2017
TRUE
TRUE closes out the 2017 chapter and might be the purest statement in the early catalog. One word. No qualifier. Just the commitment to making something real in a landscape full of artifice.
Lyrically the most direct Mack Heath record up to that point — bars that don't hide behind metaphor, production that doesn't dress up what isn't there. TRUE is the sound of an artist who decided the only thing left to do was be exactly what he was.
True to the craft when the craft don't pay
True to the vision on the hardest days
True to the people who believed from day one
Everything else is noise until the work is done
— TRUE, CLOSING TRACK
