LA-based artist and filmmaker Mason Foster AKA ziploq bag creates intimate and honest music for anyone who seeks inner honesty. Something that's not always easy, because I'm not sure about you, but I certainly have tried to deceive myself and avoided having that honest inner talk.

Not sure how her new single, "Ivory", came into my life, but it was love at first listen. I love the spacious instrumental, the scent of Frank Ocean, and the depth of her voice. The song unfolds as a moment of self-awareness, examining resentment through the lens of unmet expectations. Rather than placing blame, it reflects on the quiet harm of projecting ideals onto partners and learning to accept the limitations that were always there. Things we couldn't do anything about. It is that raw Mason honesty that gives the track a reflective weight, and I love how it is turning vulnerability into a subtle form of release.

One song can instantly make me excited about an artist, and I'm certainly keeping a close eye on ziploq bag.
