Emerging R&B/hiphop artist Tree Thomas shares live performances of two songs from his growing catalogue. The tracks in question "Ghost" and "Last Time" explore different phases in his life as he goes through emotional pains and trauma.
The first cut "Ghost" sees Tree emotionally strung on a lover who is distant in every sense of the word. From being led on with a glimmer of hope to finding out that the love he is expecting will not be reciprocated, Tree recounts the good memories to keep himself from going down under while wishing things would get better. Lines like "You don't even text me back, we was having fun, I don't get it" shows how fast and loose this mysterious lady played with his heart ad left him in the dust.
"Last Time" is a lovelorn track that details the aftermath of a breakup and the lingering emotional pain Tree carries within as he tries to find closure. Armed with his expressive lilting cadence and distinct tone, he pours his heart on wax with lines like "try to convince myself that I didn't need you, but fell once realized I bleed you/close my eyes at night and I see you". Overall, the solemn theme is amplified by Tree's soaring melodic runs on the chorus as he musters the strength to leave the past behind and move on.
