Releasing my studio recording of “Wicked Game” on my birthday feels like a full-circle moment for me. Many of you first heard my arrangement on HiSessions, where the video unexpectedly reached over 4 million views — a response that encouraged me to finally bring this version into the studio. With a stripped-down arrangement of cello, acoustic guitar, ukulele, and vocals, I wanted to give the song space to breathe and allow its vulnerability and emotion to shine. Sharing it now is especially meaningful, as I once opened for Chris Isaak in Honolulu at a young age — an experience that deeply inspired me to dedicate myself fully to my musical journey.
