To celebrate the mixtape, she shares ‘Baked Cheesecake’ as a single, which is about moving to Berlin with her best mate El. Here she says, “We moved in with our beaut mate Timothy and his gorgeous apartment, where we’d a month of heavy partying - heartbroken and lusting lying hungover on that big navy couch crying - eating baked cheesecake that Timothy made, lost and so sad but excited and exploring being giddy gremlins, making new connections with beautiful people, being queer.”
“This one’s for us, Ello, my elvin queeeen. Sent the track over to Kojaque to see if he wanted to do some production on it and mix it, bring it to where it needed to go. He did. Buzzed.”
Berlin is a collection of songs inspired by winter; harmonica, sexting, dancing, chest flames, clubs, self-destruction, rebirth and baked cheesecakes. It includes single ‘Shimmer Boy’. Additional production and mixes by some of her favourite producers - ATRIP, Kojaque and David Noonan (Just Mustard).
Æ Mak tours Ireland and the UK starting next week, and tickets are on-sale now HERE. She'll be supported by Fears.
