With the magical flair of a music box opening, ‘Paracosm’ begins with wintry keys, airy vocals, and an eerie hush. As the sound expands in leaps and bounds, Absolutely reflects on feeling lost in a big world, before her perspective shifts from caution to blazing curiosity, while her vocals grow from intimate to sky-high soaring: “Maybe some things are not meant to change, this life makes less sense as I age / The best pieces of me they remain, just a little bit strange.”

Speaking on the creation of the album, Absolutely explains, “I had to relearn how to create the way I did as a child — without rules, without fear. Once I tapped back into that freedom, the world of Paracosm opened up completely. I constructed all of these interesting, fun, and fantastical worlds that would make my younger self feel very happy, safe, and seen.”

With instant-classic energy, ‘I Just Don’t Know You Yet’ opens on huge piano hits, warm record static, and Absolutely’s hauntingly soulful voice painting a vivid picture of the artist dreaming about a less lonely future: “I been talking to you, I been writing stories in my head / Of how it’s gonna go, when I know that I know, it’s you I’ll spend forever with.” As the song goes on, she’s joined by crashing cymbals and surging guitar, underscoring the massive chorus: “I just don’t know you yet / But I know you’ve been sent from God to teach me to love again / Because I think I must’ve forgot / Oh, how to love / Oh, and how to be loved.”
