Because I am 17 again even though Im 28.29 next month btw.Anyway, see yallin a week or so.This album is my favourite one so far."- Cliff Simpson Sent from Hawaii blush
