The LP is a brutally honest collection of 10 songsall about the exploration of dating.Sonically daring, the music serves as both a time capsule of contemporary romantic struggles and a cathartic scream into the void for anyone who’s ever navigated the treacherous waters of modern relationships. The idea for the EXES was sparked when deegie stumbled upon her online journals spanning nearly a decade, which included details about her past casual and serious relationships that were too good not to indulge in. From men who made it clear they never wanted to be serious, to clingy, cloying men who held her too tight, each song is an exploration of memory, accountability, and the perspective bestowed by time.
From a decisive declaration of finally knowing that marriage and children wasn’t for her, to an uneasy yet powerful nu metal track that confidently explores the complexities of processing trauma after rape, deegie fearlessly confronts the cultural myths surrounding romance, the pitfalls of casual dating, and the lasting impact of toxic masculinity.

The idea for the LP was sparked when she stumbled upon her online journals spanning nearly a decade, which included details about casual and serious relationships that were too good not to indulge in. It’s an exploration of memory, accountability, and the perspective bestowed by time and, in a particularly bold move, each song on the album will include the name of the boyfriend it’s about in the song’s title. This unflinching approach transforms the album into a deeply personal diary entry, inviting listeners to bear witness to deegie’s reletable journey.
