Ransom is a song born from a moment of clarity Blake had last January. She realised she'd spent so much of her life holding her own happiness to ransom—thinking she had to earn it by ticking off every single thing on her never-ending to-do list.

"Ransom explores that internal tug-of-war between striving for the future and remembering that life is happening right now. It’s about learning not to postpone joy."

"I challenged my self a lot in the creation of this work - recording/editing live violin and drums for the first time. It helped grow my confidence in both my musical direction and technical skills as a producer."
