It immediately transports me to a different feeling, which is what I try to do when making my own music: I want to create fantasies, emotionally and visually, where people can escape everyday life,” says McLaurin. “Sometimes visuals give me ideas for music, and Area’s clothes inspire me to create music that moves the body, whether it brings tears, chills or makes you want to dance, and the visual worlds that enhance it.”
