Did any event in particular inspire you to write this song?
With Sugar, there wasn’t one particular event at all, it was just a feeling I had at the time. The feeling of love, being intoxicated by it. I was playing around with different vocal styles and flows, and from that emerged what is now Sugar! Funnily enough, it came together in just a day or two.
Can you tell us about the process that went into writing and recording ‘Sugar’?
Sure. The beat was cooked up by myself, my homie and the super talented Sleepdealer. I was entranced with it and knew whatever I approached it with had to be something special. So came away, wrote the lyrics. Then we had a talented friend of ours (Trevor Haines) come in and do guest saxophone. And I added some silky keys to polish it off in the end, and voila! As I said, came together pretty quickly!
