MUMBAI: "Masquerade," was written in a unique way in collaboration with two-time Polaris Prize listed Louise Burns (Haley Blais) and JUNO-Award winning Kevvy (Carly Rae Jepsen, Fake Shark).

Unlike other tracks on the album, she had the chorus idea sitting on her phone for months but couldn't figure out what the song needed. As soon as they dove into writing, her collaborators elevated that initial vision and they built something special.

"I'm somewhat obsessed with little moments that end up shaking our belief systems, and I had a particular experience when I was about twelve that stands out for me—it was a conversation about the "real world" that instantly made me feel older and realize that adults actually didn't have it all together".

"Masquerade" captures so much of the singers experience of getting older: "you reflect on your past low points and things you would've done differently, but you also recalibrate and let those experiences inform you as you grow and move forward".

It's been an exhilarating and terrifying process readying myself to drift Panorama out to sea for whoever happens to float by. I hope that this song, and the whole album, make you feel something -Michaela Slinger
