Taking a more introspective and meaningful approach, ‘Existential Questions’ further advances Idris Din’s musical saga, reiterating the project’s wholesome character.

"Having struggled with the chaos of depression and anxiety myself, I find that music has a way of holding those ugly, angry, or painful emotions in an elegant form, almost like finding the beauty in the reckoning."

"What I’ve come to understand is that corruption exists everywhere, but so do good people. Across every culture and background, ordinary people are trying to do the right thing, despite the systems around them."

"For me, music feels almost like a platonic love bordering on obsession. Because of that, I’ve never really felt fully satisfied or overtly proud of where my artistic career stands; there is always more on the horizon, always more to learn, discover, and explore."

"The thematic core of the EP was basically the kinds of things people only say 'off the record.' It’s really a project about growth, experimentation, and figuring myself out creatively."

"I’m extremely proud of how Juxtaposed turned out because it represents so many different parts of both my life journey and my musical journey, all coming together in one place. For me, this EP isn’t just a collection of songs. It’s a reflection of growth, self-awareness, resilience, and creativity."

‘Listen To The Rain’ sees Clay Goodman at his most tender and reflective, a homecoming to his singer-songwriting roots. All without losing kinetic momentum and wholesome allure.

"Believe it or not, I wrote 'Got Me Fucked Up' originally as a break-up song. But after seeing the unrest in the country, I reworked it as a sort of 'break-up' with the status quo and with a government that has failed its people."
