Cariño

A few years ago, I found a stack of poems my mother had written over 20 years ago. One in Spanish was about a past lover and it’s stayed with me ever since. I’ve always wanted to reinterpret its meaning somehow. 

Cariño is a dream-like conversation with the self. About softening, listening inward, and feeling at home in your own skin. A meditation on self love and masculinity, featuring Lui Castillo.

Brought this to life with @derandl3 and @calebhaspowers, with an unreleased demo from @midnightnavy that felt like it was always meant for this.
