A dark-romance arc of polished menace, pursuit, and dangerous attraction gives way to moments of vulnerability and hard-won self-possession. The instrumentals move between tense electronics, intimate piano, and shadowy jazz; the vocal tracks trace the pull of obsession and the uneasy question of who holds power.
