The thing that’s most personal about this project is that all of these situations I’ve lived through. I was going to ask if you were inspired by some of your own experiences while writing this EP because it definitely feels very personal. I was just really inspired by her and her presence in my life and her reaching all of her goals, so I decided to write that song, with her basically being the reason, and to celebrate grown women everywhere, because I knew that she wasn’t the only one who was working hard like that. You knew she was driven and working hard. I was really inspired by a person in my life, just seeing her work hard every day, whether she was in her business work attire or just chilling in whatever it might have been - like a Nike hat and joggers and just like chilling. They come ready to just scream and jump and kick, and so, you know, you can’t not give them a great performance. I was watching a previous FutureSNDS performance you did in London earlier this year, and they seem to really love you out there. That was the fun of it all for me, just being around my friends. I just got to watch and enjoy it with my friends backstage. Their energy is top-of-the-line, so the performance with them was great, and then I got to enjoy AFROPUNK the next day - not participant.
I’m well! How was FutureSNDS’ birthday celebration in London? Pre-order The Everlasting Wave on iTunes. During our chat, he told us about his latest single, “Grown Woman,” as well as what to expect from his forthcoming project. We caught up with Xavier via phone this week just after his return to the states from London. At eight tracks in length, the EP includes fan favorite “Blind Man,” with production from Hit-Boy, Louie Lastic, Thelonious Martin, and more. Today he announces his new EP, The Everlasting Wave, which is slated for release on October 14. “Changing my name to Xavier, having people call me by my name, it just gave me the opportunity to do better, do more, and go further in business as well.” “The character gave me room to not have to really get out of myself,” he explained. Day-one fans remember him as SPZRKT, a “character” he initially took on that allowed him the space to shroud himself in some mystery. This year has very much been about opening up for Xavier.
