Ship Wrek – ‘Metaphysical’
“‘Metaphysical’ was one of the first records we started for our upcoming EP. We loved the song and the meaning behind the word Metaphysical so much that we named the whole project after it. Bipolar Sunshine has been one of our favorite artists for a couple years now. He sent us the first vocal cut and we instantly knew it was going to be a banger. Bipolar has so much swag and charisma in his vocal delivery and it really shines in this record. This is definitely one of our favorite songs in our discography so far!”
