"‘HARDCORE HAPPY’ is all my chaos in the form of a strong warm hug. Growing pains, the aches, while I’m closing my eyes and running towards change. Counting days in my sleep and hoping for something more. When someone asks me what it’s about I say, ‘Everything I am and everything I wish I was. It’s a hybrid of everything I’m influenced by sonically and emotionally. A collage I made with friends." —THE BLSSM via Flaunt (February 2021) "‘HARDCORE HAPPY’ is the perfect amalgamation of all my influences in one. You’ve got hurdling, distorted, rumbling, firecracker-type 808s and drums mixed with really natural textures, hyper-melodic melodies. I’m laughing and I’m singing, and everything feels like it belongs together. But it doesn’t, at the same time. That’s the height of what I wanted to achieve on this EP, as far as the production goes." –via Apple Music
